$40,000 windfall - what to buy?
So, a matter in escrow involving already taxed funds resolved in my favor.
$40,000 is falling out of the sky. I have a BLNR Oyster, a current model Sub date and a 216570 Black. Should I get a Smurf or a WG Daytona? Choices! |

No. Buy a Patek Aquanaut!

Daytona. Smurf is a nice alternative, but you need the Daytona, in blue.

I think the Daytona would be the best choice. I would prefer the WG OF Daytona to an aquanaut.

I agree with others here. You already have a fantastic Rolex lineup. I'd consider a Patek.

I’m not a fan of the Art Deco look of the squarish Pateks.
I really don’t like the look of AP’s. Would like to stay in “the family.” |

I think you need some YG or RG in your collection.

Definitely a white gold Daytona on oysterflex. Love the steel dial.

If you would like to stay in the crown, then I say a PM Daytona and whatever one speaks to you.
However, for $40k you can get a really nice ALS.... |

I'll take that 40K and make it 100K....and it's not through buying a watch. Anyhow, buy what floats your boat.

But I’m just not drawn to formal looking pieces. I think the Daytona Oysterflex it will be. |

I am confused.
WHY do so MANY posters at the site have to ask for others to make choices for them? It all seems so weird.

I would buy a gold Daytona on OF and stick the rest into as stocks. Good time to buy stocks right now.
