New to the forum and looking for some advice from all you experienced Rolex heads.
Looking at buying my first Rolex, not sure which way to go sub ceramic, gmt ceramic, sea dweller old style or deep sea sea dweller I have $10,000 to spend any advice would be great.
Currently have
Panerai 297
Panerai 210
Breitling super ocean
Omega speedmaster triple date
Oris small seconds

Thanks Dale

Get a SubC and save for the rest.

My brother-in-law has a sea dweller, I had it on today during Thanksgiving dinner. It's such a classic Rolex piece. It is a really hard question to answer. I find the hunt for my next watch the funnest part. I think the GMTc is really cool. Good luck and welcome to TRF.

What you do like about the various watches you are considering??? Pros / cons ???

mtl514 · 23 November 2012, 02:25 PM

This :)

What features are important to you? No disrespect but if you have to ask maybe you don't need another watch.

I would say the GMTIIc, but as you have the PAM297, would go SubC.

Dr. Robert · 23 November 2012, 02:32 PM

How about buying some pre-owned subs??? You may be able to buy 2?????

Old SD. Al bezel rocks!

red1108nyc · 23 November 2012, 02:34 PM

I like the classic 40mm SD 16600 a lot!

mtl514 · 23 November 2012, 02:35 PM

I say start collecting, you have a few daily wear watches, the market (vintage) is soft right now and pretty soon the prices will go back up. Take advantage.

boywondergq1 · 23 November 2012, 03:07 PM

I say Subc or GMTIIc. I'm very happy with my GMTIIc and am in the market for a nice minty DJ!

The 114060 Sub is as elegant a sports watch as your likely to find at any price and at $7500USD, I think it's a steal.

There are a number of threads about the piece. Here's one.
