I am officially crazy!

Hi guys,

I have been seriously thinking of adding a PT daytona to my current WG and YG daytona. Do you guys think I should do it? My second choice right now would be an AP ROO ROSE GOLD.

I think that after a few weeks you will look at all three identical models and may ask yourself "goodness what have I done". I'm a huge fan of Rolex.. But mix it up a bit?. A different model?. If you're willing to spend on a PT , then frankly you can have almost any Rolex model or even something from another manufacturer. Just my 3 cents

Go for the platinum daytona, but let the hype die down a bit and see if you can score a substantial discount. If you need any more help spending your money please let me know

I think after a little while, you'd look back and wish you would have diversified a little bit.

i like the idea of the RG AP....and i love the new PT daytona.....if you don't want to do both, any chance to flip one of your current daytonas for the AP and PT daytona?

The first one (rose gold) is my holy grail of Rolex's. That's the one I have been drooling over since the beginning. It is currently out of my price range but I'm hoping it will be my retirement present to myself in about 13 years. So if it were me I would be all over the rose gold one. The platinum is nice but like white gold, it's so close to steel why bother. I'd rather get the steel version, save the money, and have a sturdier watch.

This would be my choice. Three of the same model, with the WG and PT hardly distinguishable from each other.

I'll go against the trend here and say no. WG, YG... Overkill to get another, perhaps?
Sell them both and get a stunning vintage steel one ("PN"), which will likely increase in value and rarity. All you need!

There are so many nice watch brands out there. Take a bit and think this through.

I would never purchase 2 of the same watches in different metals. But 3? Of course not. But then again, I don't have a endless bank account. Do whatever makes you smile man.
