Buy SS and have the comfort of knowing it will retain value or disregard value retention and purchase your PM grail.

Those are easy decisions for me: No Date Sub Batman Oyster on Sub, Jubilee on DJ & GMT Brushed on any sport model, PCLs on DJ Fluted SS because I don’t buy watches that cost > $10k Daytona is perfect size Modern, 6 digit watches AD Keep Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I guess this is keep or flip but I've got a 16600, 16610 and 14060m - I want to sell one of the three but can't decide which I like better/worse - hardest Rolex decision I've had to date

I have to say that I don't have problems with decisions when it comes to watches.
If I feel it and the money is in the bank, I buy. When I bought my first Rolex, I looked at the Air-King (114200)and it didn't look or feel quite right, so I asked to see the Explorer (114270) and I knew in an instant that that was the Rolex for me. Of course other Rolex and other watches have followed, but the same scenario applies. If it warms my heart and the money is in the bank, it's mine.

One missed is the 'Air king or Milgauss' question - the thinking amoungst the misguided being that the Airking is just a cheaper Milgauss... just with different dial, hands, bracelet, clasp, indicies, crystal etc
