Alright Guys,

I'm heading to Vegas in December, and in spite of the watch-buying notoriety there, I do love to browse and purchase!

There's just something about it to me.

Perhaps it's because I'm starved of the watch thing where I live and they have oh so many there!!

Anyway....what next? I've oogled 3 totally different pieces in the last year, so here's what I'm thinking:

* BP 5004
* Rolex White Dial Daytona
* Speedy Pro

What would you choose if it were your choice?

BTW- I am leaning toward one in particular.

I would narrow it down by deciding whether you want the chronograph function. If you like chrono, my choice would be the daytona, but otherwise my soft spot is the BP.

Nothing quite like the magic of wearing a Daytona.

Daytona if you miraculously get it there for the memories (extra Benjamins)...TRF for practicality! Nevertheless enjoy!!

Dude - Big Pilot. No question about it, IMO.

BP would be my pick of those

Cheers

You'll know when you put on the BP.
If not, the Daytona is a beaut for sure. The price point between the Daytona and Speedy is faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar.

So, try on the BP. Do you LOVE it???? You know you like the Daytona...

Bryan..on the hunt again?..congrats...
anyhow..BP would worth a look...I just don't have the wrist for it...

Daytona would be the fall back (who would of thought daytona would be fall back hum?)

Wait till you get to Vegas.......there will be a lot of other options waiting for you there.

BP for sure!!!

I have had my 5002 for almost 6 yrs now...its one of the 3 pieces that I have held on to that long, and that has not been sold or traded....only others to make it that long are my first Rolex, a K series 16610 and my first Panerai, a titanium PAM221 on bracelet. A while back I stuck a black strap from a newer 5004 on it to preserve the original brown buffalo strap (plus black goes with more things!)

Here's a pic of mine with wifey's Mark XVI..some of you may recognize the photo location
