I need another Rolex!

I now have four. And the reason I have four is because I don't have five.

Now to help me decide which watch will be my next acquisition:

My leanings are toward:

1. A WG Meteorite Daytona

2. A TT GMT II

3. A GMT IIc SS

4. A 41mm Datejust. Concentric Dial. (If I can find one)!

Your vote please...

Geez Richard, could you make it any easier? Meteorite Daytona, of course. Now, it is quite a bit more expensive than the rest, so naturally, its awesomeness is superior!

I have to agree Greg. The Meteorite Daytona is my first choice of course, but I could just about have all the rest for the same money.

A delightful dilemma!

I would vote for the DJII because it's new and it could freshen up your collection!

You won't do wrong with any of the ones mentioned above.

Richard, how about a vintage piece? They are cheaper than they have been in years! FWIW, I voted for a Daytona!

Kyle,

For a young man you are most intelligent!

I have to decide whether I would like quantity or space rock. I love the TT GMT II and a vintage Rolex would be a very nice change.

Thanks for your suggestion and it is great that you are so active on TRF!!

Richard,

I think Kyle has a very good idea.... vintage red 1680 would be awesome. The prices have dropped so now is the time to buy.

If you are sticking to modern watches then I would choose a GMT IIc (mostly due to cost) followed by Daytona.

Can't wait to see your choice.

I think the Datejust II would be more unusual at the moment. But, whatever mood strikes you.

Oh! MY!!!

I don't have 30 to 60K for a good one. Out of my league!

But it is luscious!

No, No Richard.... your pricing is too high.

About 15k for a nice one.

Meteorite!

It is a very unusual-looking watch, and you don't already have a Daytona.

Since you have a YM, two Subs and a GMT in your collection, I'd say you need a Daytona to round it off. The meteorite dial is gorgeous, so go for it! Good luck!
