Trade my Bluesy for a Roger Dubuis, JLC or Daytona?

[youthagainsttt]

Thanks to everyone who replied to my original thread last week ("9 months review of a 116613LB https://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=539340


But I think the time has come, luxury watches are great but it is too much of a "luxury" to have a watch lying around that you would wear only 3 times a month on average.


So, I have come up with the following criteria:
1) The watch needs to be steel
2) needs to have a white dial
3) preferably on bracelet but also a watch which matches well with straps (brown, black or even blue)
4) versatile enough so I can wear to work, be dressy or casual





So, at the moment I have a Piaget which is a flyback chromo, 2nd timezone and date. But with black dial, I think the next one needs to be white preferable. Blue I had and now will trade - the Piaget I cannot change the strap so my next piece I want to have this option.


So these would be:



RD Excalibur - HK$146,000 but can get for probably 40% discount.



Master geographic by JLC - I do like the black dial slightly better but it's too similar to my Piaget


well, the white daytona. I've always thought of this as a bit dull but recently it has grown on me a bit more. But then I am someone who likes to make less obvious choices and to wear something that few people have, and this watch is going to be a common occurrence here in HK

x4 for the Daytona

Daytona. No question.

[meganfox17]

Sorry Sir but none of your selection actually tugs at my heartstrings.

But 0ne truly Outstanding timepiece with that iconic Gerald Genta integrated styling bracelet actually fulfills all 4 criterias perfectly.This 70s classic also happens to be a real favourite among members of the Omega Forum.
That bracelet is so incredibly beautiful in the flesh and really...internet photos dont do justice at all to IWC Ingenieur Ref 3239

Daytona, but the one pictured is not the current model with ceramic bezel. Both models are great.

Thanks so far for the replies - I guess I knew the Daytona would get the majority of votes on this forum but how about the Roger dubuis? I do think this model has a great design, fantastic movement and really one of the best bracelets on the market

[Chewbacca]

Roger Dubois.

[Rocco21]

The only one I would trade for is Daytona.

[nick c]

Trade Rolex for Rolex

[tmac141]

Daytona for sure!!!

[breitlings]

Daytona rd second

[AK797]

Daytona or AP RO/ROC for something a bit different.

[swils8610]

Daytona for sure. Why not a Polar Explorer?

It will be forgotten about in a year or two and if you get sick of it, you will never be able to sell it.

X2 Go with the Daytona so when your ready to flip its an easy sell

[TWCjapan]

Daytona for sure.

[Coffes4closers]

What about an AP Royal Oak with a silver dial? Looks amazing on straps and the bracelet is stunning. Another one to consider is the white dial Vacheron Overseas. Again, on the bracelet it's killer, but equally as attractive on the rubber/leather straps. I'm not a huge fan of that Daytona... strikes me as a bit dull personally. Good luck!

No reason you cannot wear the TT Sub as a daily, just saying, but sounds like your mind is made up.

[peterpl]

I would not trade your 6 digit Bluesy for any of them. Keep the sub - its better looking than all of the 3 options.

[Hotrod297]

I'd keep the Sub, but If you have to "DAYTONA"

[Chadridv]

Truth is I know nothing about those other watches. Daytona is a winner though for sure.

Seems a big consensus here

But if I do decide to get it, the next problem is getting hold of one..!

[sager]

Definitely Daytona!
