So what should I consider next?
I know it all depends on what catches my eye but I thought I'd presennt my dilemma out for some Saturday fun. I bought a great Panerai but the Luminor case was not my style so I flipped it. I've got the itch to pick up another piece and probably a Rolex. What can I say the brand is my first love. To help me decided my present inventory includes a SS Sub C and. GMT II Pepsi with oyster bracelet. I wear and enjoy them both. Not looking to replace either but perhaps add something more dressy and different. A touch of gold would be OK. Any suggestions and pics would be sincerely appreciated. :

Thanks both are great suggestions and actually both have crossed my mind. That's my dilemma. I'm seeing some interesting designs on the updated datejusts and they have been catching my eye lately. I like the increased case size too. Your blue dial is awesome.

I also think that, considering two watches that you already have, DJ would be the right choice.
There is really many options within DJ line, there is also DJ II 41mm(when you said that you like the size, you maybe referred to that?), there are two-tones, Turn-o-graphs... Good luck!

Thanks guys, just returned from the AD. I tried on both the GMT II C TT and the Date Just II, TT, slate grey dial with green roman numerals. Both very sweet. I was surprised how the GMT sat a little lower in profile then the Sub C. Did not pull the trigger though. If I decide on the GMT TT II C then i would probably sell the Pepsi. If I went with the DJ I would keep it. Decisions...decisions.....

What about a bit different kind of DJ II? SS/WG blue dial, or SS/WG rhodium dial?

All great suggestions guys. Eric, that is one amazing time piece. The AD said it was unofficially an anniversary piece for the new DJ. Not sure if that was bs but it sounded plausible with the green numerals. How versatile is it for you? Btw, it's on my short list. Thanks.

It is quite versatile.. It goes will with casual attire too.... IMO. Dino, I you like Rolex green, then this is quite nice. Have to admit that I just haven't spent "that much time" with this one... I always shift my attention elsewhere |
