30th this year - What watch to get out of these two?
Discussion
As the title says really...
Come December time, I will be officially 30 years old.
Thought I'd mark the milestone by buying myself a watch. I have managed to narrow it down to two watches but cannot get it down to one. Both have their pros/cons and both are roughly in the same ballpark in terms of price. Watches in question are:
IWC Portuguese IW500107 SS with white face/blue strap
Rolex Daytona SS with white dial
Only reason I'm asking now is that if I decide on the Rolex, I'd have to put down a deposit pretty quickly to be in with a chance of getting one in time. My AD reckons he can get one within 8 months. I think it may take longer...
Just wanted to know what would be 'the one' to get out of them two. Any advice/opinions would be helpful. Thanks

Hmmm
Would rather use a Rolex AD for the Daytona, but that does involve a long wait. Don't want to pay over RRP for it, thats for sure.
Think I'll go with the IWC, and chuck on a deposit for a Daytona at some point later. Whenever it turns up, it turns up. I can wait.
I wouldn't wear either as a daily, as it would just get finished at work. This will be an evening/weekend watch, worn at most two or three times a week.
