It's worth mentioning that at the time that I did this, stainless watches were on the downward trend still, so I thought I would cash in while the "getting was still good." I thought that the pikachu wouldn't go down by too much more, and honestly, it's still around the max expected "loss" for me. In real dollars spent, I'm still slightly ahead vs the retail on the watch, which it's still above. I personally would rather have my pikachu than an 116520, though. If you could trade your 116520 for a 116500 or 126500, I'd do that. |

Enjoy yours man. The older reference is so much nicer by far and still holding strong resale value. No regrets man. |

My SS Ceramic Daytona is a must-have in my collection! I would add to it but never be without it, and I prefer it to most PM Daytonas.

Trading SS Daytona to PM is not an upwards trade. The SS is the classic icon

I would keep your SS Daytona, it's a classic. I don't think the JM Daytona was ever a classic, it just got hyped up beyond belief. Before JM mentioned it no one wanted one. Down the road I don't think it will be an icon like the SS Daytona.

Neil, the new SS are larger at a smidge under 40mm, the same as (now) all the PMs.

Having one daytona would you keep the ss panda or trade it up to a yg and add some $?
YG. Is it more.iconic to have a ss or a pm ? SS. Not a value standpoint but rather as a collector's point of view SS. |

I never lusted after the steel daytonas. I love the PM ones and am tempted to pickup the yellow gold white dial 126508. Currently I have a Oysterflex in rose that my wife got me. Its so comfortable. But if I could only have 1 daytona I would take the full PM one over my oysterflex just because I love gold and I already have a few SS rolex watches.

From a collector's perspective, I'd keep the SS. Add a PM piece but keep the SS. Also, I get the feeling Rolex might try to emulate what Patek is doing, i.e. less steel and more gold, thus potentially making future SS Daytonas more difficult to get, if that wasn't hard enough. Gold will be relatively easier to get if that's what they start to churn out.

This was my 116528. It’s so awesome to hold and feel compared to the steel. I miss it dearly

As an owner of multiple Daytonas in SS and PM, I would keep a PM over SS all day long.
I wear my PM Daytonas over my SS Daytona at a rate of about 5 to 1. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I have the YG PN but I'd rather have the SS Panda.
