I'd sell the Batman or the Hulk. whichever you like just a little bit less or gets less wrist time.

Hang on to the 116520 Ceramic Daytona and you'll be in the rare club of those that own both the Black and White Dial Ceramic Daytona.

The 520’s not ceramic

Move whatever gets the least wrist time
Personally, it would be one Daytona in. One Daytona out.
Good luck!

Ever heard of the Batman curse in Hollywood movies ? The Caped Crusader needs to be the sacrificial lamb after Justice League & Batman vs Superman : Dawn of Justice bombed at the box office
Metaphorically speaking of course...

SD4K & 116520 are discontinued so I would advise u to keep them.

We dont know if green sub would be in production 5 years from now.

So sell the gmt blue black

I would sell the SD4K as it is easy to buy it again compare to the other 3 models. I think the black dial Daytona and the Ceramic white Daytona are the best matched pair. I like the black dial Daytona, but not a fan of Ceramic black dial.

Also, if it was me, I'd wait until your new Daytona is in hand before parting with anything. Just in case the AD is wrong and you're further delayed. Just my personal paranoia.

Isn't there any trust left in the world for AD's?

Ouch. Ok. My bad. Thank you.


In that case I'd still sell either the Hulk or the Batman as the non ceramic Daytona seems to be appreciating and it might be nice to have one non ceramic Rolex.

I would sell the Daytona. If they were mine the Daytona would get zero wrist time when his ceramic brother shows up and I don't really see the point of keeping a watch and never wearing it - unless it holds sentimental value.

Daytona C coming , but need to sell a watch..

Based on what you have and what is coming I would move the SD4K or the Daytona. If it was me I would part with the Daytona since the DayC is coming and I wouldn’t give it’s older brother any wrist time.

I would not touch the LVc or BLNR!
