Hi guys,

I was wondering what would you pick?
Taking into account that it would be the only watch(es) you could have!!

a) Daytona 116505
b) Yachtmaster 16628+GMT master 116710+Datejust 116234

I like diversity.

beshannon · 7 October 2016, 11:53 PM

Depends on what else I owned.

Depends on what I want to wear.

From these specific choices I would choose nothing.

Utomow · 7 October 2016, 11:54 PM

I will pick one only to avoid future confusion on wrist time among the three

Definitely depends on what you own. Going from 23 to 21 watches isn't a big deal. However, 4 to 2 is. I have a mental barrier towards 3 to 1 trades. I could easily consolidate three of my little worn pieces into a PP or something like that, and I just can't do it. It's too much of a loss of diversity in a ~10 watch collection.

tifosi · 7 October 2016, 11:56 PM

I'm a one watch guy.

jinikari01 · 7 October 2016, 11:58 PM

3 is better than 1

Juantxo · 8 October 2016, 12:06 AM

A dress watch with date window, a GMT watch, a way cool sports watch with date window, in trade for a watch without date, hard to see hands, a chrono that you'll never use, and gold which you would want to baby... I'd keep the three watches, thank you.

rmlovett1 · 8 October 2016, 12:08 AM

Definitely would depend on what my collection would be after both scenarios were complete.

Ruud Van Driver · 8 October 2016, 12:41 AM

I'd take my G-Shock over those options. No offence but none of those choices blow my skirt up.

Samui · 8 October 2016, 12:42 AM

Daytona 100% no question.

The Libertine · 8 October 2016, 12:44 AM

I would prefer 3 Rolex over just 1.

tkerrmd · 8 October 2016, 12:46 AM

I prefer one PM over three SS watches

Cru Jones · 8 October 2016, 12:46 AM

daytona for me, as among the other three, i'd pretty much only wear the GMT.

GB-man · 8 October 2016, 12:47 AM

116710 is the pick of that litter for me

sea-dweller · 8 October 2016, 01:23 AM

The GMT.

Lordofrolex · 8 October 2016, 01:32 AM

The trade in value of those 3 watches are more than the RG daytona is worth.

doramas · 8 October 2016, 02:20 AM

Yachtmaster 16628 + 116710 maestro GMT + Datejust 116234

Snow-Dweller · 8 October 2016, 02:26 AM

Id flip the YM for an SS Daytona.

watchwatcher · 8 October 2016, 02:31 AM

Well...neither of your options is exactly my cup of tea, so I'm kind of at a loss.

I am a big PM fan, but not at the expense of losing my entire collection. So I would be leaning toward the 3. But those wouldn't be the 3. For me, anyway.

Eric Chan · 8 October 2016, 09:06 AM

This is a tough one.

Option 1 gets you one of the best looking Daytonas available, but,

Option 2 gets you 1 PM watch (love the YM with blue dial, totally underrated) with two of the most versatile SS watches around.

Obviously this boils down to personal preference. Do you want the Daytona the most over any of the other references? If the answer is yes, then go for it. If not, then perhaps Option 2 is the more logical choice. As mentioned above, Option 2 still offers a PM Rolex.

I voted for Option 2, but would be equally satisfied with Option 1.

firstOwatch · 8 October 2016, 09:15 AM

Been wearing ONE watch for almost a month, I prefer to pick the very best for my daily lifestyle!

Think hard and pick the one you love the most

If you love them ALL ! Nothing wrong with that !

Peterandwatches · 8 October 2016, 09:18 AM

I like a small collection of watches over just one super piece.

Zilla99 · 8 October 2016, 09:53 AM

Variety. 3 over 1 for this guy.

not if the 16628 goes for $11'200 full set

brmeyers · 8 October 2016, 10:01 AM

Tough call, but I would go with option b) since there is a PM there. If it was a SS Yachmaster, I would have done a).

AK797 · 8 October 2016, 10:04 AM

Big RG Daytona fan, I'd then add the GMTc.

I like that: "watch your thoughts"
For me that means being enlightened or more aware that our thoughts and ourselves are two...
Mindfulness meditation taught me that lol!!!

AF_Rob · 8 October 2016, 10:08 AM

I like the YM, but not in YG. If I could swap it for a WG Daytona on leather (similar money) I'd do it.
