which watch to add?

[Jools]

I am in a lucky position that I will add another Rolex to my collection (is 2 a collection?) - I have a 2009 ExII and a '75 5513 (original and papers). So I am looking at a late SD or an early GMT..I have flirted with another brand such as Breguet/Blancpain, but I always come back to these two... like the Sub, if vintage then it's a friday watch, if the SD then another daily (like the Ex)..?

Welcome to TRF.

I think anybody that has one Rolex has something pretty special. Heck most people think we are dumb for spending that much money on one watch, but that is a different matter. I consider two Rolex's a collection. Congrats, nice collection you have there.

Either watch you have so far is pretty special and can be worn almost anywhere. Either of your choices I think will work, all you need to determine is which one you like the most. Get that one and use it whenever the mood strikes you.

Either one would be an awesome addition to your collection.

Good luck in the hunt!

what is considered vintage for a watch, like cars say for ex 25 puts them in the antique era, so is 25 for a watch pushing vintage??

id like to know seeing how my '96 sub may soon be there in a few more....

Most consider a watch to be vintage if it has a plexi crystal. Rolex stopped making those about 1988 I believe.

However at some point this criteria will probably change.
