Considering a change up to my collection.
I am thinking of parting with my CHNR, TT 41 DJ and possibly by 41 Bluesy towards a new precious metal watch. My Daytona collection is complete so the candidates to add are YG 41 sub, new GMT YG jubilee, DD 40 WG, or DD 40 yg. I already have a YG OQ and the WG 41 sub. Any feedback is appreciated.

YG DD seems to be the logical choice to me.

Get the new yellow gold GMT Master with the Jubilee bracelet. I tried one on in June while on vacation in Barcelona. Haven’t been able to get it out of my head. You’ve already got a PM Submariner.

Since you already have the WG Sub, I'd go YG GMT on jubilee.

I think your basis is covered, I would go with one of the DD models.

Hate to just suggest the most expensive.
The platinum dd is nice bc like your wg sub its subtle compared to the yg and rg stuff. It also has a special feeling to it. I’d consider that and I’d consider a royal oak Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

WG DD as it is very versatile.

You have the Platona so we are really just talking whipped cream and cherries at this point. I bought a DD40 a few months ago and it just wasn’t for me. I bought the WG olive dial and the fit was such a disappointment. Boutique was suggesting getting half links, grand links, etc but it just started annoying me and the watch just didn’t blow me away. So there’s that…..

I do have the platinum Daytona so am not looking at a Platinum DD. Love the clean look of a WG DD with silver dial and baguettes or the YG DD with silver dial and batons.

I recently saw the YG GMT on jubilee in the metal in a shop in Hamburg and my vote goes to that. Stunning.

You can't go wrong with either of the choices listed, and it all depends on what you want, but I would personally go for YG DD will be a perfect one IMO.

I have enjoyed everyone's feedback. I am now leaning to the DD. Most prefer a YG DD but I can see the appeal of the WG DD too.

I’d go YG DD or GMT. I’m getting the GMT today and have the DD. I’d choose based off of your collection needs and which one you’d reach for more often….a professional or a classic watch.
