To shed a little light on my situation I am going to be purchasing a Rolex in the next few days. I am having such a hard time deciding which way to go. Obviously everyone will have a different answer/ preference but if you had to choose from the following, which would you prefer?

My current watches are:
Rolex Explorer II - Black Face
Panerai 388
Omega Seamaster Professional 300m - Black

I wear all of my watches casually and with a suit.

I am deciding between:

Submariner Date - similar look to the Omega Seamaster
Deep Sea Sea Dweller
Datejust II with WG Fluted Bezel - Dark Grey Face with Black Roman Numerals
Datejust II with YG - Black face with Gold/Black Roman Numerals
Datejust II with YG - Grey face with Green/Black Roman Numerals

Thanks all for your input.

SeaDweller50 · 28 March 2014, 03:52 AM

The fact that you already have the SMP may I suggest one of the DJ's?

Datejust II with WG Fluted Bezel - Dark Grey Face with Black Roman Numerals

Tridor · 28 March 2014, 07:09 AM

SubC Date. Notwithstanding the fact that I have one already, I would buy it again.

I'd get this, it's a fabulous watch, it looks very special and unique

NukeMan · 28 March 2014, 07:26 AM

Datejust II with YG - Grey face with Green/Black Roman Numerals - for sure, based on your other watches!

jay_kay · 28 March 2014, 07:44 AM

Deepsea

franzy · 28 March 2014, 07:47 AM

Based on your collection, I would say yellow gold all the way. Datejust II with YG - Grey face with Green/Black Roman Numerals. Good luck with your decision.

MortgageGuy · 28 March 2014, 07:50 AM

Sounds like you have the sports watches covered, I would grab the DJ and whichever you prefer the most. Perhaps even look into the 36mm size in addition to the 41mm? Just a thought as it would work better as a dress piece and the dial availability is much more.

mjclark32 · 28 March 2014, 07:52 AM

Sub or wg DJII IMO

Invictus Maneo · 28 March 2014, 07:52 AM

I'll chime in with my vote being one of the DJ's. The YG, Green/Black/Roman is a great choice, imho!

FremStar · 28 March 2014, 07:54 AM

Get the one that sings to you... If you were buying it for me I would take the Deep Sea since I do not own it! Thanks in advance!

x2!! Of the ones you listed as choices and your current collection.

Robbyman · 28 March 2014, 10:04 AM

The answer is Subc, now what was the question?

mvmbles · 28 March 2014, 10:10 AM

Personally, I prefer having variety in terms of dial color, so I'd probably go with one of the grey dial DJII. Since it appears you are partial to black dials however, you can't go wrong with the Sub C Date.

byodo88 · 28 March 2014, 12:19 PM

So I couldn't wait until the weekend... This one caught my eye in Hawaii about a year ago. I went to my AD after work and picked this up. The sub was too similar to my Omega and I like the look of the new Sea Dweller and will get that when it comes out. AD said wait about 9 months until they have it. Wrist shot coming soon.

byodo88 · 28 March 2014, 12:28 PM

Here is the new watch with my others... I am a terrible photographer. The YG DJ2 was beautiful with the Black/ Green hands but I forgot that my Dad has that watch and the gold does not look great on me. After wearing the watch for a few hours I cannot believe how comfortable it is.

Old Expat Beast · 28 March 2014, 01:40 PM

If you're unsure, then wait. That's my advice.

Nycturbovr6 · 28 March 2014, 02:30 PM

CWIN · 28 March 2014, 02:47 PM

Congrats! Looks great on you and I love that dial.
