IN a FLASH!!!

DanD.1 · 5 April 2022, 01:08 PM

I think the ceramic Daytona fits nicely with the other Daytonas you have, you should keep it

adawil2002 · 5 April 2022, 08:55 PM

Stainless Daytona for Platinum Day Date, in a heartbeat!

Daytonaman799 · 6 April 2022, 02:52 AM

I appreciate everyone’s input and I am leaning to the consensus of doing nothing or finding one that’s at least complete. I haven’t fully decided yet but that’s where I am leaning.

fixinbones · 6 April 2022, 05:24 AM

I would only do it if the DD has the newer clasp with the hook and beak locking mechanism as opposed to the older friction fit clasp.

It’s the new clasp…

Daytonaman799 · 8 April 2022, 11:51 AM

Seller came back to ask how much more cash I wanted….

Daytonaman799 · 9 April 2022, 09:41 PM

The dealer came back and said panda plus 6k my way for their watch….

I'd still ask for a overhaul on top of that. Then you get Rolex documentation and assurance it's 100% Rolex right.

AzHadEnuf · 11 April 2022, 03:02 AM

Was on the fence until I saw your collection. I’d do it in a heartbeat.

Theothergreg · 11 April 2022, 03:10 AM

Yes, I'd do it.

budokanman · 12 April 2022, 06:09 AM

Did you make a decision?? Tough choice but the platinum DD is such a killer piece I'd go for it

Just means it wasn't meant to be.

The SS Daytona should always have a prominent place in the rotation.

It's an awesome watch.

CalCJK · 12 April 2022, 11:15 AM

keep the daytona. Buy wait a bit and buy the complete set of DD when opportunity hits.

Daytonaman799 · 15 April 2022, 10:37 PM

Found a full set one.

Not sure they would do same deal I had last week.

Daytonaman799 · 2 May 2022, 05:09 AM

I did the trade…basically NOS 118206 full set plus some money my way for the Daytona C. The feel of a platinum watch is something else. Just feels great. I am sure I will miss the other at some point but I feel like it was worth it. Out in the light the dial is just sublime. Thanks for all the help.

100% the right move! PT DD is

!

Plus it fits your collection so well. Plus plus the cash your way means you are almost 50% of the way to buying back the Daytona at MSRP. Such a no-brainer.

Huge congrats!!! After seeing the rest of your collection, I would have done the same!
I am also waiting to add a 36mm plat DD.
President and ice blue does add alot of beauty to your already amazing collection.
Congrats

I love it!!! I would love love to find this NOS!

HogwldFLTR · 2 May 2022, 08:00 AM

I'd go with what you want; follow your gut.

nyc2la · 2 May 2022, 03:13 PM

Congratulations!

Benzsiam · 2 May 2022, 04:13 PM

Just keep your Daytona and pay cash for Plat. D-D 36.

garyk · 2 May 2022, 09:41 PM

Looks good and makes sense…

Watchurself · 2 May 2022, 09:53 PM

Do these 118206 day dates have solid end links? Nice watch!
