Agree with others who say that PM should have bracelet not the OF strap. I traded a few SS models for a YG sub and am very happy.

I would keep what you have and add later when funds become available, even if it's years away. Otherwise you'll forever be chasing your tail buying back watches you wished you had kept.

I would keep 500c and BLRO, not a fan of OF and prefer PM on bracelet.

Personally I would keep one SS and add some cash but it seems you already have your mind made up so just go with what ever makes you happy.

Now that rolex change the choco into stick index plus black subdial, that ticks all my box. But I’m not splurging any more funds for watches, so either stay steel with those two I hve right now, or trade it for the PM daytona plus some cash.

I never have a PM piece before. Sub, hulk, SD43 before. I love the daytona case size, always feel the maxi case on GMT and sub is too big. Plus, I have the tudor BB58 for my daily beater. What do you think? Thanks before for the opinion guys.
I had the 116515 for a few years, on rubber B strap. Easily one of the best watches I have ever owned.

You would be doing just fine if you sold the SS Daytona, and went ahead with a 116515. The new chocolate dial is indeed a stunner. Just keep in mind if you want to go back to the SS Daytona they are very hard to find, so maybe check out the 116515 first and decide if it is for you. They should be sourced easily at an AD.

There's always room for another watch. Keep the 2 steel watches. The PM Daytona is easier to get over time.

Once you've gone PM it's hard to wear anything else. I'd go for it. I can't think of a single SS piece I let go of that I'd prefer over my PM pieces.

I wouldn’t. You have two of my grails. Only PM piece I would consider is smurf. But not for the price of a ceramic Daytona or Pepsi (let alone both). They are just fantastic looking watches that deserve the hype and premiums.

Does the oyster flex choc dial Daytona considered as PM?

The case and buckle is made of Gold, so I think Yes. Most dress watches from Patek and some nautilus and aquanaut also use strap instead of bracelet.
