My BEST duo: Daytona ceramic white + Pepsi BLRO!! What's yours?

I have recently contemplated that if I were to consolidate / trim my watch collection down to only 2 watches - which two would I end up with?

Based on my lifestyle / work, the two keepers would be my: Daytona 116500 ceramic (white) + GMT Master II 126710 BLRO Pepsi

For me, these two deliver the best 1-2 punch because:
-GMT for daily wear and travel needs
-Daytona for daily wear and dress ocassions
-both rugged and water proof
-both super comfortable
-both classics that will last a lifetime

What’s your best 1-2 punch, if you could only have two?







(PS if I needed a trio collection I would add my SD4K)

I’d say: “My superior taste in watches is represented by the Iconic Submariner in green, LVc and the First bi-color ceramic GMT, the future classic, BLNR
Both were bought for MRSP, of course”

From my current collection it would be SkyD and LVc. Once I get my hands on the DaytonaC then it'll be Daytona and SkyD.

My plan is to match your top two. I have the BLRO, but there are still five people ahead of me on the white Daytona wait list. In the meantime, my top two are the BLRO and an IWC 3777-24.

Lovely duo.
Trimmed my collection down to Patek 5164a and Daytona LN black.
Makes sense to have fewer watches you actually wear regularly.

I have found i have gravitated to these two watches on a daily basis... i wear others of course but these two get the most wrist time.

Patek 5164 travel time + Daytona LN black = sweet pairing

Okay, the 14060M and BLNR.

I can't believe I just threw my Pepsi under the bus but I'm really digging the BLNR. It could be the honeymoon phase so ask me again in 6 months :)

Ouch.....!

The Pepsi was rolled over! LOL

But you're still left with two awesome pieces: 14060M and BLNR

Amazing! Would love to know how you find the black dial SkyDweller as your daily. I hope to follow suit in the next couple of months!
