Lately my white dialed 116520 and 16610LV have been getting all the wrist time. I wear the daytona almost exclusively at work and I love the maxi dial on the LV which gets the rest of the wrist time. Both watches sit perfectly on my just under 6.5" wrist.

My 16600, bought from a dear friend who wore it for over 10 years as well as an unpolished Coke 16750 with SEL have not been getting any love lately. I thought of just keeping them in the safe but what fun is that.

Selling both and upgrading to a precious metal seems logical to me. I'm not a collector and 2-3 watches has been the ideal rotation for me.

Leading contenders are YG 118238 White Roman dial. I won't be comfortable wearing this to work (business casual) and will strictly be a weekend and special occasions watch. The other option is Patek 5146G slate dial or 5146R, either one I would be comfortable wearing at work.

This would likely be my last purchase. Period. My flipping days are over and kids college is fast approaching. Trust that this will not affect their college funds :)

The other option is simply selling the SD and GMT and keep wearing the heck out of my daytona and LV.

Thoughts, suggestions, other options? Thanks and have a great weekend everyone!

One might make a nice graduation gift for your (son)?

Patek it up. Nonetheless, wonder if this truly be your last purchase. 😈

Good thought, maybe the SD. Thanks.

Go Patek

I'd get the DD, you'll love the President bracelet. Never been a fan of the dial layout on the 5146.

Seaswirl · 30 May 2015, 11:38 PM

I'd get the PP annual calendar in a heart beat if I could swing it. I love the slate dial. Beauty.

I think I would go DD...or wait for the DD40's to come out and see how they look on your wrist....

kilyung · 31 May 2015, 12:00 AM

PP or DD

paltak · 31 May 2015, 12:17 AM

Thanks everyone. I absolutely love how the DD looks on other people's wrist but when I try it on it's a bit overpowering but I know I will get used to it. I have yet to see the 5146 in person.

tkerrmd · 31 May 2015, 12:21 AM

Think the DD would be fine and I think you will be surprised how much you can wear it anywhere

red1108nyc · 31 May 2015, 12:25 AM

Patek.

tommy91 · 31 May 2015, 01:46 AM

I would patek

locutus49 · 31 May 2015, 01:49 AM

Patek 5170

Urosfan · 31 May 2015, 04:26 AM

If this is your last go for the patek for sure

paltak · 31 May 2015, 04:53 AM

Yup, most definitely this will be my last purchase in the foreseeable future.

bigsmall · 31 May 2015, 05:12 AM

Go for metal ... You got enough steel. So DayDate is my suggestion.

Mr. Vegas · 31 May 2015, 06:48 AM

I would go with the patek at this point.

luvsub · 31 May 2015, 07:27 AM
