Considering my second...maybe third?

[KrismanX]

Long post short:

Should I buy one wonder PM to compliment my SS Daytona, or should I create my choice SS trio?

I have been a one watch man for 3 wonderful years. I have been ravenously into TRF since I bought my watch in 2014. Since that day, I have built a healthy obsession with mine and all mechanical watches. The silver lining to my 2017 cloud is shining brightly, and I will be in a position to buy a new watch!

I have already gotten some great feedback on potential choices across the entire range. Thanks to Chadri and many others for your insights(and previous similar posts)! Now I am considering a slightly different strategy...so here's my Poll.

Firstly, I will not be selling my 116520. Initially I considered going for a second watch in the PM range that way I've got polar opposites that can go super comfy and super classic. THEN I thought about all of the SS models I've enjoyed lusting over the last three years(when I didn't think I could afford PM), and I thought about going for a double-incoming of SS that will set me up a pretty looking trio, and potentially have some pocket change left over.

PM I've considered RG Olive DayDate/WG Blue DayDate, or maybe a SubLV/SD43 and an SS SkyD to complete an SS Land Air Sea Trio. I know my trio would take time, so patience isn't an issue for me. I've been a One watch man with no issues. This is a big occasion I'm celebrating so jumping from 1 to 3 Rolex watches isn't a bother to me either.

Thanks for all the enabling and advice, ladies and gents!

I say go PM. Once I went PM, SS was an afterthought. Except for PT!!! When you wear a Platona, you’re definitely aware of your watch. Seriously though, one SS & one PM would be the ideal collection. If I ever decide to consolidate, I will probably shrink down to three or four watches. One SS, one RG, one YG & one either WG or PT. In the end, I want to be a watch wearer not a watch collector. At some point this obsession gets ridiculous and I’m almost, but not quite there yet.

prob the best advice you will ever get right here op.

I vote for LVc + sea/sky dweller. Mainly because variety is important, color is important and because of the better resale values just in case.

Lastly, I personally like white metals more but that just me.

Good luck

I have eight pieces now (seven SS and one titanium) and that's probably too many, but I love the option to switch things up when I get bored.

I might consolidate down to half of what I have now if I grow up but I'm happy where I am at the moment.

OP, you could look at it as being relative to your age. If you're, say, south of 50 then maybe go SS trio for a few years and then go PM once you've had your kicks in wearing a variety of SS.

Thanks for the responses guys!! I don't want to be a collector; but I would eventually like some variety to play with. I am little hesitant to drop it all on one really nice watch; but we are talking DayDate and they're just

I'm a seesaw of emotion..

Sure, get a PM Sky D!!!

[tbonesteak]

I just went from one to two, my thoughts are 3:

I’ve got a Daytona C & a black Sub C, one more and I’m done for a long time. My 3rd will either be a SS Sky-Dweller or an OF Rose Gold Yachtmaster. You can get a nice PM piece for a healthy discount to the Day/Date... I’m betting when I decide to go for the 3rd, if I get the Everose Yachtmaster, it’ll be cheaper than the Dweller, prob around $14k used/mint.

Daytona/LV/Sky-Dweller

A 116520 and a daydate are hard to beat.

That's a good duo for sure!

Try a Pm.

[watchwatcher]

My vote is for PM. I would go WG DD40, either blue or olive. Great complement to the Daytona and has been pretty much a "collection killer".

[superdog]

WG DD40.

The pinnacle.

[Kiddodoc]

PM is great to have in a collection and since you have a SS and you don't fancy a big collection.
WG/YG Sub
DD 40
BLRO
Would be great additions.

I voted the trio, but it is hard to turn down a DD!

[peterpl]

Get PM. Once you go precious metal it will be very hard for you to go back to SS.

[NeoAnderson]

Get a Daydate and be done!

[KrismanX]

Thanks guys! I think will definitely be content with a DayDate and my Daytona. My acquisition strategy will probably go something like: Day Date now, and snag a diver later on. I've still got a little bit of time to think about it, so you may see a few more posts between now and an incoming; but thanks for all the input.

Go PM and grab a minty 18238 or 18239 if you want white gold. Then you still have enough leftover for SS.

Two is better than one! PM or SS that’s just gravy lol
Go with two SS, that’s what I would do

[Hank]

I voted for trio for more variety, more durability and better resale value.

[Pacheco]

DD40 hands down!! The WG Blue is on my wish list but I had 2 SS pieces first so I went YG. Can’t go wrong either way.
