A few weeks ago a local dealer had white dial TT pre ceramic for 9.5k Euro. No papers but this is a reputable dealer. On the right leather this would tick a lot of boxes and put you in the Daytona club without shame. The timing for myself was not right but I still fail to see how the TT is worth so much less.

The 116519LN WG with the steel dial on Oysterflex would be my choice. From the looks of your collection, you need another watch without a bracelet to offset the others? :) Very impressive collection btw!

It’s funny / plenty of wg lovers per the poll yet wg tends to have worst resale, of which sadly I have a few datapoints. Let’s see if 116519 can really hold LT

I vote the 116519LN WG you have an impressive collection and I think the WG would be an excellent addition to the collection.

One fitted with a small digital clock in the bottom line the old Breitling models so I can tell the time.

Relax, just joking, but truly the least legible Rolex for me unfortunately.

LOL. But I get it re legibility. I can read a GMT or Sub in a fraction of a second. I like the Daytona, but it takes more effort to read the time.

I voted yellow gold.... but only because there was no rose gold option.

Rose gold for me!

I don't care which Daytona you add, but I will say you're gonna have one seriously awesome group of chronographs in that box!

Another vote for a 116520, white if you prefer the light dials.

If you can afford the extra, white Gold is the way to go:
