Man now you guys have me second guessing my decisions lol.

The platinum Daytona would be an awesome choice.

@padi your pick would be pretty amazing too

BLRO or Platinum Daytona. If vintage was on the table, then it would be a Comex 1665.

The Cellini Time is 39mm, which I consider to be almost too big for a dress watch, but if I like it after I see it on my wrist, I'd certainly like to pick one of those up at half price.

If not the Time, then definitely the Cestello, as mentioned earlier.

I know this sounds a bit silly, but I'm good with what I have. Even with a 50% discount, I'd be buying something I don't really want.
In fact, I'm selling my Sea Dweller now, as I don't wear it anymore since the EII turned up.
But just to play, I'd say the RG Sky Dweller?

50%? PepC for me. Although that's probably still more than I can afford.

All those platinum dreams, let's be honest, could you all affort it?

I would probably buy a black SS Daytona 116520 because I still have to be able to pay the other 50%.

Interesting..... Glad you're all about the spirit of the forum.

As for everyone else that really digs the thread platinum seems to be the way to go for quite a few folks. I have had a chance to see a couple if platinum pieces at the AD. At current msrp they are out of my range but 50% off would be quite doable.

I would have a hard time choosing between a DD or the new Daytona. Both are amazing in their own way.

Plat Daytona no brainer

At 50% off, could make some nice cash by flipping it.

If vintage counts, then I'd go for a DRSD.

Otherwise, Smurf.
