Question for everybody....

[China Man]

Hi All,

I have a question (well actually a poll but I'm not too sure how to set one up) for everybody.

Given a price of $10,900 ... would you ....

1) Spend over retail for a NIB steel daytona (white dial)
-or-
2) Spend under retail for a NIB 18K white gold daytona on a strap (same white dial)

I'm not sure if this question has been asked before ... but if you have a white gold daytona on a strap, would it be feasible to buy the oyster bracelet for a steel model and fit it on the white gold case?

Thanks to all for your input!!

That bracelet would probably run a lot. Also the stainless and white gold would not match in color, especially over time.

ah you're right. So, you're voting for 1?

I would vote for 1. It would probably be a better investment in the long run too if you were considering it as an investment piece which some people do.

The SS Daytona Bracelet cost around $2000 US.

Frankly, I would go for the SS Daytona NOW! With a price increase (dunno yet when it comes!), the SS Daytona will probably hit the 10 K mark.

About the YG Daytona on a strap:

NO, you cannot add a steel or YG Daytona bracelet to it later on. Notice the special lugs on the YG/WG Daytona with the leather strap???

Those special lugs (or rather the prominent piece BETWEEN the lugs!) prevent a metal bracelet to be fitted to those models.

You MIGHT be able to fit the bracelet by having the case ALTERED, but I would not recommend that.

So to put it shortly: If you buy a YG/WG Daytona on a LEATHER strap, you GOT a YG/WG Daytona on a leather strap......for LIFE!

Yes, that's right!

Very expensive, indeed, but it also a very well-made bracelet
