I now have 2 watches that definitely don't share the same aesthetic (like most Rolex models do, good or bad) and am more than happy in wearing either depending on the mood that hits. I'd only add another Rolex if it was a SS Sky Dweller picked up at retail, but that hasn't happened yet; when it does the GMT will go and the PAM will stay.

So, the above said, if I had more than 1 Rolex in the stable I would move the least preferred model and upgrade that model to a PAM of choice. For me it was the PAM627, for you it might be the model in the poll.
Everyone has their own point of view, and thank you for yours.
I think that sharing aesthetics is a strength, because they remain different despite everything.
Nothing is identical between a GMT or Explorer II for example despite the similar complication, nothing is identical between a Sub or Sea-Dweller despite the fact that they are two divers, not to mention that the variation can also be in the materials (have the pleasure of having the steel version, and in gold or two-tone, not really the same thing either in rendering and wear).

So I chose the one that I would be ready to part with for a favorite PAM, the others are excluded and I find pleasure there and lots of differences as explained.
