I would go pre owned. This would allow buying YG Sub Or YM and a vintage Sub!

Ya I guess i could go with just 1 Gold Piece.
I was thinking it would be better to have 2 different SS models to mix up. Plus probably still have money left over.
25K was in Dollars. (sorry I should have clarified)
Looks like the consensus is Daytona mixed with either a GMT or Sub, possibly a DJII

Agreed.

No offense to SS Daytona owners, they're are gorgeous timepieces, but I feel that the prices are just too inflated, so I personally would only purchase a precious metal Daytona as their prices are in line with most other precious metal Rolex watches.

My answer would have to be one precious metal or three stainless steel Rolex sports models.

Sub C LN and SS GMT IIc.

Well within allowable budget and maybe not enough variety for some, but they would work for me.

I would say a Black Stick djii or Explorer ii 42mm used ( 6500-7300 )
TT Gmt ii C or TT sub C used ( 8800-9500)

With this you have around 8.5-9k left over and can go get a sub used 16610 lv around (6400-6700) and then to get a id go with a used omega speedy for around 2500-3000 =)


OR you can do a used DDII GMTIIc 18k or SubC18k.

25k is alot of money! Wish I had these options Id be up all night!

Try one of the trusted sellers here on TRF you wont be disappointed!

All of those prices btw are my ballpark value they may not be entirely accurate.


Good luck!

With the posts so far. I'm now thinking maybe I should just get 1 watch and get a Day Date 2. Can you really pull off wearing one with jeans and flip flops? On the days I'm not working?
Thanks
