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.

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!
