If you only had one PM piece between these 3

Price aside and you could only have one PM piece in your collection... which option would you go with.

228239- Meteorite DD40 paired with a 126610LN
228206- DD40 motif dial (would be the only watch due to the smooth bezel). I know some people like the fluted, but for an everyday piece smooth is the way to go and would be the only option in plat for me. I've been envious with a friend who rocks a bluesy everyday no matter what. Id like to get there someday and I believe this watch could check all the boxes.
116519LN- Ghost dial paired with a 126610LN- (current set up)

* Please note... I own/owned all of these pieces at one point (sold DD's to get back into boating)

Quick pros and cons for each watch from wear experience.


116519LN
Pro: Best dial IMO in the daytona range. Comfortable to wear and versatile.
Con: Chronograph is useless to me and I love the date complication since I use it constantly with my watches (yes its a simple complication, but practical)

228239:
Pro: Best dial in the WG range. Each dial is piece unique
Con: Could not really be a daily due to the fluted bezel and dial makes it more dressy IMO . Some people complain about no adjustment option, but I never had that issue with DDs. Setting the time is a pain since there is there are no railroad tracks like other dials to set the time.

228206:
Pro: Boss piece. Very versatile. Lumed sticks makes it a watch you can wear with a suit or go hang out with t-shirt and shorts
Con: Would be the only piece in the collection. Smooth bezel can get messed up and show vs fluted (although I dented a few fluted bezels in my day)

Let the fun Begin!
