Icon2 PM MAdness! Trip to AD Pictures Inside...

I thought I would like the Yellow Gold, and although I did, I also liked the BLRO which by the way was discounted from $38 to $to 28 because it was taken out the door, and later returned that day. The Yellow Gold was $33,250, and the Everose Daytona was $38

I found that although I was unable to read the time quickly, on the Daytona, due to the bling, and the business of the dial, that It is a beautiful and comfortable watch. It seems that the Yellow's and the Everose PM models, hold their value more than the White gold in Suburban locations, whereas the White Gold models hold their value better in the Big City, where most people are knowledgeable about the Brand..

Of course, this was conjecture on the part of the Owner...

Then there's the Yellow Gold Sunburst Dial. it did have some heft baby...and on a side note, the Yellow Gold weighed 8 grams more than the Everose Gold Daytona...

Icon7 Decisions decisions...

After about an hour of vigorous wearing, and trying on the Yellow Gold, the Daytona, and the BLRO, I picked up a Yellow Gold GMT. and the funny thing is that the GMT's both the BLRO, and the Green dial anniversary fit really nice and felt comfortable. I was surprised that I started liking the GMT complication as much if not more than the Sub...

It is increasingly difficult to choose just one. Like i said there was a discount on the BLRO, and we had negotiated on that one, but then I started like the yellow's and Everose colors... It is really hard to choose just one...

I'm more confused now than i was before I went in...

No bad choices there. All beautiful watches. I have always been more of a Sub guy, but the GMT's wear better on most people because of the flatter case back.
That pic with the LB and BLRO together...what a tough decision. The YG and Sunburst dial is like peanut butter and jelly, made to go together. But the BLRO screams I can be worn on any occasion.
My two favorite modern PM examples.
Tough choice.

I'm going to add a BLRO myself, but there is just something about the gold/green GMT that is simply striking!

When in doubt, do nothing. Take a few days to think it through; the watches will still be there. Not a bad choice in that lot.

BLRO is a great price, maybe you can get more off. Buy that and the Blue Subc. Sell others if you have to. You have the PM bug.

I'd put a hold on that BLRO while you think about it. It's a good price from an AD...

(but then I'm biased)

Agreed....OP is all over the place with this decision.

Except for the BLRO, all the other pieces will be overpriced at AD prices.

Love the YG GMT. Looks fantastic.

I know this sounds stupid but I think the GMT complication seems more legit in PM than a Sub.

You must be a trusted customer there, or they have really relaxed employees. I've never been at an AD where they like to take more than one watch out of the case at a time, let alone 3-4 PM pieces.

Or maybe it's because I'm a shifty looking character.
