Hello all, unless I win the lottery my next watch will be my last and my wife says I can have a Rolex.

My current collection consists of;

1. Submariner 16610 LN
2. Black Bay Red
3. Seiko RAF Gen 1 Chronograph (late fathers military issued watch).

Which watch out of the Submariner 116610 LV and the Daytona 116520 White dial does the forum think would best compliment my humble collection? Thank you in advance for sharing your thoughts

brookish · 14 November 2015, 12:34 AM

Daytona, you already have a Sub...

KeithP · 14 November 2015, 12:39 AM

Daytona. You have a Sub and a Black Bay. But, if divers are your thing, an LV would make a nice trio.

LOVE that Seiko by the way.

ragingcao · 14 November 2015, 12:40 AM

2 divers already and all black dial in your collection, white Daytona would complement it nicely. Plus it's a freaking gorgeous.

Etschell · 14 November 2015, 12:48 AM

sell the 16610 get the 16610lv and daytona. it is that simple.

Rolex addict · 14 November 2015, 12:55 AM

I have both. If I had to chose between the two, the Hulk easily wins.

Gerardus · 14 November 2015, 12:59 AM

Hulk for me, because of the date.

namussuz bilo · 14 November 2015, 01:06 AM

I prefer the Hulk to the Daytona but with your collection I would go for the Daytona.

CRM114 · 14 November 2015, 01:06 AM

Easy, Daytona.

Yup, same here... since you already have a Sub in there.

Eric Chan · 14 November 2015, 01:14 AM

Tough one. I would pick the LV in the end.

AK797 · 14 November 2015, 02:15 AM

I would usually say LVc but today I'm gonna say Daytona.

jjnd08 · 14 November 2015, 02:16 AM

I've owned both; Daytona gets my vote. I got sick of the LVC in 3 months.

I had the Daytona for 18 months; the only thing that got me out of it was the allure of the RO.

boost2perfection · 14 November 2015, 02:26 AM

Daytona, but if you like Subs buy another who cares what others think, I have 2 Tudor BB, and 2 Subs one date C and one no date lol 14060

MaverickMP · 14 November 2015, 03:30 AM

Daytona, all day

travisb · 14 November 2015, 03:34 AM

The Daytona would probably fit in better with your current collection but I prefer the LV.

ZeKe · 14 November 2015, 05:09 AM

Its a toss up....both great options.

sea-dweller · 14 November 2015, 05:20 AM

Daytona!

WristEnvy · 14 November 2015, 05:24 AM

Like what others said, you have two divers in your collection, get the Daytona.

But then you'll have two chronos. How about a GMT?

Note: blnr is gone, but not forgotten.

It seems to have taken me forever to get to this point. Thought about BLNR, but wasn't totally sold on it. Any particular reason yours is gone but not forgotten?

I had a chance to flip mine for the Daytona without losing any money. Then I got the 16710 Pepsi which filled my GMT void.

I wouldn't mind getting a blnr again in the future, but I love the versatility of the 16710. I have all 3 inserts and an oyster and jubilee bracelet to choose from.

Thanks for the response Ray, interesting that the BLNR made way for the Daytona.

No worries. Yeah that seems like an endless debate here on TRF. Goodluck with the search.

SLS · 14 November 2015, 07:26 AM

Daytona

HL65 · 14 November 2015, 07:30 AM

Tough one as love them both. Since you have a Sub I'd say Daytona.

Ruud Van Driver · 14 November 2015, 08:05 AM

The Daytona would be the obvious choice as you have a Sub and BB. However, I have a black Daytona, which I prefer over the white, and an LV. You seem to like divers so in your case I'd go LV

el1125 · 14 November 2015, 12:27 PM

Daytona
