Daytona SS White is foursome leader!

I have been very fortunate to have had the pleasure of rotating the following four timepieces:

-Daytona SS ceramic white (D500W)
-GMT Master II (BLNR)
-Daytona SS ceramic black (D500B)
-SeaDweller 4000 (SD4K)

I can certainly say that the D500W and SD4K gets the most daily wrist time. Both are perfect for work or gym or life!

My BLNR is my go to travel watch. I typically travel once a month for work, so it is perfect for that.

D500B so far has been pulled out for dinner out on the town in NYC or special occasions as it seems the dressiest to me

However without a doubt my favorite is my D500W. It's the alpha male and leader of the pack. it doesn't hurt that I've covetted a Daytona in white since the late nineties and I finally got one early this year!!

Nice family of four there. I have to agree with you on your comments. I’m just missing the black dial SS Daytona C. White dial is amazing. Enjoy the rotation.

I love my black c Daytona. Very sporty and much easier to read than the white imo.

Very nice! I’d love a similar collection, but would swap out the Sea Dweller for my Sub-Date given I prefer the smaller size...
