2 or 1

I would like peoples opinion on this. Watches are being purchased from a gray dealer. Would people pick up one white gold sub 126619 or a stainless Batman and 2 tone root beer? Submariner would be more price wise. I just would like peoples opinion 2 watches or 1? They will not be worn daily. Thanks in Advance.

Two but as above, not the same style.

I have a DJII and the SD4k (Wow! - What a piece!) - and would love to add a GMT someday.

I'd personally pick 2 SS or SS + TT rather than 1 FG. I don't care much for a full gold sports watch, a dress watch is a different story.

Depends if you’re a one hit wonder or a multi chart topping artist.

I'd go WG sub in this case. Almost no premium paid above list vs paying lots of premium for both.

Blue feels comparable to BLNR blue, so it's very similar stylistically.

This is what it comes down to.
If you have no watch currently, I’d just go all in on the full gold Sub and wear it everyday.

I’d pick the gold Sub.
Wearing PM ruined the SS watches experience. Lucky me, no desire to participate in the hunt for the hot models

2 because I'm greedy, but I won't get 2 GMTs as others have mentioned. 1 GMT , 1 SUB in this case.

If I could only have 2 watches it would be a GMT as a daily, and a Sub/SD as secondary.
