Icon4 116713 vs tt-daytona vs pam 233

I have narrowed down my choice since i'm planning to flip my pam323 and Currently I'm having a deepsea dweller and a Hulk and I can't decide what I really want maybe some gold in my life or another pam if or should i go full gold daytona on a leather strap suggestion please!

I voted for the 116518 as its a beautiful watch but if not then I'd recommend a TT Daytona. Can't go wrong with that dressed up or down

If going TT Daytona, the panda dial is really nice. I would give the nod to that ever so slightly over the GMT.

since you have a DSSD and a sub would go for the Daytona

if you are thinking of flipping and wanting some gold may consider a bigger flip for an all gold piece, say YG GMT?

Voted to put the Hulk or Deepsea into the mix and get the 116518... but even better to trade both with the PAM for something superb.

wow we have similar taste If I'm going tt that's the dial I wanted to get. I guest the daytona should also be a good way to go since the tt gmt is too similar to the two rolex i had ? first i was also considering the bluesy but i dont want 3 diving watch in my collection

Agree with Larry as usual, toss up between these two. What I would say is that in line with Tom's great suggestion to get the YG GMTc, maybe get the TT first and at a good discount from a trusted and enjoy it while saving for the full version, I think most of us will tell you there is nothing quite like a full gold Rolex on the wrist.

I currently have two out of the four that you are seeking, the Pam 233 and the TT GMT. Like most of the guys have been saying, if you get a TT you will at some point start to wonder how the full gold would fair. I am in the process of adding a YG GMT to my collection after owning a TT GMT II C , for quite some time. With all of that said, I still would not get rid of either ( Pam 233 or the TT GMT ). Judging by your collection, I personally would get the TT GMT and gently ease my way into a full gold watch, you might stop at that , because not everyone can pull off full gold.

Nice choice Ken, for me the 116713. I find it the nicest TT Rolex ever made, it differs a lot from the DSSD and Sub and will fit well in your collection.

Dayt wears quite a bit smaller so you should def try them on but it sounds like GMTc TT is a better fit for you.

Thank You, now I guess I'm leaning to the gmt 2 since you're saying that it's different from theDSSD and hulk that's like a green light for me
