Of those the only one that gets me going is the Daytona; go for it.

up2nogood · 20 October 2015, 10:54 PM

Option 1, then 3. 2 I can leave.

I would go with either one of the divers. I don't like Tachymeter bezels. I don't even know how to use one and they look very cluttered. Although I don't dive I can still use the diver bezel to time things.

Now of the two divers that is a very personal choice as to me they make two different statements. One has a very classy vintage look where as the other is a very modern tool/diver watch.

For me personally for the reasons mentioned above and other lifestyle reasons: Pelagos.

daytona

Save for Daytona

Bfd70 · 20 October 2015, 11:35 PM

Lots of good advice. I guess since the options are really apples and oranges, the question is which do you want the most. If it is the Daytona, buying something else because you can get gratification sooner will not work. You will just be 3k further away from the Daytona. If you like them all the same, I think the 2 Tudors and a Speedy is a pretty good suggestion.

I would keep the 114060 it is a beauty

For the one watch guy (or newly convinced Rolex afficinado) with the need for speed (or just to to time it) the Daytona is a benchmark. For the user of a dive watch and water active individual think the Tudors are fantastic, but Rolex can do this for you in various iterations as well. As mentioned somewhere else, get the one you truly want, even if you have to save a bit more and hunt a bit further, that saves money in the end.

The Daytona is an awesome watch...

Techno · 21 October 2015, 01:53 AM

Is the Pelagos 42mm significantly bigger than to sub 40mm ?

I wouldn't say significantly...there is a difference, though. It's a great watch.

SemperFi · 21 October 2015, 04:08 AM

As I am not a Daytona fan, one of the few on this forum, I'd get the Black Bay Black.

Techno · 21 October 2015, 11:35 PM

Tried it
To my surprise. Pelagoes is thick

Browns · 22 October 2015, 02:45 AM

Daytona then if you already have the sub

Nycturbovr6 · 22 October 2015, 03:19 AM

I would go for the bbb

Techno · 22 October 2015, 09:24 AM
