Should I flip my meteorite Daytona for ?

The daytona was my grail until I bought and it has the same silver and red pattern as my yachtmaster which is my all time favorite rolex. Should I keep the daytona or flip for the pres below?

I personally would keep the Daytona. But if the day date is what you are after, why not go for it?

I'd keep the Daytona and turn the YM into the blue dial YM. Obviously not what you're asking though. To answer your dilemma I'd keep the Daytona over that DD.

How about selling the YM, saving a bit more and getting a DD with no diamonds.

so you like the YM more?

if you are not happy then you should flip, imo the DD and Daytona are both great watches personally i would keep the daytona but still love that DD.. not sure why diamonds get so much hate on this forum

Should I flip my meteorite Daytona for ?

The Daytona is so different than just another diamond dialed & bezeled President that I'd suggest flipping the YM Pt dial model for your Presidential ambitions

afterall you've got two YMs...

Are you a man or a woman? I mean no offense by this. If you are a man, I would NOT buy that diamond watch. It looks very feminine to me. If you are a woman, then diamonds will look great on you.

No no no - you definitely have a "type" - but the diamond one is very feminine

I like the texture and colors of the Daytona. Other than the bezel, the DD is too monochrome and flat for me (boring).

The steel crown scratching the WG of the Daytona in the second pic is making me cringe a little. I would flip the President 'cause the diamonds+light-colored dial are looking a little feminine.

If the DD isn't too small for your taste, swap out the Met. It was my grail too, it served its purpose, and then I moved on. The SS/Pt YM is also my Fav Rolex, I traded that up to get the same Met Daytona.
