I have all of that 3 Rolexes but still want to have that PP and AP.
That PP and AP are a lot harder to acquire than 3 Rolexes at MSRP. Best way is to have them all.

I’d prefer the 3 Rolex to one from the bottom row

The three Rolex watches in this scenario work better for me.

The three Rolex are fun and you can live with them.
The others are forever on your mind and paints you as a high value target (not that the Rolex are safer though...) My Sub is the watch I wear the most, because it isn't scared of water, dings, or dirt. While I wish I was wealthy enough to only wear watches like Breguet 7097, I don't have a lifestyle that allows me to wear something fragile on my wrist. |

I agree. I may be in the minority, but for whatever reason, PP and AP do nothing for me (at least the two shown). In fact, I think they are on the ugly side as far as watches go and not sure what others see in them. That being said, we each have different tastes so to each their own.

I wouldnt want to daily my grail. My wrist is too small for that AP, and the PP is one of my all time favorites... but owning 1 watch and wearing it everywhere is fine for a sub or an apple watch; but for me I cant daily a 5990. Easy choice - I'd rather those 3 rolex.

Normally, I'd choose less watches over more. In this case, however, neither the PP nor the AP speak to me. For that reason, I'd take the three Rolexes.

That's a pretty tempting comparison. The Sub and GMT are too similar in my opinion, one hand (function)and some color... If given the choice I personally would take the Patek over all three of the Rolex models.

Any one of the three Rolex shown are more appealing to me than either of the bottom two.

A "grail" watch today might be the "I'm tired of it" watch in the future. Having a Submariner, GMT Master II, and a Daytona all together makes for a really versatile combination.

100% a 15407. I’m working on a 15407 and hope to get one in 1-2 years. Here’s a random shot of my latest RO. 15407 is obviously much more beautiful than a ROC |

I own all 3 of those and it’s without question going to be a double balance. In my experience, these rolex watches were fun for a few years but there wasn’t any turning back once I got into AP, FP, and PP

I’ve tried this before and found I was always too afraid to wear the grail

Grail. Something I look at every day and love. Fortunately my grail was a simple sub. 5 years later and I still think it was one of the best things I've done for myself.

One grail, the 5990. Those Rolexes are great but that 5990 is so beautiful! Only thing is that you’re gonna get the itch back for more. That took two years for me after the downsize.

For context…I have owned all of those watches.
Ask this on the PP or AP forum and it might look a little different. Everyone has their own opinions, loyalties, and tastes. This is a very personal choice and absolutely NO wrong answer here. Buy and wear what you like…that’s the only answer I go with. I like at minimum, 2 watches, if I’d be going quality vs quantity. In this scenario I love all of these watches but, I’d only have the PP or AP alongside a SS Rolex, I personally wouldn’t daily that particular PP or that particular AP. |
