I know its been asked before but I was thinking of maybe becoming a one watch guy.
I rotate 4 or 5 watches at the moment favouring 2 or 3 of them depending what I'm upto.
I have a manual job in a hotel and like to be outside when I can around water.
You can see what I have now though I have just sold the Breitling.
I've been tempted more than once to sell up and buy a GMT 2c but the horror stories put me off a bit and I would probably have the links brushed when they lose their shine.
I do like dive type watches though I don't dive its just nice to know that you can.
7.5 inch wrist and dont want to mutch bulk. Had a Breitling Chrono Avenger for a while. really liked it but is was a magnet for door frames.
I wear the Omega GMT often and it suits in many ways but my watch budget has risen so on the look out for THE IDEAL WATCH.
If I sold my 3 remaining watches I guess I would have around 3.5-4K for a new or used item.
Any thoughts on any brand ?

16610 Sub.

exxondus · 8 October 2010, 11:59 PM

Sub C.

no PCLs and has the ceramic bezel you like :D

Ck8 · 9 October 2010, 12:43 AM

the mars rolex

nauticajoe · 9 October 2010, 12:45 AM

If you had to sell the 14060, definitely consider the 16610, 16600, or 116610.

Good Luck!

DRAWTOOL · 9 October 2010, 12:55 AM

I'd keep the 14060 and get a White EXP-II (it has a date & GMT function). You would have 2 great options. I don't think one Rolex is enough. If I could only have one, it would be the EXP-II.

jeremyam · 9 October 2010, 01:28 AM

16610 seems like the logical jump, take it you don't like pcl, so 16610, 116610, 16600 or the monster dssd, you wrist size make this a real possibility.

You already have the ideal one-watch on your signature! 14060M

GradyPhilpott · 9 October 2010, 01:37 AM

A Rolex.

Hi all,
This is my first post, so be gentle. Ive just bought a Sub 116610 LN, and i reckon has to be the perfect Rolex. The clasp is a work of art.

Seems to me you've got what you're looking for in the Sub. Not sure I see the point of selling the Sub and some others just to get a Sub w/date.

I'd keep the Sub and maybe add the EXP II white face. You'd have two very different looking watches, and the EXP has the GMT movement.

Hi, I am seriously contemplating this watch (I currently have an Omega BA GMT, which I also love BTW :)) But what exactly are you referring to with the above statement? Everything I have seen here, and other forums, is positive. I appreciate any info/links you can provide. Thanks!

If it were one watch for me, it would have a date and would be a sport model. For me that leaves the Sub or GMT.

ibramr · 9 October 2010, 11:14 AM

Drawtool said it before me..."I'd keep the 14060 and get a White EXP-II (it has a date & GMT function). You would have 2 great options." I do not think that you can improve on these two watches in terms of reliability of function, and supremcy of form. Enjoy in good health.

Dweller...or Polar???

DS_Obsessed · 9 October 2010, 12:18 PM

If you have a strong grip and man sized wrists, step up to the deep sea! For real though, my OP works in most situations.

PHDX2 · 9 October 2010, 12:25 PM

Sub!

Richard. · 9 October 2010, 05:28 PM

For versatility it would have to be the GMT IIc. Just ignore the scratches, they don't matter.

Any Sub works.

xjeeunitx · 10 October 2010, 12:30 AM

Here's a watch that has history, quality, and value.

Omega Speedmaster Professional Moon Watch 3570.50.00

Brand new from an AD with two years warranty for under $2,700. You can't beat this.

warrior · 10 October 2010, 12:45 AM

To the OP, it would be the Sub that you already have or Speedy Pro. Dates are not a must for me.
