Left or right? (Watch combo question)
Guys I need some advice. I have the bottom two watches in this pic and I’m looking to spend -£22-24k on one or two additional pieces. It would leave me with a three watch collection (left option; SubND for play, Pepsi for work, Hulk for...special?) or a two watch collection (right option; JLC for work, Daytona for weekends +Seiko beater for gardening!).
I cannot for the life of me get my head around which option works best. I’d be paying grey prices for the Hulk and Pepsi, and AD prices for the Daytona, and selling either the JLC or Sub ND to make room / provide funds for the purchase(s). Any thoughts / advice would be really appreciated! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Id go right. That daytona on oyster is one of the most dynamic watches out there.

BLRO + Daytona if at all possible.

Left. That JLC does nothing for me.
Or, LVc + WG Daytona. |

I wish I could do BLRO + Daytona - it would be the dream - but Pepsi’s are so hard to buy from an AD (even if I buy a PM Rolex)....
My own thoughts are that the left group gives me variety, plus they’re all SS so shouldn’t age too much through wearing them. The right side would tick off one of my grails but i might be too afraid to wear it (young, active kids + working in central London = reasonably high risk...) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Left, but the three are rather similar. How about keeping the 114060 and picking up the BLRO and an Explorer?

I would worry that the 114060 and Explorer are too similar. I had thought about buying a vintage Explorer and putting it on a leather strap, but I’m just not sure I’d wear it over the other two... Urgh, this is hard... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

2. having owned most of the Rolex models over the years, the Explorer has really surprised me. I’ve had it for 6 months now, and it has become my firm favourite. Go to a grey and try one on....
