Itching for a new watch

I know at the end of the day it's up to me on which watch works for me, but i'd like to ask for opinions on which you guys like.

A)


B) Band or bracelet?




C) Which color?

Out of these... Definitely the 114300. I've always been pretty partial to the grey rhodium.

C. Dark rhodium. The Exp I shares similar qualities but does not compare.

Rhodium with blue pips

I've tried it on a few times. It's amazing.

I see a lot of 39 op on the preowned market. I also prefer the 214270 but wait for the new model in a month or two.

Indicates to me that people get bored of an entry level piece.

I think the grey rhodium OP with the exp 1 as a close second!

I have the OP 39 mm grey dial! Stunner... I did contemplate selling but only for an 'upgrade' but have decided against. Will keep and save longer for an upgrade. Or flip the AP diver

I think I'm going to be controversial here....

Of the watches you've suggested, I think I'd go IWC. Something a little different.

Depends if you already have a Rolex. But the IWC looks great and can really mix it up if you have predominantly Rolexes.

Of course the forum is biased and I was inclined to chose the Rolex as default first. But gotta add some variety in life haha.

Let us know what you end up choosing!
