...what should I buy, or to put it another way, what's the best deal?

Milgauss GV for about $6300, or;

18k yellow gold Daytona with leather strap and panda dial for 17.5K, or;

Old submariner with scrambled serial for $6000, or;

All of the the above?

Also, what will the new price be for the Daytona with leather strap?

Speed · 9 May 2011, 05:40 AM

Which watch do you like best? That should be your criteria, no?

dannyt · 9 May 2011, 05:40 AM

The Milguass seems like a good deal, as does the Daytona if you have that extra cash lying around. I wouldnt get the sub if I were you, you could get a much better deal here or on ebay regardless of the price increase. Just my .02

rhi · 9 May 2011, 05:40 AM

Old Sub every time

Dr. Robert · 9 May 2011, 05:42 AM

Another vote for the old sub.

If you plan to get them all and can afford it, get all of them. Most people can't do that, so get the one now that will save you the most.

I always treat the next purchase like it is the last watch I will ever get. I always get the one I like the most.

Milgauss GV.

ally · 9 May 2011, 05:44 AM

I would get the old Sub with random #.

Or are thry on here for a lot less

boogiebot · 9 May 2011, 05:45 AM

wow hard call. if you have the dough is all an option? hahaha you can never have too many rolex's

BOA · 9 May 2011, 06:27 AM

Thanks for the feedback. I guess it's a three-way tie.

I like them all and am a bit torn, obviously, and I was hoping that some of you would see one of these (or more) as being such a great value that I'd be a fool to pass it up, which might help me break the deadlock. I gather these prices are all in the ballpark, nothing to write home about.

Does anyone know what the price will be for an 18k Daytona with leather strap after the price increase? For some reason, I think that one is really going to be substantially higher, but I didn't see it listed in the new price list.

esm · 9 May 2011, 07:03 AM

If the above mentioned Daytona is 17.5k retail, then a 8% increase will be......

BOA · 9 May 2011, 07:04 AM

Actually, that's the discounted price, but your point is well taken.

Roja · 9 May 2011, 07:07 AM

8% is going to be more money when talking of a 18k Daytona. I think I see where you're going with this. I also think that you have it in your mind to buy the Daytona but are hoping to get dissuaded.

Maybe I should stop the psychology and tell you that I love my GV and that's what I got. But, honestly, I couldn't even imagine having the dough to buy a watch that's 17k, investment or good deal or not.

BOA · 9 May 2011, 10:48 AM

What gets me is that a number of years ago I bought an 18k Breitling with gold bracelet for less than half that, and I could hardly imagine paying that much for just the watch. But given that was already a good discount and the going price is going up, I thought maybe everyone would tell me the Daytona was a screaming deal.

Guess I'll go with the Milguass as I already have an old TT Blue Sub, a Sea Dweller, and the new green dial LV. That's where I was leaning anyway, but I thought I'd see what you guys thought about it. Thanks all.

CoopJr · 9 May 2011, 11:28 AM

Old sub...best value of the 3 IMO but best of luck with the Milly.

MortgageGuy · 9 May 2011, 11:45 AM

For me I would grab the GV

drockadam · 9 May 2011, 12:02 PM

Milgauss or the Submariner.

Johndoe · 9 May 2011, 12:14 PM

old sub unless you are forced to navigate through magnetic fields on your commute to work.

BOA · 9 May 2011, 12:24 PM

Are those of you voting for the sub saying it's the better value of the two at those prices?

Naples09 · 9 May 2011, 12:26 PM

I think the GV is the better value at 6300, but I would pick the watch I like the most out of the three. For me that would be the old sub.

watchf · 9 May 2011, 01:22 PM

Get the one you want most with the most savings.

Speed · 9 May 2011, 01:26 PM

OK....I'd take the GV. I don't have one.

I have an old Sub (Lug Holes!!!) and I care not for a Daytona on strap!

Whoomp there it is!
