Neither - too much about both that I dislike, and overpriced to boot.

Kermit

1William · 2 June 2020, 10:06 PM

I prefer the Daytona hands down. I have never been a Kermit fan and even less so since the prices blew up.

rockmastermike · 2 June 2020, 10:19 PM

I've owned both in the past and if I had to put my money where my mouth is today I would go Kermit and not think twice about it.

paltak · 2 June 2020, 10:24 PM

I have both and the Kermit gets 75% of the wrist time, 16710 gets 20%, 116520 gets 5%.

Kermit is my favorite daily wearer. .

SearChart · 2 June 2020, 10:31 PM

Kermit

bas0617 · 3 June 2020, 01:01 AM

I did not pay 116520 money either.

The OP said a 116520 not 16520.

Both cool,although old model black Daytona by 60/40.

Both, but my choice in Daytona was white.

JorgeCCW · 3 June 2020, 01:14 AM

Daytona, if I would get first a hulk than a kermit

Kermit is my favorite daily wearer. .

This too is also true, but still I would go with both.

pav333hp · 3 June 2020, 01:30 AM

Both are great choices, but if I were to pick one, I'd definitely start with the Daytona. But you never get just one Rolex... :)

Texex · 3 June 2020, 01:42 AM

I can't get past the bracelets on pre 6 digit watches. I love the look but don't like the feel when you put them on. Daytona for me.

The Kermit all day !!!!

Daytona is my best bet. I must say I can be very biased with my watch preferences

beshannon · 3 June 2020, 04:10 AM

I would rather have a chronograph over a green submariner

ttomczak · 3 June 2020, 04:26 AM

Kermit, oh wait lol...

campfire · 3 June 2020, 04:32 AM

Daytona for me.

Have fun either way.

ArtNouveau · 3 June 2020, 04:58 AM

I had both color 116520's back in the day and could have bought a Kermit during that period and didn't. I'd choose the Daytona again as the Kermit still doesn't sing to me.

DGB · 3 June 2020, 05:59 AM

Depending on the version of the Kermit, is it first year? 2003, 2004 mark 1, then yes over a Daytona.
If the Daytona is from 2015/16, last production with blue Chromalight, then I’d go for the Daytona.
If neither and in equal condition, I’d take the Daytona
Otherwise I’d pick the one with best condition.

Tough one truth be told as I currently have both and love them equally - both are great watches! If I had to choose between the two, then my white dial Daytona would get my vote, but only just

jb335 · 3 June 2020, 06:07 AM

Tough one. The Daytona is my favorite Rolex model but I feel a true Kermit is such a limited run, I would go for that. I voted kermit/

Feels more special. It's close though.

Can't speak to pricing though, haven't paid much attention to Kermit pricing.

I ended up keeping my 116520 Black Dial Random (2014) with Chromalight.

igibliss · 25 June 2020, 10:24 PM

116520

AlexFrank · 26 June 2020, 04:18 AM

I would go for the SS Dayton by all means. Its more versatile

jerryguo · 26 June 2020, 04:22 AM

Depending on the rest of your collection. But in most cases I would vote for LV.

nocaps · 26 June 2020, 04:23 AM

i think the kermit looks great in pictures, but on the 2 occasions
i've tried it on, i was underwhelmed. i suggest wearing it
before buying.

synrrgy · 26 June 2020, 04:24 AM

Frank McKay · 26 June 2020, 04:35 AM

Easy decision for me at least, Daytona.
