Here's the choice. Currently have a 116613lb. Keep the 116613, add a DD or Daytona, or trade the bluesy up to the 18k?

If you can add a DD40 and keep your Bluesy then that sounds best all round to me.

It's feasible, I'm primarily concerned with resale and liquidity should I want to sell. I like the RG olive dial, but I think better deals can be had with YG. Maybe I'll look at preowned.

I love the blue dial on the bluesy but the TT doesn’t do it for me personally. Not sure on resale value on the precious metal models but you might take a bit of a hit. I’m sure you’d get some sort of discount so it’s all relative.

DD40 for its versatility, never out of place, suit or casual and perhaps biggest factor the President bracelet

Wish they did the DD Olive green dial in a YG case & bracelet - that would be perfect!

I absolutely love the Olive green dial with gold font, but just not crazy about the RG case.

As it stands the YG Sub wins, then the DD then Daytona - having said that, there's really no losers here - they are all stunning pieces.

Cheers

If the DD40 in WG was in the mix, that would be the clear #1 for me - versatile and, IMHO, unbeatably elegant.

Among this fantastic selection, it would be a toss up between the DD and the Sub - with the DD being a slight favourite

Probably the DD, but the sub is a very close runner up to me

Of the three options listed I would go with the 116618LB. Change the dial color and it becomes more of a discussion for me.

Try it out in person to see how that fits with your skin tone and the color of the suits you wear most often.
