If DD II with roman concentric dial is your all time grail then go for it instead of getting 2 other WG pieces. In your sub conscious mind you will not be satisfied until you get your all time grail no matter how beautiful the other 2 pieces are.

In addition Tom Bolt aka Watch Guru once said it was better to get one expensive piece rather than having 2-3 less expensive pieces.

Im beginning to think the bracelet wont happen but unlike you one day I can solve this with a choc RG DD2.

Sohail, I like gold most in YG and RG and so as you have gold covered you should get the platinum, no point settling for 2 sub-grails just get the holiest of holies.

And platinum is harder to work with than gold.

116619 Wg Smurft & 116509 Wg Daytona Panda.

Buy one or buy 2 Wg Rolex watches. I like all three and will be keeping them long term. Value and pricing aside what would you do in this situation keeping in mind which one will me more timless.
Since I prefer the sport line anyway would go with the sub and daytona

How about the smurf and a WG panda on the strap? That will leave some extra cash to put towards the platty fund or even pick up a SS with the change.

To me that's and easy choice the day-date 2 is amazing and truly unique. I tried it on at the Wynn a few days ago and it's wonderful in person. I am actually considering buying one in the future. The new Daytona would be my second choice.

If it was me, I would go for the two WG but I don't have the collection you do
I have a YG Daytona and am looking into a WG Meteorite some day...

You're comparing Mercedes Benz S class with Cadillac Escalade pickup truck version and Porsche 911 turbo! You think this is a sane comparison?!

Anyway, I'd say go with the DDII.
