Rolex 116515 as a daily wearer?

Evening Rolex Forum!

A bit of background on my current collection which consists of an Audemars Piguet 15300OR (special occasion watch), Rolex Daytona 116520 black dial (daily wearer) and a Rolex Oysterdate.

I'm thinking of trading up the SS Daytona for a 116515.

What are your views on this as a daily wearer?

I'm with Krom. Keep the SS Daytona as your daily. 116515 is a bit too ostentatious for my taste, especially as a daily wearer.

But, your money, your rules!

It can be done but maybe a rubber strap is needed for hotter times.

Keep the SS and add the 116515 for the days you don't want gold.

What dial?
Daily wear is perfect.
Rubber b strap is a must.

Don't let others dissuade you from a hot watch.

The black dial with black leather strap is striking... I would do it!
