I am resolutely sticking with just two watches after having too many watches by far in the past.

I have decided to move my lovely Omega Coax Chrono Full Steel on after 3 years and replace it with a 11610 for day to day wear. Non controversial and with little cash to find in order to change.

The one I am more thoughtful over is the replacement of my 116523 Daytona (w/f) for one of these more indulgent watches (all NIB, mfr warranty) :

£9500

£7000

£9000

£5500

The thing is all these watches smile at me. What do you fellas reckon?

i would forget the breitling and JLC.. have you considered a TT daytona.. would cost significantly less than the other options you mention and is the best looking imho.

Nice choices all. If I had to choose, I would go with the two middle ones. I like the Daytona on the strap (better than on a bracelet) and I love the JLC Master Geo. I have the RG with white dial myself. One of my nicer dress watches.

I have to agree with that assessment!

As I have already said I have the T/T Daytona 116523 (w/f) and it is a very nice watch but it doesn't quite do it for me.

I'm a big fan of the JLC.

I'm with stupid, if you really want to get rid of the TT daytona (which I think is a great watch with the w/f) the JLC and the daytona on a strap are great choices. I would lean towards the JLC as it is quite an impresive piece.

Hi Welshman,

Welcome to TRF. I'd go with the very first one and the Breitling....if it's just TWO watches you're after.

Cheers - JJ

Although myself not a huge fan of the modern day Daytona. IMO the TT version is a far Superior looking model,and agree with Mamas and save a few pounds.But ultimately its the one you like best,you have to wear it.

I would go with either the Daytona on the sprap or the JLC
