Which of the below would you choose as a collection?

Old
16600 M-Series
16610LV M-Series
16610 D-Series

Or

New
DSSD
GMT2C

I currently own the 'old' collection and my eyes have been turned by the newer models. Should I liquidate my old collection and go for the new? I'm just afraid that I'll regret big time when the time comes

I have chosen a hybrid as the perfect solution for me. The 16600 SD is the greatest classic tool watch ever made IMO. But I also believe that the new feature set of the GMTIIC make it a technological tour de force and a must have as well. One of each can't be beat.

Stay with the old and save for the new!!!!
The ones you've listed (in the old) are all discontinued and are all classics in their own right....I'd bet you would regret flipping them the moment they leave your hands! Just my

JUSTROLEXES · 25 October 2010, 03:10 PM

How about
1- 16600 M-Series
2- 16610LV M-Series
3- Ceramic GMT

All three of your watches are icon references IMHO while the 2 new watches you listed are still current production.

Time is on your side with the newer references. Who says you can't own 5?

+1 Perfect collection

travisb · 25 October 2010, 07:11 PM

No need to have all "new" or all "old". I'd keep the SD and one of the Subs and add a new GMT2C. Good luck.

gettocard · 25 October 2010, 07:22 PM

Rolex to me stopped making watches at Basel 2008 and 2010,so I go with the old.An that's why I go with my SD 16600.

Puffy · 25 October 2010, 07:50 PM

Your collection looks pretty new to me

Follow everyone elses advice and save for the new

masterkiller · 25 October 2010, 08:26 PM

Sell the old junk and go ceramic!

garis · 25 October 2010, 09:51 PM

Thanks all for your input.

I'll start saving for the new pieces as just the mere thought of letting go of any of my current babies just give me the shudders.

Definitely big time guilt and regret

nauticajoe · 25 October 2010, 10:17 PM

As many have mentioned, save for the new. You might regret selling your collection later on.
