If you could only choose 2 out of these 3...

Which 2 are keepers out of these 3 guys? Assume these are your only watches and one has to go...

I would get rid of the sub. Clasp is just too big. And it should have had a blue dial.

Well, surprise, surprise. TRF has made its preference for bracelets known yet again.

guys. You know I love you.


I'd keep the two WG. But, actually...my ideal scenario (working with these two references) would be a steel sub and the WG Daytona.

I am not a fan of the 12 series subs but think 2 Daytonas is a bit of a overkill so would keep the 2 PM pieces.

Keep the two Daytonas. I don’t care for that sub color combo, also, the Daytonas are worth more, aren’t they?

I would keep the two PM models over a SS model any day. I guess I am a contrarian to the general consensus.

WG Sub, Stainless Daytona. Love the WG Daytona too, but I think that combo gives some more versatility.

This was not an option but exactly what I would do. Sell both Daytona's for an all-PM model. Keep the Sub.
