SS Daytona trade up...
I’ve had my 116500LN white dial Daytona for a few years now. I can count on one hand how many times I’ve worn it. I am thinking of swapping it out with the WG, blue dial Daytona or even a YG GMT, green dial. Decisions, decisions...

The 116509 blue is a great reference. I don't think you can go wrong here.

I’ve thought about doing the same but haven’t had the balls to pull the trigger yet. Doesn’t help that the PM prices keep climbing. Ideal scenario would be an add but if you aren’t wearing it and want to trade up I’d say go for it.

What if you don't buy a Daytona and go for another reference?

I think cause I just like the weight of gold compared to the SS on my wrist.

That’s a solid lineup. Maybe you should go big with the platinum 116506

I’d first examine why you aren’t wearing the 500. Maybe Daytona’s just aren’t your thing. That said, I wouldn’t buy the WG till I resolved this.
EDIT: I see you’re into PM. |

Yes I have ss daytona yg daytona, yg oyster flex and platinum. Platinum is 55% heavier than gold for the daytona model. In honestly ss is best for wear daily because light but I think I like yg look the best when it is clean.

I would probably for the gmt. That is a very collectable watch. I suspect that they will be at 100k+ one day

Make sure you try on the blue WG Daytona before making the change. It looks nice in photos, but I was underwhelmed in person. The blue is a little dull, IMHO.

Even thought about getting into an AP 26331st. Never had an AP before.

Once you go Gold or Platinum, Steel feels flimsy regardless of hype.

If money is no problem, I would rather keep SS Daytona (iconic) and add PM.

I would consider the gmt. If you don’t wear your Daytona now, a new variation may not make a large difference.

Given your line up, I think the 509 blue is a solid choice.
