Hey there everyone!
I'm planning on getting a new watch. Right now, I own two: a Rolex Datejust 1601 in SS/WG, and a two-tone quartz Tag Heuer S/EL. I am considering 5 watches (unfortunately, I can only have one):

Omega Speedmaster '57 in two-tone (I know this is a rolex forum, but still...)
Two-tone Rolex Yachtmaster 40 (SS/gold)
Rolex Yachtmaster 40 in platinum and stainless steel
Rolex Daytona two-tone
Two tone Rolex Submariner with blue dial

After trying on the submariner, I felt as though the wide lugs made it look too bulky for my wrist. I'm leaning towards the other four, but I can't pick one over the other. Plz help...

TT Daytona

sea-dweller · 15 May 2017, 09:29 AM

The Daytona is very comfortable to wear, but the ultimate choice is yours, good luck!

porschejeff · 15 May 2017, 10:00 AM

#4 or # 5 would be my choices from your list. Good luck and report back (with pics).

superstarmar · 15 May 2017, 10:15 AM

#5 all the way , all day and everyday !!!!
Twice on Sunday!!!! Try the older 5 digit 16613lb if
The newer 6 digit is a little too large for your wrist !!!

Kiddodoc · 15 May 2017, 10:24 AM

TT Daytona is a gorgeous watch!

I'll second that.

AK797 · 15 May 2017, 10:52 AM

I'd get a blue dial, either Subc or YM.

Go with the TT Sub.

Yachtmaster 40 with rhodium dial is stunning.

Castor · 15 May 2017, 11:54 PM

I think that asking yourself what your going to do while wearing the watch is important. Also ask yourself, why Rolex? The brand? The way it looks? A hero of yours (ie Cousteau, Federer, etc.)? It's a significant purchase & you want to make sure you get what you will really love.

Had it for around 8 months now

lord91 · 16 May 2017, 12:05 AM

#5 Bluesy. And i'm not even into TTs, but the Bluesy is a killer

uncufunc · 16 May 2017, 12:14 AM

Have you considered the YM40 in RG/SS? The chocolate dial is mesmerizing, and they just released a black version this year. Fantastic reference, 116621

beshannon · 16 May 2017, 12:16 AM

Do you need a chronograph or a dive watch?

Maiden · 16 May 2017, 12:24 AM

This

ezmarr · 16 May 2017, 12:25 AM

I vote for #3.

Wrist Watcher · 16 May 2017, 12:31 AM

#5 bluesy ftw!

shenzenus · 16 May 2017, 12:40 AM

My wrist is 6" and wearing TT Bluesy

You're on a Rolex forum but your #1 is an Omega. Ask yourself what you REALLY want. All you're going to get are personal extremely biased answers.

drm20 · 16 May 2017, 03:03 AM

#5 for sure, you'll get used to the size

encarter13 · 16 May 2017, 03:09 AM

Another vote for the TT Sub. Just a great looking watch!

Etschell · 16 May 2017, 03:10 AM

for all those clamoring about the sub his post says he doesnt like wide lugs.

ShiamRolexBoss · 16 May 2017, 06:31 AM

It's not in order of preference....other than the Sub, I like all the others equally. After wearing the sub, I felt it was too bulky.
