Which one should I go for the next time?

Hey guys..

I am already planning my next purchase. But I can only get one more in 2010.

So what to chose?

SD, explII white, GMTII pepsi, Daytona ss white dial, 14060 sub nd or the new subc ss?

I have a LV16610 and a TT blue 16613.



What do you think and why?

Thanks

Just to mix things up a bit, how about a white dialled DJ or DJII? One would make a nice contrast to your Subs

You have enough Subs--- go for the Daytona SS white or Expl II White

Great suggestion on the DJ. I would only add to get it on a Jubilee to make it different.

Hej Dave!

Vi har precis samma smak vi 2! Jag funderar nästan på samma klockor som du.

Jag tycker helt klart du ska köpa en Daytona SS! Helt underbar klocka!

Ska du köpa den via forumet eller i Danmark?

Martin
Thanks

I agree with the posts above, mix it up with a Dj. However, should you insist on your short list, I would get a Daytona since you have two (2) subs already.

Good luck

I personally would either go for a DJII for more formal occasions, or the Daytona ss white dial.

Polar Explorer II would be a good choice.

Go for a Daytona!!!! Please note opinion is bias.

I am actually thinking of buying a sub or a ym in gold..... Just a thought as this can change at any time without notice.

Go with the Pepsi!

Your collection will be full of sport watch icons IMHO!

Both of these give you a really nice variety. When faced with a similar decision, I went with a Polar White EXPII and haven't regretted it for one second.

I think the GMT Pepsi, Daytona, or Sub-C would all compliment your collection nicely. If it were me making the decision i'd go with... hmm... The Sub C. Or maybe the Daytona

Either way, congrats on whatever you choose!

Thanks alot guys for all the great input!

I guess you are right - Got two subs so time for something else.

SD perhaps is too close to the sub. A pepsi is an icon. A watch with a white dial would be a great suplement. Hmmm I think I will go for a Daytona SS - unless I really get a great offer on a GMT II.

Too many alternatives LoL

V Serial Sub No Date. I have one in the for sale section that is only 6 months old. Hint, hint.
