Help me decide my next watch!

Another vote for the President DD

[boa2]

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.

This was my vote!



I like WG, as you can see.

id go president!!!

Depends on if you want an exclusive Rolex only collection?

I notice you have several including one in a precious metal so you have the basis covered.

I voted AP, they are fascinating watches with a great history. Also you would have the makings of a more diverse collection rather than just Rolex (nothing wrong with an all Rolex collection mind)

The datejust is wonderful but seems a little out of place considering the elevated company!

With the AP you are getting True haute Horology, small amount made every year and wonderful workmanship

A Rolex DD sounds tempting! Is there an iconic model for AP if I went that route? Royal Oak?


Thanks

I say go for an AP, its what i would be next. You already have several rolex's and they all tend to look kinda the same....in the sense that the GMT, Daytona, YM pretty much share the same bracelet, the sub has the same bracelet has the old GMT, and its seems like sooner or later you definitely are going to add more rollies to the collection, which is great. However, now whilst you have the chance/opportunity/will to create a little amount of diversity, i suggest u go for it. The AP is a rung above the ladder when compared to Rolex - which doesnt matter tooo much. But they look great/fantastic, they have a solid reputation has watch crafters, i'd say the movement is more asthetic than a rolex, maybe even more detailed - yes. But before u get stuck on the brand first, i say get stuck on different models and then choose a brand. Other brands that i would consider - Chopard (w/ L.U.C movements - sport 2000), Panerai (8 days would be the only model that i would care to purchase), Piaget (Emperador - to me, classier that a DD, doesnt seem typical), VC ( love the overseas model with the slate dial), Breguet XXI Transatlantic, AP (simple royal oak, metal bracelet, black dial).....too add futher to yur confusion...hmmm JLC??? LOL

GOOD LUCK!

I would go with the DD in classic size if I could afford it and it seems you can. You are well covered on "sports" models and the DD on a Pres is just the ultimate within the Rolex realm. Going outside that is another story altogether if you ask me. Let us know what you get....please.

panerai!
try one on, and with a strap.
you'll think Rolex is too small

Well, you said no budget so...
