Let’s see how common PM really is in this echo chamber of watch collecting.

bp1000 · 17 July 2024, 07:32 AM

I think one of the good things about TRF is despite it being mainly about Rolex watches the members here have very individual tastes and opinions on what differences and nuances suit them… and they are willing to debate the differences respectfully.

I wouldn’t call it an echo chamber. Not when we have 10+ page threads on relatively imperceptible differences between 11 and 12 series Daytonas.

P.s. I own at least 1 pm watch.

116508.

buckeyechemie · 17 July 2024, 07:36 AM

Does the 16622 YM Platinum Dial / Bezel count?

PenDelicate · 17 July 2024, 07:42 AM

I made an almost comically stereotypical progression.

Wore SS Sub for years, was never interested in two-tone. Then woke-up one Sunday to find I'd developed a passionate interest in two-tone. Bought a two-tone Daytona, swore it would be my last watch. And it was. Until last year. When I traded the Sub and Daytona for a yellow gold P-serial Daytona on black leather strap (116518). Was absolutely enamoured with it. Swore it was my last watch. And it was. Until last Saturday. When I traded it in against Chrono24's cheapest full yellow gold K-serial Daytona in Europe (116528). What - what - a beautiful watch.

This is clearly my last watch :-D

It's hard to explain but once you get your 1st PM on bracelet (my OF isn't the same) a steel watch doesn't feel the same.

A 42mm AP offshore in steel has a similar heft and feel.

Bazil · 17 July 2024, 08:17 AM

Half PM .. 126519 ..
You need to add half PM for those of us OysterF. Bad boys ..

Famous last words. I say the same thing about guitars and shoes.

Cambo · 17 July 2024, 09:26 AM

I have three but still hoping to score a WG blue dial Daytona. Grey is the only option now

Benzsiam · 17 July 2024, 09:38 AM

PM timepieces are my number one choice.

bmwmcab · 17 July 2024, 09:42 AM

I have a 126613LN. Does that count? Picked it up this past March.

Phrank · 17 July 2024, 09:49 AM

Yes, 1999 Rolex 18238 Day-Date.

HL65 · 17 July 2024, 09:56 AM

Same here 126519

pigman08 · 17 July 2024, 10:06 AM

Don’t have a PM, but I’d like to eventually get a Pt DD36, smooth bezel, with either a white, black, or silver dial.

Right?

My Submariner and GMT would qualify

I have a PM JLC. No real interest in a PM Rolex.

yep, this is my situation as well. I know others have said that once you go PM, you'll never go back - but, I'm wrist weight sensitive, so that is a no-go for me.

If TT does not count, then No. As a female I do have a lot of PM and precious stone jewelry, though.

worldfamoussam · 17 July 2024, 11:19 AM

I've got two of them. One in yellow gold, the other in rose.

Colorado_kid · 17 July 2024, 11:23 AM

Only PM watch. My wedding year watch.

Majority of mine are PM

ArtNouveau · 17 July 2024, 02:19 PM

Never had one although I’ve certainly spent enough on watches over the last 40 years to have a few. They simply don’t fit my lifestyle. Most of my career was spent in collaborative office jobs that were ultimately customer service related. Never had to dress up, a PM watch would have been ostentatious there. Now retired and quite active in cycling, I will wear my OPs and BLRO while riding, my Daytona generally doesn’t much.
I sort of think a vintage Daydate on strap would be cool but pretty low priority.
