I've had a Sub Date for 20 years. Now I'm jonesing for a Sub No Date, same series for my daily beater. And I'd get a pair of GMT II 3186 M's if I could afford it.

I'm sure it would, but you can always keep it clean.

What you're describing are two different watches. A comparable example is like having two pairs of the same shoe in different colours.

In any case, three is a magic number.

I have both the gold and the platinum. I wear the platinum a lot more but I'm definitely glad to have both.

My first-world dilemma beyond the expense of this endeavor is that I've never owned two fine watches simultaneously - so I'm not sure what my game plan would be in terms of deciding what to wear when.

Secondly, there are other things of some interest to me, like the Yachtmaster in gold. Any thoughts on all of this?

Thanks so much!
Have you tried the Pt on?
