My collection just got smaller and bigger

Hello,
So, I just trade 2 watches, that I really loved, a Panerai 359 and a Zenith Central Second... and some extra, for a Rolex Daytona 116520 random serial 2016. Made the deal with a friend of mine, that is a watch dealer.
Luv my new Daytona, especially the polished clasp and mirror finished middle links, though I feel it wears a little smaller than my ceramic Sub and not quite as readable. Hope I get used to it really fast.
Little sad cuz I had to let go the Pam and Zenith.
Some pics of the old and new.

Daytona is a beautiful watch but it does wear on the small side. Give it a week and I am sure you will get use to its size. Pam is a great diving watch and not sure I would give up my Pam but you can always pick up another one. This hobby is a sickness. Enjoy.

Great addition! I am getting much worse about letting ones go for the next one because I always want the ones I let go again and it always cost more to get them back than what I got out of them.

Was a difficult choice to trade the pam but in the end it was down to the budget. Already thinking of getting another Pam, maybe Radiomir- manual... but for sure not in the next few month. Cheers.

Yup, true true and true. One might say this is one of Murphy's laws .

Love the Daytona, congrats! It's not a sickness...it's a complete and utter addiction (that is also just so fun).

Huge congrats!!!!

I'm desperately trying to locate one in the UK but they seem to be going for truly crazy prices at the moment. Would you mind telling me how much you paid (via PM if that helps)? Be nice to see how the market is over there compared to here.
