Smurf looks great. But I'm sort of biased on this one. Close running if your looking for that extra pop anY of the YG sport watches.

PP looks like it was custom made for you!!

watchwatcher · 24 August 2015, 01:30 AM

Well...they're all fantastic. Absolutely no wrong choices here.

That said, the platinum DD would be an amazing addition to your collection.

Mr DateJust · 24 August 2015, 03:40 AM

5146 for sure between that and the smurf. Wish it had the option of an old school buckle. Never cared for deployment clasps on leather.

Rashid.bk · 24 August 2015, 03:47 AM

The two DDs are the stand outs for me and would fix the precious metal urge in a heart beat.
The Patek does look good but I think you'll come full circle if the look and feel of precious metal is what you're yearning for.

I'd take the DD in yellow gold but romans dial.
Congrats in advance, any of the choices is going to be quite a purchase.

Happy Hunting!

looks fun i would go with the smurf if i was in this good position

Rockrolex · 24 August 2015, 05:17 AM

Adel,

For me the choice would be between the fluted bezel DD or the 5146 PP. If you're looking for something rugged that will stand up to just about anything, go with the DD. Otherwise, I do like the PP with its extra complication. Tough choice there.

Nice shots, I think the 5146 looks best on you.

It also gives you the most diversity. You have a daily with the 5711, a sports watch with the BLNR, and then s fsntastic dress watch with the 5146.

Psmith · 24 August 2015, 07:09 AM

PP. Done.

Hairdude1 · 24 August 2015, 07:14 AM

The GMT looks great! Can't go wrong with a 718

Thank you all very much for the responses and comments.
Glad you liked the pictures!

Oh I am absolutely going back. Going again in the middle of next month - and the hunt continued.
I am not yet ready to pull the trigger anyways, and really enjoy the hunt.

Friend of mine that tagged along later said the same thing. I'm really liking the look of it.

Thanks for the reply! Thinking it through. The Fluted bezel DD is slightly too much "bling" for me to be honest.
A beautiful watch for sure, but just a little too early in life for me for such a watch. Not to mention that I don't dress up much.
Apart from the PP, I really like the Smurf. The blue dial is really beautiful!

I was honestly thinking the same.
The 5711 is a perfect dress up and down simple watch with no complications. The BLNR is my travel watch, and the 5146 can add complications along with a leather strap watch, and PM as well.
I am not too concerned about a FULL white/yellow gold watch. I just like the idea of adding something different, and the 5146 falls under the criteria of precious metal for me.

I also think it is very versatile. I am dressed in shorts or casuals very often, and the 5146 is extremely versatile for its kind of watch IMO. I love it!

Will continue the hunt, and post follow-up pictures, until hopefully I pull the trigger a bit later down the line.

Thanks for looking everyone!

I think the Patek looks best on you. Good luck!

Agree, the Smurf is the one for you!

daytonaTBR · 24 August 2015, 11:00 AM

Check out the 5205g or 5205r. I much prefer it to the 5146 and I think it'll give the smurf a run for its money. Although they are different watches

CWIN · 24 August 2015, 11:41 AM

5146 by a mile, followed by the platinum 40mm DD.

All the 40mm PM Rolex look too large on your wrist.
