Hi everyone,
I own:
Blue face sub with the silver / gold braclet
Blue face sub solid gold
Deep Sea Dweller..
Explorer Ii (the new one)

So.. now I have an itch for yet one more watch. Im thinking Day/Date 41mm in either solid or rose gold. But Im almost afraid two solid gold watches is a bit "much". I love my watches and wont do any trade in. Rose gold is nice too.. have yet to see one in person. Platinum is 100% out of the question as I wont shell out almost 60k on a watch. Just started to wonder if 2 solid gold watches is overkill..

It's your call, if you can swing it go for it. But perhaps pre-loved, if you change your mind, you won't take a big hit on it.

Israguard · 12 September 2012, 05:07 AM

Im a bit anal about watches and cars, and bikes and....lol

Its got to be new.. Man I wish there was a platinum sale lol

mjclark32 · 12 September 2012, 05:07 AM

First off I'd love to see your collection
Secondly, the ddii is an unreal piece. Ultimately it's your decision and you need to be comfortable making it. My advice though.... Get it!

TSW · 12 September 2012, 05:09 AM

Go for it!!

IMHO 2 gold watches isn't that bad. Also if you really want another gold or platinum watch shop around because you can get a HUGE discount.

horseco · 12 September 2012, 05:10 AM

You can never have too much of a good thing...

QueueCumber · 12 September 2012, 05:20 AM

OG. Over Gold.

sig-x · 12 September 2012, 05:56 AM

Don't be silly gold is good.

Dr.A · 12 September 2012, 06:15 AM

no such thing as too much gold. Go for it!

Costco in Houston has a brand new Platinum DD for 35K. If you need a ride I live right by the airport in Houston and can pick you up when you get off the plane.

OP, there is no such thing as overkill when one is a WIS

On a serious note, if you want another gold watch and can afford it, why not?

Tuna · 12 September 2012, 07:12 AM

personally i don't like Gold watches is a bit "much" for me. I guess it's a matter of taste.

Where I come from there are mostly pizza bakers and criminals wearing gold watches.

Don't get me wrong i like pizza

To the OP: The RG DD I had was different enough from a YG piece that it didn't scream too much. So I'd say that's a good route.
If you're still ambivalent, then another Two Tone model (YG/SS or RG/SS) might be an alternative.

Sam Philip · 12 September 2012, 07:01 AM

There is nothing called too much gold so go for it

gregdolley · 12 September 2012, 07:01 AM

You can never have too much gold! Go for it!!

Otto · 12 September 2012, 07:29 AM

Not overkill!

The DDII is a great watch.

Trading in my YG DD White Roman dial as part of a watch trade up was such a mistake on my part. I miss my YG presidential....

superdog · 12 September 2012, 07:46 AM

Love the dd2. Love

Joelmor · 12 September 2012, 07:50 AM

Too much gold? Huh?

I have a DDII in YG that I love. Now I am seriously thinking of adding a YG Daytona.

It's gorgeous. Do it.

Joel

JetRanger · 12 September 2012, 07:54 AM

Get yourself a Sub in 18 Kt White gold w/ Blue dial. You won't regret it, and it looks sooooo different than the YG Sub.

nauticajoe · 12 September 2012, 08:29 AM

Personal preference IMO.

caryyee · 12 September 2012, 08:30 AM

Too much gold??? Huh? There's no such thing as too much!

Wearing gold makes me feel I'm wearing something 'special', it gives me a very different feeling from wearing a SS model. Go on, you know you want to!! :-)

kilyung · 12 September 2012, 08:38 AM

That's like saying, too much sex.

Israguard · 12 September 2012, 09:03 AM

Here is my humble collection. I took it with the iphone just now in "so so" lighting. I'm jealous of how much nicer all of your pictures are.

I love some of the replies I got... made me crack up.

I am amazed that a platinum will go for 35k in the States.. Something is off.

I checked with a retailer in Zurich I know.. and RG or YG sell in the 30-31k range. So a new 41mm platinum can't be that low..

Mike, the price tag on the WG Sub seems to say $263,600???? Is that right?? Or is that meant to be $26,360 instead?? If it's $26,360, that's a pretty good price at an AD!
