SS Daytona Ceramic with the white dial if you can get it at msrp. WG if you have to pay Grey Market prices for the SS. Always on a bracelet for me.

Based on what you say (non ceramic, light dials), I would suggest the SS 116520 white or the WG 116509 on oyster or 116519 on oyster (silver dial, see first pic in post #2)

A few weeks ago a local dealer had white dial TT pre ceramic for 9.5k Euro. No papers but this is a reputable dealer. On the right leather this would tick a lot of boxes and put you in the Daytona club without shame. The timing for myself was not right but I still fail to see how the TT is worth so much less.

The 116519LN WG with the steel dial on Oysterflex would be my choice. From the looks of your collection, you need another watch without a bracelet to offset the others? :) Very impressive collection btw!

It’s funny / plenty of wg lovers per the poll yet wg tends to have worst resale, of which sadly I have a few datapoints. Let’s see if 116519 can really hold LT

I vote the 116519LN WG you have an impressive collection and I think the WG would be an excellent addition to the collection.

116518 oysterflex. You can actually find these to buy, which is nice.

One fitted with a small digital clock in the bottom line the old Breitling models so I can tell the time.
Relax, just joking, but truly the least legible Rolex for me unfortunately. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

LOL. But I get it re legibility. I can read a GMT or Sub in a fraction of a second. I like the Daytona, but it takes more effort to read the time. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Buy second hand WG they drop price rapidly then level out. I love my sporting dial.

Thanks for the advice everyone. I am currently leaning toward a white 116520. I will post an incoming when I pick one up.

I don't care which Daytona you add, but I will say you're gonna have one seriously awesome group of chronographs in that box!

Another vote for a 116520, white if you prefer the light dials.

If you can afford the extra, white Gold is the way to go:
