I have a dilemma which is causing me more stress than I care to admit (I have problems😩)
I have a 2017 stainless skydweller -white face which I purchased fro local AD here in the UK.
I also have a 1997 white face zenith Daytona with original box etc but no original paperwork. The watch was serviced by Rolex in 2016 so I have service paperwork - it is a fine example
One has to go due financial reasons. I also have New datejust 41 rhodium dial and Seadweller43
I hope to add a ceramic Daytona within next 12 months (if AD is true to his word).
I find the skydweller very bling and the movement is wasted on me - I never travel. At the same time the build quality is amazing and if I sell I may come to regret decision in a few years. It also similar to the datejust41
The zenith brings a smile to my face each time I wear it. I have also got used to the old style bracelet but not having the original paperwork and it being the only watch I have not purchased new does bug me slightly. Also do I need 2 Daytona’s in my collection
As mentioned one has to go Please let me have your opinions

Keep the Zenith.
I’d sell the DJ but that’s because they’re not my cup of tea, so that’s probably not very helpful.

kilyung · 29 January 2018, 06:41 AM

Sell the DJ and Daytona (Zenith).

dcash0615 · 29 January 2018, 06:45 AM

Sell the DJ41. Keep the Zenith. Those are getting harder to find. They ain’t making them anymore you know.

codester · 29 January 2018, 06:49 AM

I’d keep the Zenith...it’s a special piece and no longer made.

AK797 · 29 January 2018, 06:56 AM

Sell the Zenith, and post a pic of the DJ rhodium and the others.

Otto · 29 January 2018, 07:09 AM

Keep the Zenith. They are becoming scarce and prices are increasing rapidly. The Zenith Daytona and the new ceramic Daytona are very different watches in so many ways. You have the service papers. That would be enough for me.

brandrea · 29 January 2018, 07:10 AM

I guess it depends on how much cash you need to raise

All of the above are good suggestions

Wcdhtwn · 29 January 2018, 07:12 AM

The SkyDweller is useful more more than just the GMT aspect. Tracking the month and date is useful and a great complication. So definitely keep that one. Also the SD43 has the latest and greatest movement, and the one that all the Basel '18 sports watches could get... you have it now so keep that. I agree the DJ is probably the one to go but the rhodium dial is beautiful so it's tough to let it go. Keep your current Daytona, and probably no, you don't 'need' a second Daytona... but when did we start collecting Rolex based on need?

Really appreciate opinions guys. - this is my first post for a few years Will upload ASAP the seadweller is a keeper and loving the rhodium dial with jubilee. Guess the skydweller doesn’t sing to me like it should - really can’t put my finger on why. At the same time I have flipped Watches in the past and regretted it. I did mention I have problems �� Long term value not a major concern but it’s good to know the zenith May continue to increase probably at better rate than skydweller.

watchwatcher · 29 January 2018, 07:33 AM

I would keep the zenith. It sounds like you really love it...the use of words like bring a smile to my face, etc. If you let it go, very difficult to get one back. And, as others have mentioned, the value is only going up.

It sounds like the odd man out is the Sky-D, and you are in a rapidly closing window of getting your money back on that one, so...out it goes. It shouldn't be too difficult to re-acquire if you change your mind.

Tangier11 · 29 January 2018, 08:04 AM

Sky and 41 would go for me

Xerxes77 · 29 January 2018, 08:10 AM

Sky and Seadweller 43 mm
