Daytona but if you have a Rolex then AP 15400 or 300.

luvsub · 26 June 2015, 06:16 AM

I will get Daytona.

hknslmz · 26 June 2015, 06:30 AM

Daytona

Spartacus · 26 June 2015, 06:34 AM

Daytona. No doubt. It will last a lifetime and if necessary easily flipped.

watchwatcher · 26 June 2015, 07:24 AM

I would go with the Daytona. But if you're open to TT, then there are a few more dial choices from the standard black and white. And you can get pretty close to your budget with some judicious shopping.

Watcheroo · 26 June 2015, 07:34 AM

Look at the APs a few here have mentioned. You might also be able to squeeze in a lightly used AP Diver at that price.

Good luck 👍

tomcorkery · 26 June 2015, 12:03 PM

agree ap diver would be nice. Also really like the blue ym.

What else do you have in your collection?

From the choices you've listed I would go SS Daytona black dial. I'm wearing mine today and it is a beauty without equal.

DeeTee · 26 June 2015, 12:16 PM

I might be in the minority but I would take the JLC.
Stainless Daytona is featherweight

crfsocal · 26 June 2015, 12:25 PM

SS Daytona

Exhausted · 26 June 2015, 12:57 PM

I would do slightly used AP but all your suggestions are great.

Nycturbovr6 · 26 June 2015, 01:06 PM

Explorer 2 and 16710

myc ritz · 26 June 2015, 01:07 PM

Add a few bucks and get an AP 15300 with blue or white dial.

Daytona all day long, for the reasons already mentioned.

You won't regret spending 12k on a Daytona! Trust me ImageUploadedByTapatalk1435292936.748380.jpg

GsurgBM · 26 June 2015, 02:40 PM

Daytona

Hairdude1 · 26 June 2015, 02:41 PM

Daytona!

Rogdogg · 26 June 2015, 02:43 PM

Daytona from those choices, however, I would also consider adding a smidge to get an AP 15400ST

QueueCumber · 26 June 2015, 02:45 PM

Rolex D-Blue for me if I were in your shoes.

I tend to agree. A 15400 might be a fun change of pace

Second choice goes to JLC moon.

Third SS Daytona white dial

osamu · 26 June 2015, 04:29 PM

I too personally would go with an AP, especially if you already have a few Rolex. As far as JLC, my favorite is the meteorite dial master calendar, but might be out of your budget. I also love the geophysic but a little expensive for a time only watch.

Breguet Marine among these
