I leaned out my collection as I lunched biz in 2015. Now I'm going to spend a smidgen on some pieces ($15k-$16k).

Below are my combos - all used... I know I want at least some gold. Let me know what you think.

Combo #1
1) Two-tone sub blue/gold $7k
2) Breitling Chronomat $4k
3) Panerai Radiomir or 90 $5k
total $16k

Combo #2
1) Gold Sub with blue face $14k
2) Not much else for $2k haha

Clearly combo #1 is more pieces. So I suppose the real question is whether the solid gold is worth 2x the two tone in presence!

I like option 2,

But, if I had 15 K, I'd probably go for a couple nice steel Rolex pieces, or an AP 15400. Depends what your collection looks like now.

WJGESQ · 29 December 2016, 10:48 AM

Forget the non Rolex options.

I'm with this. Not on your list, but 15k should buy a nice non-date sub and an Exp or GMT...

cdmorenot · 29 December 2016, 10:57 AM

If you buy right you can get a GMT LN , SUB C and DJ 36

I am shocked to hear so much would opt for the 1 more expensive piece than going for a rather nice two tone AND two more pieces.

Curious why so much incremental love for the gold Sub over two tone gold?

pain888 · 29 December 2016, 11:07 AM

LOL. This a Rolex forum. Go figure. LOL
Also option 1 have other brands involve.

kilyung · 29 December 2016, 11:08 AM

Need I say more?

Evoking · 29 December 2016, 11:08 AM

Oh and regarding collection I have:

1920's gold Mathey Tissot thin profile dress watch. Looks like a Patek
1960's Wakmann sport watch. It is a German company that had Breitling make them
that's it.

The problem with the GMT LN , SUB C and DJ 36 suggestion is that there would be no Gold (unless the Date is really ragged) and also its all Rolly. Don't you guys believe in diversification? Dress watches etc?

Beautiful. But here's another question. Since gold is softer than steel do they look old and beat up faster?

Na, no diversity for me lol. I ventured into other brands, albeit briefly, and went right back to Rolex.

I'll stay there until I can afford Patek and Lange.

You can get a little gold with a DJ :D

Option 2 hands down!

fullcourt · 29 December 2016, 11:48 AM

wouldn't buy the 90....would go with the 2 tone sub and a 372 and have a few $$'s left over

sickened1 · 29 December 2016, 11:49 AM

Option 2 and for a few hundreds more you could get a Tudor Black Bay as a beater.

Where do you find that watch for that price? That is incredibly cheap! Buy it if you can geez, wouldn't think twice.

Your not getting this for 15k that's for sure.

Just buy what you like. When the time comes, buy another

Even if you get the older 16618 it's going to be more than $15k. I'd rather get a 116613lb and a ss subC or gmt.

mschafer · 29 December 2016, 12:32 PM

Usage, then color. Make a list, check it twice and start collecting. Seems you need a diver and a chrono. I would go steel Sub or better SD4k and save for a YG Daytona. Have fun, don't pull any hairs and enjoy the journey...
