Simply outstanding!

I was looking at that VC today. Hoping they will offer in a metal bracelet at some point.

It's photo's like this that remind me to laugh when people say money can't buy happiness.

These would be my top three all day everyday.

Congrats on winning life!

[QUOTE=brucethemanlee;9400364]I have recently contemplated that if I were to consolidate / trim my watch collection down to only 2 watches - which two would I end up with?

Based on my lifestyle / work, the two keepers would be my: Daytona 116500 ceramic (white) + GMT Master II 126710 BLRO Pepsi

For me, these two deliver the best 1-2 punch because:
-GMT for daily wear and travel needs
-Daytona for daily wear and dress ocassions
-both rugged and water proof
-both super comfortable
-both classics that will last a lifetime

What’s your best 1-2 punch, if you could only have two?



Oh man, I’ve revisited this post a few times now and it’s making me think very seriously about selling up ‘going grey’ to restart my collection with these two absolute Aces....

Wow!! that platinum DD ( with green dial correct?) and the daytona are awesome! That red chrono hand on the daytona just makes the watch "sparkle"

almost makes me want to start moving to to PM models!

Whoa! That's some serious APs you have there!

If you had to pull the trigger and ruthlessly cut down to 2.... it would be what?

The solid gold already has me thinking about trading up my new bluesy 2 tone. That is such a special piece. I could say your 3 watches are a great great set in that photo very nice !

I’m with you.

The CHNR and Daytona are my duo. But the Deepsea is usually in charge!

NICE!!! You did the unexpected! I could have sworn it would have been the BLRO and Daytona.

That's what makes this hobby so awesome - so many choices with so many different opinions

Very very cool! That purple strap on the BP just shocks and wakes you up! I love it!
