Thinking of going from Datejust II to Datejust 36

[phrede]

Need a bit of inspiration and thought on the following:



My father passed last year and left us with a few watches. Since he had very strong feelings for my SDc and told me to never sell that watch, it is my sole keeper of my (2 watch) "collection".



So, my sister inherited his IWC 3714 and my brother his DJII ref 116300.

Now, neither of the watches has been his for very long so they don't have that much sentimental value.

Aside from my SDc, I had a Speedmaster 9300.



My brother and I traded the DJII for the Speedmaster 9300, and I do like the DJII, but I also think that it is a "overdone" and does not have the nobility and designed-by-function "theme", I have always loved in a Datejust.



So I am thinking about trading the 1166300 for a 116134 on an Oyster bracelet. With the updated lugs, I think I can pull it off on my "OK-sized"-wrists...

Looking very much forward to hear your thought and opinions!



Thanks,
