Icon5 Bored with Black Dial Daytona

Hello All,

I have a white and black dial stainless steel Daytona about 5 yrs old each. I gravitate towards the white always and seldom wear the black dial. I've been offered $ 8,500 for the watch but I'm not sure what I would acquire with the money. The DJ-II blue dial with markers seems appealing. Any thoughts on going thru with transaction or other watch suggestions?

Thank you.

You could swap out the dial for the WG version-black with red hands-or heck, just flip it for the WG...no boredom there.

if you want blue, my vote goes to the DJII stick or 15300/15400.

Not sure what is in your collection but I would look at some different watches. Maybe the Milgauss GV or Yachtmaster Blue? Also look at other brands like AP, Panerai, JLC, etc.

If you are feeling frisky you can send it out to get DLC'd for a completely different look.

That is a stunning picture of the AP Offshore Diver, just wish they weren't so expensive, I really like the regular Royal Oak Chrono too, nice alternative to a Daytona....
