Advice for those who have gone SS to PM

But, I recently just got a promotion and thought this would be the time to trade some of the SS that I don't wear too often and go PM.

Once again, thanks for the response and things to think about in this decision.

Those are two great PM's. And, I'll daresay whichever one you end up with, you'll be pining for the other, so...it's only a matter of time.

Nothing says Rolex PM like a YG DD IMO

Sounds like a plan.

seriously mate... your money... your decision!

I for one have and enjoy everything from Steel, Two Tone to Full PM watches... they all have there place! If I had to choose only wear one watch... then it would be full steel... hope this helps!

IMHO, if you have watches in your collection that you wear out of obligation, they need to go. Whether you trade them for PM or a cardboard cut out doesn’t matter.

Having said that, given what I think I’m picking up here, I say go for it.


Ps. I vote for a Smurf in your future.

Very true... definitely things to think about.

Appreciate it! This definitely wouldn’t be a one and only, just part of a smaller collection.

I do like the WG!

Keep the sub for lowkey occasions or for travelling to places that you wouldnt be wearing a gold bar on your wrist, having said that, once you go PM, SS is like a toywatch on your wrist.

Congrats on your new DD! I'm so impressed by these, in any dial combo really.

Since you favor professional model watches I would go with a bluesy YG sub (or maybe a green face GMT).

Don't fall into the trap of getting a Day Date solely because it can be considered "dressier." A gold sub will do just fine with a suit if you like the appearance better. If you go PM buy something you will want to wear all the time and not become a safe queen.

Also be aware that once you go to a full gold watch it may change your opinion on some of your other watches.

YG Sub, RG GMT Rootbeer, Daydate RG olive green Dial, YG Daytona, WG Daytona blue Dial.... I love PM, something much more luxurious than SS.
