What to add to Daytona 116528BLA?
So after long deliberation I pulled the trigger and got the gold Daytona with the blue dial that I had become obsessed with. It is great and I love wearing it. I feel like I should baby it though, as the 18k does show little scuffs in spite of me being very careful with it; especially the mirror finish parts of the bracelet.
I next want to get a stainless watch that I can wear for more vigorous activity and am thinking about a GMT 116701BLNR or DS 116660BLSO. (I know, I like blue). I have seen some of each in the for sale adds but the DS seems to be very scarce. Is the color fade dial likely to be a fad or is it something that will be desirable long term? Thoughts? |

Now that's a sexy watch...great purchase. I love the BLNR so get that for your second.. or go with a different brand time piece.

absolutely stunning daytona.
as for what's next, since you feel the need to be careful with the daytona's polished bits, i would suggest looking at something other than the BLNR (which has polished center links). maybe a submariner or explorer? or an older GMT? |

Stunning Daytona...I would suggest the DSSD to pursue your more vigorous activities with...your call if you get the new D-Blue or the all black.

With a watch like that, chances are you'll not wear another. Nothing feels and looks like a solid yellow gold watch and bracelet. And it's a Daytona.

Wow that looks great. I have the TT version with the same dial. I am debating on trading for that version

Hmm as I also have a deepsea dweller and I love it and would suggest you to get one but, looking at the picture of your beautiful daytona it seem like yours wrist would be a little too small for the deepsea so I'd suggest a submariner 116610lv if green is fine for you. Or the new sea-dweller ? since you like blue dials I think you might like the green too since daytona you have is already a blue dial :)
