Daytona + Sub41 vs 1815 chrono
Hi,
I am considering of getting a new watch/watches. I have owned a few basic sport Rolexes and a Speedmaster in the past. Now I only have a pepsi gmt as my only watch. I am thinking about getting a ceramic Daytona (Black) now and new Sub 124060 early next year. However, the recent prices increases make me think whether I should get a Lange 1815 chrono white gold, black dial, instead of two "in-demand" Rolexes. I am aware that this is Rolex forum but I do believe you will be able to give me valuable insights. I include a brief background because most people that own 1815 chrono are the people who have more than two watches and they wear it in rotation. If I pull the trigger on Lange, that will be it. I will have only two watches: a pepsi and 1815. I will not have another watch in the near future. I want/like Rolexes because they are pretty robust for a mechanical watch (with versatility). I dress casually most of the time. I wear formal for only special occasions. I come up with somewhat subjective pros and cons list for each choice: Daytona and Sub Pros -I get two watches -I do not need to "baby" white gold for damage -two of the most iconic and timeless watches and it is hard to "go wrong" -I prefer the dial side of Daytona over 1815 a bit more. -easier to sell if I ever need emergency money (I hope I don't have to) Cons -I may get unwanted attention -I have to overpay for premium(I can accept it but it is still a fact) 1815 Chrono Pros -It is more prestigious. Haute horology (or at least an entry to HH) -beautiful movement -It can be my dress watch -Pure aesthetic -flies under the radar Cons -I might baby it too much because of the materials (white gold and leather) -I like the movement side more than the dial -since its so pure and I won't have the capacity to rotate, I am worried that I might get bored in a few years or so These are what I can think of for now. I would like to know your opinions. If you own any of these watches, it would also be great to hear your insight. Thank you guys, in advance. |
