Does this compute? (based on gray market prices)

116506 = 116618LN + 116719BLRO

Would you rather get the Platona over two gold models? Never mind what else is in the collection, does this make sense?

swils8610 · 5 September 2015, 09:54 AM

I'd take the 2 gold models.

Totally agree!

AK797 · 5 September 2015, 09:57 AM

Tough one, but I would go 2 gold, tho the LB Sub not LN... and I'd also add a certain gold Nautilus as well...

Oops. I meant to say 116618LB not LN

I think this is more about timing and sequence because at the end, you will own all three Mike

PerioBear · 5 September 2015, 12:02 PM

The Rolex math definitely doesn't add up. I would go with the two gold pieces because to me it also doesn't add up that Rolex chose a chestnut brown bezel to put on a platinum Daytona!

RichM · 5 September 2015, 11:03 PM

Two gold for me.

I was going with the Platona option until you threw the LB curve. I LOVE that piece. The two would give you a nice balance. But given your collection, and I know you said it dosen't matter but it does!, and given the more is not always better concept...Platona it is. It's a VERY special watch and you won't see that many in the wild. In other words perfect for for a guy who has the stable you do. Go for it and celebrate in style

robrosen · 5 September 2015, 09:59 AM

2 gold watches for me...I think. No, 1 platinum. Not really sure. Hope this helps!

dogpawss · 5 September 2015, 10:07 AM

If I were you I definitely do!! Mine says hi!

eltonbalch · 5 September 2015, 10:07 AM

Well, frankly there isn't much about this hobby that makes sense, but if you want the Platona, then you should do it!

Abdullah71601 · 5 September 2015, 10:14 AM

I would buy the platona over those two gold watches.

nick c · 5 September 2015, 10:20 AM

Platona writing all over

Tough choice. I'd go for two gold

Duey · 5 September 2015, 10:24 AM

116618 and a 116719 all day

Manofsteelpt · 5 September 2015, 10:25 AM

I'd go with the 2 gold pieces, mike.

theken · 5 September 2015, 10:26 AM

Smurf 116619 and Pepsi 116719 would be my choice over the Platona if I was ready to spend +/- $50K on Rolex watches.

Jack T · 5 September 2015, 10:27 AM

I've only seen photos of the Playtona, not a fan of the dial and bezel colors. A gold SkyDweller or Daytona, those are real beauties.

Jlsd · 5 September 2015, 10:33 AM

I would rather go with the Platona. I would go crazy trying to decide which one to wear. Even worse, I might even end up wearing one on each hand!

AF_Rob · 5 September 2015, 10:48 AM

It doesn't make sense to me... Then again, what we do doesn't really make sense to anyone outside the TRF.

TheMethod · 5 September 2015, 10:50 AM

Platona would be my choice.

ash20 · 5 September 2015, 11:10 AM

Simple--you can only wear one at a time and the Platona looks twice as good as either of the others

h999r · 5 September 2015, 11:13 AM

Patek for me.

Trouble15 · 5 September 2015, 11:13 AM

Yg gmt & blro.

mfer · 5 September 2015, 11:15 AM

It is even worse when you go SS to G

SDc+BLNR+LVc=Smurf

T. Ferguson · 5 September 2015, 11:22 AM

I'd take the PM Sub and GMT, but I'm not a big Daytona guy to begin with so the fact it would be platinum doesn't quite sell it for me. You already have the watch I'd probably get if I were to go platinum.

Sublover2166 · 5 September 2015, 11:25 AM

2 Gold. But 116618LB Sunburst Bluesy. My wrist is 7.5 inches+

Platona is nice but I feel the Daytona wears small and I would not be happy with it.

I have owned multiple Subs and a GmtII so there you go!
