I’m thinking of treating myself to a watch to celebrate some recent successes, and have narrowed it down to either a Datejust 36 with the blue sunburst dial and stick markers or a white dial Daytona. A friend of mine, who is something of a whale, can get me the Daytona at list with no issues. However, I’m concerned the Daytona makes too much of a statement and will bring unwanted attention in a way the DJ would not. What are your thoughts?

Daytona at list and it's not even close. You can get a DJ any day if you decide you want one in the future.

Even if they’re a status symbol and you feel bad you could sell that, get your money back for the watch, get the sunburst blue dial on the grey for over asking

You’re overthinking it, just get the Daytona.

Get both and sell me the daytona at list and everyone is happy :)

Get the Daytona, if you don't like it sell it to recoup expenses and use the profit to get the DJ for basically free

Actually I might run this by your friend first, AD might not like this and you don't want to negatively affect your friend's relationship

Nice, I was in this same situation last year but with the black dial Daytona and ended up purchasing it. Haven’t regretted it since!

I’ll take the contrarian view to some posters here. I personally loathe chronographs. They’re too busy, and unless you’re into car racing, Why? I like my GMT II because I travel. My Sea Dweller because I dive, and my next will be a YachtMaster because I sail. I’d go with the DateJust—it is a great everyday watch that isn’t so busy—unless you like to race cars in your spare time. I know people who do! And they have them.

For client meetings I wear either my GMT II (straight up black) or a Cartier tank.

So, why Daytona then?

Get the skydweller!

I’d go for a Pepsi or Batman, if I could have my pick of any modern Rolex. Like some on this thread, I’m not a Daytona fan. I borrowed one from a friend and just didn’t bond with it…I love my DJ41 though… you do you OP!

Daytona 1000000%

What about my concerns over looking too flashy?

No

Hey y’all. Would love to get some thoughts from people about buying vintage watches and what resources you might use to evaluate a piece before you buy.

I’ve only ever bought new watches but am in love with some vintage pieces. I’m not really sure where to start with resources to do my due diligence and ensure I’m not massively over paying or buying something that no watch maker today could really service.

Would love some thoughts from the bowl on any vintage buys y’all have done.

Thanks!
