Help me pick next one!

First time post, so thank you for your patience.

Bought my first watch (new 41mm Bluesy) great watch for most places. But for my second I would love a PM piece.

Would love your feedback on the following and a rank for the following

1. Yellow Gold Daytona/black face dial
2. Yellow Gold DayDate new reference/black face stick dial
3. Yellow Gold Sub Black Face (I know I already have a sub!

Welcome! I thought long and hard and came up with the following which everyone here will agree is the only correct answer, top to least;

1. Yellow Gold Daytona/black face dial
2. Yellow Gold DayDate new reference/black face stick dial
3. Yellow Gold Sub Black Face

Enjoy your holiday

If it were me, I’d go for the yellow gold Day Date with the black motif dial.

I probably would not go for the sub. I say that as having multiple sub variations so take that for what it is worth.

The DD and Daytona are both great….whichever one you like best. I’d pass on the YG sub only because you already have the bluesy.

I would prioritize them as: 1 = 2 and both before 3.

Welcome. The Daytona will give you the Easy Link adjustable clasp for a better fit and some adjustment on the fly. The DD is the classic PM Rolex and is an Icon. If you can live with out the adjustment in the bracelet then DD, if not, Daytona. No bad choices here.

I'd go for the yellow gold day date with black dial. It's just stunning.

I’d say tough choice between Daytona and daydate - you’ve already got a sub!

My order would be Daytona, DD, SUB. Or second order DD, Daytona, SUB. Reason for that is that I am not a fan of PM SUBs. MYHO.
