4 Rolex on the way to try :)

[japenney]

Hey everyone. It's been a while since I made a thread in the general discussion forum so I thought I would update everyone I what I will be buying next! I know some people get annoyed that I flip watches, but an equal number of people have messaged me saying that they find it interesting and fun to read about my journey.

So, on to the watches. I made a deal with one of my preferred ADs for 4 watches that I would like to try which should arrive in 7 days. Only 1 of these watches is a 100% keeper. 2 of them will likely be moved for a ceramic Daytona white dial down the road but the ETA is about a year.

1. 116660 D-blue. I sold this recently and it was a mistake. This watch will now be a 100% keeper for me. It fit so good on my wrist and looked so nice. I should never have let it go. Sometimes you have to sell something to realize what you lost. D-blue owners rejoice, you picked the right one .

2. 116400GV black. A classic example of something my heart has always wanted to try. I love the look but never got around to buying one because of the price.

3. 116710 BLNR. I sold this recently but it is just such an amazing watch that I wanted to give it another chance. My brain tells me to love this watch but the last time the D-blue dominated wrist time.

4. 114300 Rhodium. I threw this one into the deal at the last second. This is the most value per $ Rolex and I always thought it looked great. My AD sweetened the deal and I could not refuse. I will likely flip this 100% down the road but get to try it in the process.

The Dilemma Do I end up with:

1. D-blue, BLNR, DaytonaC

or

2. D-blue, MilgaussGV, DaytonaC

I feel like the milgauss brings a ton of variation to that trio with green crystal, smooth bezel, etc. While the BLNR is dwarfed by the D-blue and in a similar dive case. My brain tells me option 1 but my heart says option 2. I guess I will have several months to figure it out...What do you guys think?

Thanks for reading and I hope it was fun. I will post an incoming thread when they arrive with generous amounts of pictures . I am always up for a chat about watches so feel free to message! I leave you with a picture of my fathers 40 year old Bulova pocket watch which started my love of watches. Never serviced and it still ticks away.
