I am sure most of us are thinking the same. You are right when you say that the hype is on the steel ceramic. And yes, I would consider the gold versions as well, if I like them.
I don't see them as second choice. I see them as a different expression of the Daytona. Because of the unusual color of their dial, the combinations with the case, the different bezel ( metal + font ).
Of course I would buy one of them, if I was interested in a golden Daytona. And, surprisingly, the yellow gold green dial, for its extreme coolness.
Ciao, Amico.

Do you agree with John Mayer's statement that
the two most sought after Daytona in precious metal in the future will be the yellow gold with green dial and the white gold with blue dial? He was so sure during his 2nd Hodinkee Talking Watches... His reasoning the hype now is only on the ceramic ones a...
It depends of so many factors ( prod number, years of production, demand ) that at the end, the only good question is: " Do I love it at the point to want to get it "?
These two are very cool looking. Both of them. The yellow gold green dial has a cool factor, the white gold blue dial is superb. AND at the price the steel ceramic goes, it is not stupid to consider them as a serious and interesting alternative. The quest...
Daytona
I am not really a fan of the whole Daytona range. However, I think that particular configuration of the Daytona (Yellow Gold with a Green Dial) is an absolute hit! I would buy that watch, and enjoy owning it. No doubt!
Dear Amanico, only ant to clarify a little bit my question...
.... my focus was on JM statement, but when I asked the view of the Purists, on top of the potential future value, I was more interested in understanding if you like these two versions more or less than the other precious metal Daytona iterato Only for th...

It is weird to speculate like an investment/ investor
I think a better statement from a collector would to suggest these two watches as being under the radar for those who are not hung up on the hype. If you like the Daytona line up try these two. Nothing wrong with speculating but i prefer to hear about the...
I tried to qualify better my question
The sense was exactly what you wrote, do you like these two versions or not? JM is a respected musician and watch collector, I don’t think what he said was related to the extra bucks he could make in the future reselling these two Daytona... I’m non a spe...
I think both are really interesting iterations of the modern Daytona. The YG possibly the most interesting but for me the one I'd be less likely to wear.
I have actually been looking at the WG Daytona for a while now, both the blue dial and the steel/black dial. The latter being perhaps the more pedestrian or subtle choice.
I think the Alien look will come back, but seriously who am I to say ;) and who is JM? Has he already made lots of money predicting such things? Or
has he bought a stock of these watches and wants to unload them at a later time as is the case with H's many articles. Do we also remember when no one wanted a Daytona? Things are unpredictable in watch collecting ...
Hi mate, the Aliens will come only to buy these two Daytona, JM knows everything in advance... 😂😂😂
I’m joking At the end as already answered to other Purists I was only asking if you like these two iterations of the Daytona, and as well if the hype on the ceramic ones could be distracting vs other interesting Daytona... and obviously if you/we like or ...
No worries, the question that you posed reads whether we agree with JM's comments to which I answered, alien all the way :D hehe The best way to practice English is by using it
so don't worry about that plus the forum is accepting and helps a lot with it In regards to liking the two pieces, they are wonderful, the green dial is much more gorgeous than in the photos and probably my favorite out of the two. I am biased and prefer ...
I think he was talking his book a little..
I can't blame him though. They are both good color combinations.
Hype and the constant focus on investment is very detrimental to this wonderful hobby of ours.
IMHO; we also have to be careful about the comments and statements of celebrities and influencers. We don’t always know their motives and what they base their opinions/predictions on. Oh, and I don’t care much for Daytona’s😁😁😁 Just my 0.02
I like John Mayer, and his enthusiasm for watches
I enjoyed watching this video but, honestly, I don't give two hoots what the guy thinks is cool or will appreciate in value. I also do not buy watches for their "investment" value, but because of the joy they bring to me. That being said, I really do like...
I saw the video myself ...
And as most others I like JM for his passion of watch collecting, but his prediction is totally unpredictable. No one knows what the next hype will be and how long the Daytona will be held as high as it is now. Also don’t forget JM also has a stainless st...
Yes , to me that’s “The Daytona “.
And I feel that when discontinued, it will skyrocket to the moon ... But I would buy it for its special beauty.
i prefer to buy them bcos i like them & they equally look good without speculating about future value...
if i take 's hypothesis it guess it would be the least sold Cellini or Explorer II that will be in great demand in the future personally i like both the green & blue dial but i know i would not buy a precious metal daytona. Best, mahesh.,
I tend to agree with Mr. Mayer statements in the video...
... considering the context he explains around these two special gold Daytonas. He feels that the hype around the ceramic steel versions launched that same year eclypsed the fact that these unique dial colors were offered in same occasion. I feel very few...
Thanks mate, I think you got exactly the point of this post...
... which probably I was not able to explain properly in my initial post And anyone could agree or not with what JM said, again it’s not I can make more money reselling it in a bunch of years, but their beauty has been obscured by the ceramic dial hype, t...
Ciao Luca!! Thank you so much for your kind comments my friend!
yes, of course I understood your point. I feel nobody can predict if this watch will increase in value in the future or not. But something is sure: it has a beautiful and stunning dial which makes for an striking presence on the wrist glowing against its ...
That is one stunning watch!
It looks great on your wrist----never considered it before,but very definitely great combination of colours. Enjoy your watch best henry
Thank you for your kind words Henry!
Glad you liked the watch snd my shots! I will surely enjoy it so much. Thank you! Abel
For better or worse when Hodinkee/Mayer promotes a watch the interest (and price) explodes
This is what happened with the Rolex 6263 after the first Mayer video. At the time it was a relatively affordable vintage Rolex, and within a few months it became out of sight. I suspect the same will happen with the gold (green and blue dialed) Daytonas(...
Just do it
I Don't like the green Daytona ( the same green colour dial day date ) , too classic, better than the green sport dial of the yellow gold Gmt, Much more professional. I believe a lot in the future of these metals, much like the most demanded steel models....
From my “friends” experience
As weed becomes legalized for recreational use across America it will absolutely become a sought after watch. Every dealers collection has a yellow gold watch with a green face.
