Which second gold Rolex would you choose?
Hello gang!
So I have begun considering adding another gold rolex to my collection. I currently have the Rose Gold DD2 with the chocolate dial, and I have the Yellow Gold Daytona on a leather strap. Love them both, but I find myself wanting either a YG GMT 2C (green dial), or a YG bluesy sub, or a RG Daytona on the oyster bracelet. I am also thinking about a YG Daytona on the oyster bracelet. (I know, I know, I'm a "Daytona-head"! lol) I am not really interested in any white gold pieces at this time, and my ULTIMATE grail is the Platona, but I am not ready to make that purchase yet. Any thoughts, advice, recommendations are welcome, especially from forum members who have several gold Rolexes in their collections, but anyone can chime in. Purchase time would be around Christmas this year. Thanks!!

Wouldn't that mean "third" gold Rolex?
Well a WG Smurf would fit right in for a happy family trio. But understand your reluctance... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I stand corrected! True, it would be "my" third, but my wife has commandeered my YG Daytona... lol

Sub. It is slightly chunkier than the GMT and the glide lock clasp seals the deal. No brainer for me as I had the GMT II with the green dial and just flipped it after 2 years because I grew tired of that dial.

considering your current & outstanding collection of watches...maybe channel the resources into something far more productive & lucrative?

since you asked...maybe consider investing in high quality/location-specific commercial or residential real estate, purchase a true 'vintage/collectible' automobile (if of interest), become a patron of the arts (or a progressive education program) or take up a new & fulfilling hobby/recreational outlet etc. the list goes on...your call.
if you've already accomplished some (or most) of those things, congratulations...chances are, adding another expensive watch would be anti-climactic at this point. |

So far the YG blue sub seems to be at the forefront....

Many thanks my friends, I traded the DD2 for a Nautilus but in the same colours. As the Blue is in the lead here's a nice pic.
