Very nice! Having both the white and black dial Daytona, which of the two get’s the most wrist time and do you like the most? Is there a difference in readability between the two?

thnx

i'm done with Rolex and moving onto to other brands ;-)

Daytona (white) 40% - my favorite watch!
BLRO - 30%
Daytona (black), SD4K, and BLNR - 30%

Readability on Daytona (white) is better than Daytona (black), but I have no problems with either in terms of readability.

I would assume discussing what 5 Rolex models would you hypothetically buy would cause not so many WOWs as it has. This is Rolex forum guys. Plus I dont consider money spent on Rolex been actually `spent`. I just transfer value from cash to my toys which are not necessary but it brings me joy and hold its value quite well.

I had a bunch but now I can't see any reason to have five. Really, why would I want that many?

I already have Kermit, and 16610LN. Need a 116610LV hulk. Datejust 36 from 2019 Basel World. And a gold or rose gold watch with black dial somehow.
