$25,000 to spend....

I have a nice collection - this would be the PM grail piece.

White Gold is tough because I have so many stainless steel watches - I'd have to say no go on the white gold.

YG GMT with green face
YG GMT with black face
DD in RG - must have batons, not romans or diamonds
DD in YG - must have batons, not romans or diamonds
YG Sub Black Face
YG Sub Blue Face

(I love the stainless blue dial sky dweller, but getting it for 12k when it's retail price is 14k, not getting it for 22k)

Thoughts? Am I missing something?

Without knowing the collection and just assuming "nice," I'm going with DD40 in RG.

Then it has to be a DD.

Go YG for that true PM feeling.

For me, in this order.
DD 36 YG This is the flagship of Rolex
YG Blue Sub
DD 36 RG

Also remember the DD is the only Rolex that does not share its bracelet with any other model

DD40 in yellow or rose gold. If yellow go with the champagne stick dial. If rose go with the chocolate stick dial. Go with the original DD36 if you want the classic look and size. It depends on your wrist size but it’s the timeless option. However the new 3255 is a really nice movement. The president bracelet is extremely comfortable and really my favorite out of the 3 Rolex makes.

I agree with you on the SS Sky Dweller. Great value and lots of watch for the money but wait for retail or less. It will be in production for a long time.
