So I’ve recently been thinking about becoming a one watch kind of guy. In the next few months my new TT ceramic Sub account will reach 100% and I’ll be able to add the watch to my small but growing collection, right next to my GMT-IIc. But I am craving a Day-Date II and am thinking of selling the GMT-IIc and saving up a little more cash and pulling the trigger. Thoughts? Could a WG DDII make you a one watch guy/girl? How about YG? Can you wear the DDII formally as well as casually?

I wear my 36mm DayDate formally and casually....I have even been fly fishing wearing my DayDate!!!......but I am sorry to say the DayDate II does zero for me....each to their own as they say......the Ceramic Sub and the GMTIIc would be great in my opinion, I would far rather have those two....

Could never have just one watch now.. Having a few allows me to keep falling in love...

I wouldn't sell any at this stage. Keep saving for the DD if that's what you're craving....

every time i've tried adding a second watch, i don't like the results. there's something a bit more spartan to having only one watch that i ultimately enjoy. but there's nothing spartan about yellow or white gold... go for what you want - it can always sell later.

See avatar.

Pt 36mm DD with glacier dial.

I like the GMT IIc. Almost got one in yellow gold, but it just seemed too blingy.

The DD in glacier, just fell in love with it and took it home.

Larry, that truly is beautiful

I love variety, and could never be happy with just one watch especially with a II-C and a Sub-C in my line up.

Having said that, I would move heaven and earth for a grail watch. (just don't expect to stop at one grail

)

Don't sell... just save a bit longer and you can add it to your collection..

If I were only able to have one watch, the SS GMT IIc would be it...

Cheers
