Next piece for me....... Opinions

I know a very personal decision but looking for opinions..... I currently have a red/black GMT II silver bracelet, date just silver bracelet, IWC ingenieur, and Cartier tank in my arsenal

Although I'm starting to get the itch again and have been moving around a lot on what I want. I know my list will have a mix between dress and sport but all opinions welcome!!

1. PP Calatrava, leather strap, yellow gold
2. Daytona two tone w/ black face
3. Panarai luminor marina 1950 3 days silver bracelet
4. Jlc reverso
5. Other

I'm leaning towards the Daytona as I don't have a nice two tone yet and like the look. How common is the watch? I went through a lot of the pics in this section and it didn't seem like a lot of you guys have one so curious if it's a taste thing or just not a solid piece?

Thanks for all your thoughts!

Wanted to also add..... Budget would be $15k and under, ideally closer to 10k and used is fine.

i agree wait for basel. Never have seen a calatrava under 15k. Can you get one that cheap? Rumors of a ceramic bezel daytona coming? Could be the one for you!

My other watch was a Cartier Santos which I lost a few months ago.

I then bought a SubC and I do miss the Santos. I may buy a Santos again.

If you're thinking the TT Daytona, the panda dial is the one I would recommend.

Appreciate this, big regret is that I sold my original Calatrava so have really been itching to get it back.

Thanks Muzz! I'm just starting out but proud of the extended family! I do regret ever selling my PP, at the time I just didn't wear it enough but it does eat away at me.

I'd suggest a chronograph, i.e. Daytona TT.

Get a Reverso in the future should you opt to flip the Tank.

would like to see the 2015 choices, but the TT Daytona is great. That Calatrava does get me going though......

Wait until you're not moving around so much on what you want. Kick the tires some more until a clear winner emerges for you.

This! The Panda dial is definitely the best looking one for the TT in my opinion.

The Patek would be my second choice although I this stage I would definitely wait to see what Basel offers.
