Help me decide my next watch!
I am trying to decide on the following watches. Please take a poll and then post a message letting me know why you chose the watch you did. I really appreciate this help. The reason I am asking is that I hope to get different insight into these watches to help me decide. They are all beautiful and it's a difficult decision. I currently have the Rolex Sub, GMT and Daytona. Thanks again!
Thanks! Allan |

I voted DD. You have several sporty watches, and the DD is a classic slightly more "professional/dressy" choice. Although you have the Daytona, so I am not sure why you would ever want another watch!

Which versions of the AP, Breitling, Panerai did you have in mind? Royal Oaks? Offshores? Chronomats? SuperOceans? 111,113,112, 233, 249....
Have no idea what you're after here...a little less ambiguity would be helpful....but since you have me typing...and I'm guessing and I have no idea what your likes are with the exception of what is already in your watchbox....your next watch should be a AP Royal Oak Offshore Safari. cheers

Alan, you specify the Rolex model but not the model of the other brands - be more specific - which AP which Pam?

Allan,
If you have a big wrist, go with either the very expensive DD II or the new, soon to be released, DJ II......both in 41 mm size!! JJ

If I had the cash I would go for the DD - it would add something different to your collection.

I would go for the new style DJ for versatility, and to get the new superjubilee bracelet.
My second choice would be a DD on Oyster (in white gold). Good luck. Post pictures when you have decided. Best, A P.S. AP is really fine also ;-) |

What budget? These choices are all over the place in terms of pricing.

I think I ruled out the Breitling. Right now I am leaning towards a DJ, Pamerai or AP. I am not in love with the DJ but would wear it more as an everyday watch. Are Pamerai or AP watches more scarce to find? Is the Pamerai or the AP more popular with Rolex lovers? Allan |

you have the divers, GMT and chronograph categories well covered i'd look at something totally different,i'd go for a black ceramic pam 292 j series with pig if you can find one, very limited, very collectable.

I got a Breitling Emergency to mix it up. It is a nice change from my Rolex.

I voted AP. However, I think a trip to Carmel is in order. Try on some various APs, Panerai, etc. and you'll know what strikes your fancy. I love the President, but with your current collection I would consider branching out a bit.
