Yeah, take option 1, add the Tudor to the left side and swap the smurf for the 5711.

I recently passed on one. I didn't even want to try it on. Scared I'd love it.

Keep one of the Submariners + the Daytona > sell the rest > add the GMT and keep the change.

You have the diver covered with the no date sub. Just as myself, I don't think there is a better choice here.

I would look at Patek 1st

42mm explorer may be a nice fit rotating with the panerai

I would go option 1 and get that WG Sub. It's amazing.

Option 4 is a good option as well but you had me at Option 1

I feel like I'd be settling with the other Patek's. Love this one, but out of my league for now....

Option 1 (you've wanted the blue for a long time), but, I would keep the 111G and flip the 16610 for it.

With three Subs and BB, I would never wear the 16610, so, keep LVc and BB, get the WG Sub and keep the 111G (and all the straps!).

BTW, best WWYD thread ever with those photos, Mik!!

Sure you can ;)

In that case, AP RO.
But, if you can swing for a Nautilus I'd pick that over the AP.

Tough decision with all those options. If it were me, I'd sell the Daytona, Exp & 111 and sit on the cash while I explored my options. I'm a fan of all the refs you're considering.

While I like option 5, I would not get rid of the Daytona.

I'd flip the other two and add the cash while keeping the Daytona.

Yeah, I'm having a hard time selling the 16610. First one I ever got. Seems like a good luck watch. Your point is very valid however.

DD40 would be years later for me. Would like the price to come down. I do like the looks of it!

Very good point. I do actually enjoy thinking about what to get. Having all the cash in hand would actually help me think for some reason. Plus, maybe I could go look at a 5711 then......I don't like tire kicking at ADs. I'm sure it is gone anyways.

Ok. I'll go to the bank at lunch and see if the Daytona puts a smile on my face one more time.

Ok then, trade your subs and Daytona for a 116619LB and be done with it :)

Option four seems to keep cash in your pocket, bring variety to your collection (not a third sub), while keeping a your watch collection quite liquid as well.

I voted for option 2.

But I would redefine your collection and consider the 16610, 116520 and PAM111 as the "keepers" and the Tudor, 116610LV, Radiomir and Explorer as the "sacrifices".

Don't buy two watches at the same time, even if you can afford it.

I would also consider buying something like a Royal Oak or a Nautilus instead of a Rolex.
