116719BLRO + 116618LB + 116506 = best damned land, air, sea trio one could ask for..... Of modern references that is :)

Even though I do not particularly care for Chronos, especially ones with screw down pushers, I voted for the Platona. Awesome watch. The reasoning is this, you can only wear one watch at a time anyway (practically speaking of course) and I'm starting to get consolidation fever thinking better less beats lesser more.

AK-Rolestar · 5 September 2015, 01:27 PM

I love gold, so I'd chose the two gold watches option.

It's better owning two great PM pieces than one PM piece IMHO.

tommyz24 · 5 September 2015, 01:28 PM

I think you should have 18k YG sub with blue sunburst dial and a 116515LN white face on that nice black strap.

GB-man · 5 September 2015, 01:32 PM

No it doesn't make sense but that's the game we choose to play. BLRO is my favorite of the lot.

zama · 5 September 2015, 01:32 PM

I think you really need to compare it within the context of the rest of the collection. For now I voted 2 gold, but I have a platinum DD so go figure...... I would be tempted to go BLRO and YG Daytona with Newman dial.

Platona any day of the week

DCheeta · 5 September 2015, 01:47 PM

Platona. Go big. If this is the watch to commemorate your career achievement, it needs to be the Platona.

I was going with the Platona option until you threw the LB curve. I LOVE that piece. The two would give you a nice balance. But given your collection, and I know you said it dosen't matter but it does!, and given the more is not always better concept...Platona it is. It's a VERY special watch and you won't see that many in the wild. In other words perfect for for a guy who has the stable you do. Go for it and celebrate in style

watchwatcher · 5 September 2015, 02:43 PM

Math has nothing to do with it...it's which one (or ones) you like that counts.

Kind of like the logic of if I wanted a BLRO more than 2 great SS pieces...does that make sense? Well, if I liked the BLRO that much it does. But not mathematically. Cause two is always more than 1 in math.

luvsub · 5 September 2015, 03:03 PM

Two gold watches. wg Pepsi and blue face yg sub

ck1109 · 5 September 2015, 03:38 PM

I'd just get a Patek.

I think a medical opinion is required. Paging Dr Tom....

nyc2la · 5 September 2015, 03:52 PM

Your choices are all incredible pieces, but I choose Platona. It is such a solid piece of work, and it is elegant, sporty, and it has the perfect amount of wrist presence. The color combination is excellent. Dress it up, dress it down. It works. Your call, but remember, you can wear only one at a time, and once you put on the Platona, it is hard to take off!

SearChart · 5 September 2015, 04:14 PM

Did anyone say 5711/1R? :p

kunlun · 5 September 2015, 05:44 PM

5711p!

Platona

pearson1995 · 5 September 2015, 05:50 PM

It is a maths question which has no answer, this is like dividing by 0.

It comes down to which you would rather own. Personally that daytona would be my pick

, but then again, you cant wrong with any of them.

Muzz · 5 September 2015, 06:12 PM

I am in the same boat Mike, could easily do it, not sure if that is what I want to do just yet. Just ordered another PM to add a wild card in case.

Tough, very tough call!!!

joli160 · 5 September 2015, 07:26 PM

I voted for 2 X gold, but not really sure. Platona is really a different league

travisb · 5 September 2015, 08:02 PM

Tough call. Platona and BLRO are my two favorite PM Rolex models.
Platona it is!

crowncollection · 5 September 2015, 08:07 PM

2 gold

2 gold for me........

DCgator · 5 September 2015, 08:18 PM

Mike, do whichever will result in making you happy regardless of all other factors.

Bangel · 5 September 2015, 08:21 PM

With those specific variables, by my working out, 2 gold is the solution to this mathematical problem.

Take the 2 gold, they are both beautiful, some of the best and most beautiful Rolex has to offer complementing each other well.

Platinum is too heavy IMO and still it is vulnerable to wear.
