Next purchase suggestions, please?
Hi all,
I recently purchased a DJII, blue dial, white gold bezel, stick and love it. I'm thinking about getting another Rolex. I already have a Longines Legend Diver and a Seamaster Professional (2 tone;gold/SS). Any suggestions and why? Thanks everyone. Much appreciated. |

Gold GMTIIc. The weight of a full gold Rolex is amazing and you don't have a GMT watch yet.

Buy them all.
Because they are all awesome, except that one that's a touch tacky. Don't get that one |

You need an Explorer II 42mm black dial.

I too agree with the GMT suggestion. Since you have a TT I also agree that in YG would be best.
Also a YG President 36mm would be good |

I've been considering an Explorer II, white dial, and also either a 2 tone Sub or GMTII. Still unsure which.

White gold sub, once you see it, you won't want anything else.

You already have two diving watches, so I suggest a Rolex Explorer or a GMT. Great for traveling.
And if you got the cash to spare, a Skydweller! |

Great suggestions. Thanks. I do like the Sub's, but, as I already have 2 dive watches, the GMT is a good suggestion. Still thinking. Thanks again, all.

Decision time! I've decided I will, in fact, trade in my Omega Seamaster Professional (2 tone). Therefore, I've narrowed the next purchase down to either a Sub or GMT. I'm thinking I'll wait until after Basel and see if I can snag a 2012 model at a reduced price. Thanks everyone!

It sounds like you want an auto chronograph.

I'm thinking SS Green dial Sub. Depending on cash, I'm thinking I'd follow that up with an Explorer II, possibly. I considered a PAM, briefly, but leery of buying something with no AD in town. I like my Rolex AD so, I'll stick with them for now.

Apple: That's a very nice Omega!
OP: Get a Daytona, or an Explorer II.

Another vote for the YG GMT. Go green dial to really sex things up.
