Bye Bye Daytona!
I have decided to part with my Cosmo and keep the LV.The main reason was that I bought the Daytona used and I like to be the first one always.I bought it second hand because as you all know they are almost impossible to get new,and this was a watch that I just had to have.The other reason is because it had a bad ding on one of the lugs that I never got over!(ocd is my undiagnosed diagnosis).Also, on this forum,I have re-aquired my taste for the "simpler" Rolex designs.I had forgoten how beautiful a SS DJ is,being all proud of my Cosmo.Dont get me wrong,I still like it very much,but most probably will get my hands on a brand new one soon in the future(a fat hands,yeah!).For now maybe a new TOG or an Explorer I or a II with a white face!Any opinions?

Go for a GMTIIC for the time being. I love my Daytona and would not trade it for the world, but the truth is as an everyday wearer I do find myself looking for a different type of watch, something with a date and a second hand that is not stationary. I would love to pick up a GMTIIC but the price is too steep for me! It is the perfect watch: an awesome movement, great functionality and an excellent heritage!

Less bling? Simpler design?
I'd suggest you buy an SS Sub Date.

TOG and Speedmaster (to placate you when you miss having a chronograph!)

My vote for the GMT IIc! Check it out in person, you won't be disappointed.

I've said it before, I'll say it again. I know this is a Rolex Forum and what I am suggesting is heresey but as an everyday watch maybe consider a simpler swiss watch like an omega 2254.50 or an Oris TT1 diver, both would cost you about a 3rd the price of a new SS Sub, and about a 5th of a TOG or GMT, JMHO :wink: :wink:

I think with the 42mm Daytona on its way we will see many Daytonas appearing for sale.
The GMT IIc is without a doubt the new Rolex must have. f |

Daytona is useless to me without a date function.
