Day-to-day watch: Big Pilot or SS Daytona?

I'm trying to pick up a new piece for daily wear to enjoy, none of my pieces sit in storage, I'm torn between a stainless daytona or a black big pilot. Any advice is appreciated...

My collection so far is mainly iwc, (portuguese chrono, 7 day, portofino 25th ed.), so I'm torn whether to keep going down that route or try something new..

Since you already have 3 IWC watches, i'd say go for the daytona SS with black face. Not only it looks great, but it is a good investment as well. I live in DC too, who is your local AD?

Daytona for sure, maybe better resale value as well from what I know.

BP. The Daytona, while being a stunning piece, is just too small.

I am wearing one as I type this. I don't quite know how to put this, but the Deepsea is an awful, unproportional piece of crap.

That's like going "Oh, have you thought about the 2001 E-class?" when someone asks whether a 2010 LS600h is more rust proof than a Ferrari Enzo.

These seem to be common phrases when describing things attached to Jox.

No brainer, IWC Big Pilot, classy as hell and demands attention

I can't stand IWC - the only one i'd go for with a gun to my head would be the 'Top-Gun.'

Go for the Rolex if you must...
