Big Battle (DJII or Navi TT?)

Please help me out. I love watches and can't stop dreaming of my next acquisition. I just bought my Breitling navitimer D23322 TT BLACK DIAL. Love it so much I bought 5 different OEM straps to wear with it. It came on the Navi TT bracelet. Now my issue is I also love the Rolex DJII 116333w/ GREEN ROMAN dial. I Think this Rolex gives a good contrast to my other Rolex 116610ln subC I bought also this year. I don't want 2 TT watches so should I keep the Navitimer or sell it and buy the DJII ? To me both are Iconic, one is/has more change ability. One has a more prestige with common folk.


I own the Navi D23322 TT BLACK DIAL on TT BRACELET.
Should I buy the Rolex 116333?
Which watch is more impressive in the wild?
Do you think they are comparable like Mercedes C to BMW 3?

THIS IS STRICTLY BASED ON LOOKS NOT FUNCTION... Should I buy the DJII or Keep the Navi? I like recognition from others when I wear my watches honestly. After this decision my next acquisition will be AP panda, diver or bbee. FYI

Based on looks, my preference is the DJII. One of the most eye catching watches out there today.

I would just buy a pie pan watch if you want others to see it and that's all you care about...

I never said that's all I care about. I am a WIS. I just would like to have a desirable collection adored/ admired by others. There is nothing wrong with that folks. Reading is fundamental! These watches cost 1/3 of some annual salary. If you own a Porsche doesn't mean your not a motor enthusiast.

Want to impress? How about going all out on a YG DDII? Or a platinum DDII with ice blue dial? That's impressive IMO.

I wish I could afford any one of those...lol Crawling before walking right now. But I am curious to which one do you like more? And why?

If that's th case, I'd go with the TT DJII.
Simply because it isn't a Breitling.

I would keep the Navitimer, the DJII is simply not for me. Here is the thing though: Nobody cares and/or see what kind of watch you are wearing unless they have an interest in watches. The general population doesn't care.

Quick q - what's your definition of "I'm a WIS"?

I went to the casino yesterday and a gentleman at the opposite end of the craps table was wearing a TT Navitimer. That watch was instantly recognizable and very noticeable from, what 15 ft away.

Your on a Rolex Forum... I say Rolex DJII all the way, visit Breitling source, I should imagine your answer being Breitling.

Thanks for the feedback so far everyone. I appreciate all of the points of views that have been expressed. Ive been tossing and turning for 3 nights debating on what do. DJII is a beauty. Breitling is no slouch either. I am a big fan of leather and crocodile strap watches... :D that's why the Navi so difficult to let go....

Let me make this clear for a few people who are out dated or out of touch. To say the opposite sex " women " don't notice your watch is a big falsehood. I work in the corporate world of pharmaceuticals in Boca Raton, FL. I was told by a very attractive lady, a QUALITY woman will notice three things about you in the first 30 seconds : your teeth, your shoes and your watch... Wisdom when u hear it!
FYI I married her...

If you want "eye catching", I really think the Navitimer is the one. It's a pretty bold statement on the wrist.
