I know a good problem to have. This time its between my all time grail

DDII with Roman concentric dial

vs.

116619 Wg Smurft & 116509 Wg Daytona Panda.

Buy one or buy 2 Wg Rolex watches. I like all three and will be keeping them long term. Value and pricing aside what would you do in this situation keeping in mind which one will me more timless.

superdog · 27 June 2013, 11:15 AM

IMO WG. Easy.

HL65 · 27 June 2013, 11:16 AM

2 WG ones for me: Smurf and Panda

SohAIS · 27 June 2013, 11:19 AM

forgot to add. I do have a 18kt Yg YMII, 18kt Yg GMT and 18kt Rose gold DDI with choclate dial

kilyung · 27 June 2013, 11:19 AM

We need to change your username to King Midas!

Nice collection King of gold!

Manofsteelpt · 27 June 2013, 11:27 AM

Very interesting dilemma... If it was the Panda, I'd get the PT DD2. Met and Smurf, now that's a different story :-)

SohAIS · 27 June 2013, 11:27 AM

Mike i owned the smurf for a very short time and ended up selling it. For some reason it has been calling my name. Im thinking to put the DDII platy on hold for a bit and pick up the WG Daytona Panda and Smurf.

SohAIS · 27 June 2013, 11:28 AM

you pulling my leg connor. Some one here had told me not too long ago once you gold you cant go back. ; )

Well you need to right that wrong then!

VICI · 27 June 2013, 11:32 AM

Sohail, if you had a smurf and it wasn't calling your name then... do you really think it'll grow on you this time around?

The panda is a very attractive watch -- in your case, perhaps skip the smurf and use the savings + some more savings and eventually get the Platty DDII.

afc1 · 27 June 2013, 11:52 AM

Hands down the two WG watches. That being said, I absolutely love the smurf and panda WG Daytona, while the platty DDII just doesn't do it for me like the others (although it's an incredible piece for sure). So I guess my answer is somewhat biased...

SaddleSC · 27 June 2013, 11:53 AM

I would choose the (2) WG pieces, especially if one of them was the 116619 Smurf...it is one of my all-time favorites.

T. Ferguson · 27 June 2013, 11:53 AM

Looks like I'm in the minority but considering your inventory you're not exactly short on outstanding timepieces so the 2 for 1 thing wouldn't trump getting what you refer to as your "all time grail".

Get the PT DD2 and you're likely to be happy for a while but if you pick up the other two you'll still be without the one you really lust for.

It's funny getting to know people so well in this medium.

Mike, looking so good. Now you need the panda. It will complete everything.

I love that watch. Sometimes more, sometimes less than the smurf.

Love both!!

LightOnAHill · 27 June 2013, 12:02 PM

I'd do the two in white gold

ecsub44 · 27 June 2013, 12:08 PM

I've had panda's aplenty but I am missing a RG Rolex from my collection. It's a toss up right now between a RG SkyDweller or RG Ceramic Daytona. Sadly I'd prefer both on RG bracelet rather than straps.

SohAIS · 27 June 2013, 12:12 PM

Kind of like this angle too.

kilyung · 27 June 2013, 12:15 PM

Get the DD2. If the 116509 and 116619 still call you, you can trade in the DD2.

SohAIS · 27 June 2013, 12:15 PM

Man that's a monster. Love it

kilyung · 27 June 2013, 12:18 PM

I pinch myself everyday I put it on.

SohAIS · 27 June 2013, 12:24 PM

Any shots of the WG Daytona panda

SohAIS · 27 June 2013, 12:24 PM

Oh that last picture is amazing Mike

c.rod · 27 June 2013, 12:27 PM

well, first reaction is buy 2 instead of 1..

second reaction is i just cant see spending that much on a rolex... i would have to jump into
patek nautilus , AP roo, etc. just a different league/statement. sorry had to say it. :)

yld2rob · 27 June 2013, 12:29 PM

2 WG for sure

Chaching · 27 June 2013, 12:32 PM
