Merry Christmas! (My wife and I are bored)

Well my wife is the photographer, and we're bored! Soooo, this is what happens:



There is a point to this thread. Those are my 2 Rolex, however I still have a 3750.50 Moonwatch, that sees no wrist time now. I want to sell it soon.

Should I save up and try to find a pre-owned Pepsi, or add the cash and the DJ and upgrade to a DJII?

Thanks!

Great shot. Pictures like these inspire me to go back to my collection and put my Submariner on after wearing a different watch all day.

I've had a hard time letting it go. I turned down a pretty decent offer just a few weeks ago. Maybe I could just upgrade the DJ to the DJII? I would like a vintage GMT Pepsi though!

Thanks for the nice comments everyone!

Are you kidding why go from 3 to 2 particularly with 2 lovely pieces to be flipped for a DJII not on my watch. Great photo by the way.

I'm happy to give my two cents here as I have a very similar set of watches and was thinking along the same lines as you.

The speedy will always get wrist time and it's a true classic. The manual wind Lemania movement is a legend and it's nice to have a Chrono.

That Datejust it a bit boring for me, I'd sell/trade that.

So keep the speedy on a leather strap, keep the sub .Sell the Datejust and add a GMT with some colour. Datejust IIs are getting more common in the used market, add one of those later on.

Merry Christmas and great shots!

When you guys get bored again, reverse the colors vice versa.

Wait, who's bored now?
