Congrats!! Looks amazing.

Personally, I would have kept the Snoopy and BLRO… and sold the Black Daytona.

I’m not mad at this. I think many think a Daytona and a Pepsi would make a better duo but hard to criticize having two SS Daytonas.

At least you got rid of that cartoon character.

I traded my Daytona for a Pepsi and some cash. I see groups of twenty somethings wearing Pandas from time… so many fakes of those due to hype. Flooding the market of Pepsis?! ADs are getting 0 allocation right now and the price is still way up due it still being very hard to get from an AD. It’s harder than a Daytona. Doubt there will be much of a drop anytime soon, probably not ever.

Interesting to see what happens in the future for the Pepsi. My one AD told me Rolex have improved the bezel making process and will see more in the future but obviously no one knows until it happens.

This reads like a summary sentence followed by justifications.

Everyone has their favourites, but anyone suggesting that the BLRO’s are going to quickly drop in popularity/price are dreaming. Even if Rolex has “mastered” the ceramic bezel colours, flooding the market is not in their DNA . A very orchestrated and controlled unveiling MAY happen, but don’t expect prices to drop substantially on any model.
Just IMHO

One dude made a comment (not me, not OP) and the thread highjacking about pricing and availability began.

I would not have given up those two for a watch I already had, in a different color, but If you are happy, that’s all that matters.

You do realize the SS Daytona has even more hype than the watches you traded. And now you have two.

All of his watches are "hyped." So, I believe the point being made by OP is that after having all of these hyped watches over time, the Daytona is worth the hype and the others fell short in his opinion.

I too, have a black 116500LN and even though it is a hyped watch, it is spectacular having owned it for 4 years. It has the wearability of a black Sub with an extra helping of something "special" that a black Sub cannot provide. There is a reason why the Daytona is "The Daytona."

I think your title should have been “Consolidated Pepsi and Snoopy into Daytona to match my other Daytona”

Commented on a similar topic in another thread. I personally don't think there is a comparison between a GMT and a Daytona, especially the white dial.

You have to know what you want to do. At first thought maybe a very special Patek.

The for 2 ok.

Maybe m this pair is grail combo, at least a vet clear Point of View in your part. And 2 ying/yeng Daytona set then be it.

Enjoy your decision!
If I were to have to eliminate several from collection, to stay with my prefer 2, tooth.

Do you have their watches or just the Daytona sisters?

IMHO, two of the same watch would get very boring very quickly. Seeing as you mention hype a lot, that seems to be the focus of this collection.
