Thread just for fun here. Thinking about what my next watch purchase would be. If you had a yachtmaster 2 yellow gold as your daily wearer/first rolex (23 years old) what would be your second watch and why?

MovieGuy · 2 April 2016, 09:38 AM

At age 23 my watch was a steel and gold Date model with jubilee bracelet with black dial. If I had an all gold Rolex back then my second one would have been a steel GMT or Submariner.

This or a SS Daytona

Agree, or a Tudor.

I would never own a yacht master as I don't like it so I would default to my current favorite model which is the GMT Master 2 in any variation. Very versatile. If you like yg I suggest the 116718 anniversary model

AASH · 2 April 2016, 09:41 AM

I personally don't lean toward gold modules, hence, a 2nd watch "If not a 1st watch" would be a new SS Sub do its versatility and characteristics.

rmlovett1 · 2 April 2016, 10:32 AM

At that age...SS sub

Rolexing24_7 · 2 April 2016, 10:35 AM

you definitely need something with the date, no matter if is all gold or ss

DSSD. Something for under the water. And after the YM2 anything 40mm will feel tiny. Otherwise I'd say SD4K.

Aop · 2 April 2016, 10:48 AM

Thanks for the feedback! What are your guys' thoughts on a SS AP Royal oak?

beautiful watch

kilyung · 2 April 2016, 11:25 AM

So at 23, if I had a 116688 what would I get next?

Have to go bigger on #2. Boom!

Or if you want to go a little more subtle yet still big.

Haha, I like your style! Totally agree, it's not logical to get something less.... It only goes up not down 😂

Then let me go to the other end of the spectrum.

bdex75 · 2 April 2016, 11:33 AM

Buy a yacht to go with the watch!!🛥

But on a serious note I would go with something in a white metal. Maybe a SS sub or even a WG sub if you want to stay PM. But Neil has a point on this one. He has a PM fleet and just bought this one. It is a special dude.

What about a blue DSSD that would make a great pair

+1 since you can probably pull that large case size off

Patek manual wind on leather

MjolnirCFC · 2 April 2016, 03:47 PM

I would like my next watch to be either a RG Breguet Marine Chrono or a RG Breguet La Tradition.

Since I have 4 Rolex my next will be a Rolex...

Sub SS
Daytona rose gold on strap

Although lately I have been eying IWC and Panerai.

1William · 2 April 2016, 09:43 PM

How about a Explorer II or the Date Just II.

capote · 2 April 2016, 11:48 PM

Skip the midtire brands and go for a Philippe Dufour

thoughts?

jbsmith · 3 April 2016, 12:54 AM

Like others have said.... D blue, pam 233, ExpII42, Navi, or djii for that sweet spot size of 42 to 44. After owning the above I can't go back to 40mm, which sucks bc there r some awesome more plentiful 40mm sizes available.

MoonExplorer · 3 April 2016, 01:00 AM

Would go for a SS Sub. Classic.

sea-dweller · 3 April 2016, 02:30 AM

Id get a SS Sub.

tmehanna · 3 April 2016, 07:45 AM

Everyone needs a steel submariner! I heard this countless times here and always thought it was BS. I never really liked the submariner, until that one day I walked into the local AD to pick up a Polar EXP II which I didn't like on my wrist and the SubC LV caught my eye on my way out. I tried it on my wrist and didn't want to take it off. It looked amazing under the spotlights at the AD so it was an impulse buy to be honest. Later when I saw the dial in direct sunlight I was a little disappointed, it didn't look as good, and I don't even like green. I wore it for two days then it ended up in one of my winders. Was only a week later when I decided to wear it again, but this time it started growing on me and I started to appreciate everything about it and now I know why the Steel Submariner has been the most successful luxury sports watch in history: It's faultless.

avilhena · 3 April 2016, 08:07 AM

Well, I dont like the YM2, i would sell that and get a 116618LB to keep in the YG range and for a second watch I would look for a 15400 with Black Dial.
