I got a call today from my AD and mentioned they received a brand new 116503BKDO - two tone black dial Daytona with Diamond markers (pic attached). It was one of the watches listed on ‘My List’, but not one I was necessarily dying to get my hands on (to be fair, I listed 5 in thoughts they’ll call me in 2028), and definitely not one I thought would come in stock a few months new from factory after the request.
My internal conversation goes like this. I currently have a:
- 2019 Submariner 116613LN (Two Tone w/ Black Dial)
- 2020 Explorer II - White Dial
- 2022 Oyster Perpetual 124300 (Green Dial)
- 1976 Day Date with Matte Black ‘Pie Pan’ Dial
I don’t know if having two, two tone watches is the move (understand the Sub is more of a daily driver than one with diamonds on the dial). I’m debating on trading in the Sub and EXPII (42mm is a bit big on my 7.5” wrist).
I just wanted to see what everyone thought about potentially trading in a couple for/towards the Daytona, or just keep the collection growing.
Thanks!
