Hi All,

I am thinking of letting go of my SD4K and top up for a Daytona White C. The Daytona White C would be a daily wear just like my SD4K.

If you can have one watch only, would it be the Daytona or SD4K?

What does the community think, should I do it.

Cheers.

Will you miss the date? Do you prefer the chrono to the timing bezel, or does it not make much of a difference to you?

DJFanUK · 25 July 2023, 12:39 AM

How much cash on top?

SD4K is a better one watch collection than the Daytona for me personally

SD4K >>>>>>>> DaytonaC

Does not make a diff to me, honestly. I never really set the date on watches.

Daytona. But it will be small for your wrist if you are using SD4K daily. What's the asked $ difference between them?

Benzsiam · 25 July 2023, 12:51 AM

I would go for it.

daytona might feel small, could consider keeping SD and get a speedmaster for a chrono

WatchTimes · 25 July 2023, 01:12 AM

SD4K any day over a Daytona

ExplorerI · 25 July 2023, 01:16 AM

Id keep the sd4k and buy a speed master with the cash

Vipes · 25 July 2023, 01:30 AM

I have both and much prefer the Daytona so yes for me on the trade.

GarageBMW · 25 July 2023, 01:42 AM

had both, kept the SD4K. Forget the hype, the SD4K is much more special and rare. Sure it is a nice watch, but for the price some are asking, no thank you.

Driver8 · 25 July 2023, 01:49 AM

Keep the SD4K IMO. Much rarer (if that's important to you) plus both the last of the 40mm SD's and the first of the ceramic-bezelled SD's. A one-off case that was never used on any other version, and just a fantastic all round watch that you can do pretty much anything with.

MichelleP · 25 July 2023, 01:49 AM

I'd go with the Daytona. I loved my SD4K but ended up letting it go. Just wasn't the most comfortable on wrist for me.

Watcheroo · 25 July 2023, 01:49 AM

As long as you’re not getting fleeced, it’s a no brainer.

jb335 · 25 July 2023, 01:52 AM

Obviously you will be adding significant cash but putting those specifics aside, I’d much rather daily a Daytona than a large diver.

brandrea · 25 July 2023, 03:00 AM

I’d keep the diver and add the Daytona. If you need the funds from the sale of your SD4K to buy the Daytona, I’d just save a little longer

Solo118 · 25 July 2023, 03:48 AM

The SD4K is a future classic, very small production run, imho the goldilocks of all the divers.

However I am a Daytona fan first and foremost. If I had the choice to have one watch, the Daytona it is.

Has nothing to do with price, just the fact that a Daytona (even the 116500) can be worn with anything and everything, it is tough as nails, and fits like a glove on my smaller wrist.

I have tried many, but the Daytona is the one that always has a spot on my wrist.

Ferdelious · 25 July 2023, 04:00 AM

Both great watches. I'd keep the SD4K personally but there is no wrong choice.

Linuxpenguins · 25 July 2023, 04:51 AM

SD4k. No doubt.

As others have said time and time again, it's special. It's only going to go upwards in price, if you care about that.

The best sports watch about.

rockysw · 25 July 2023, 07:01 AM

Are you referring to 116600 or 16610 (some people refer to 16610 as SD4k as well).

I had 116600 which I traded for 116520 which I then traded for 116500. So I would say yes as long as the added cash is in line with market value.

116500 is not my daily wearer as I find PCLs to be too blingy (the case is all polished as well). So it is more blingy. For me, date is a factor too. So 116500 was never a contender for daily wear.

So if you dont mind a lot of ploished surfaces (you have already mention date is not a factor) then it will make an absolutely great daily wearer.

BraveBold · 25 July 2023, 07:04 AM

Absolutely choose the Daytona over SD4K. Not even close and even if you have to pile cash on top.

Daytona >>> SD

100%

train-time · 25 July 2023, 07:09 AM

The 116500 Daytona is considerably smaller than the SD4K. It will wear like a mini-watch in comparison. You may want to wait for a 126500.

Go for the Daytona if that’s what you want . Personally , I would keep the Sea Dweller .

Alex71168 · 25 July 2023, 08:13 AM

For a one watch option I’d keep the SD4K for most of the reasons above
