1. A brand new SS Rolex - remember, SS only - any model, except the SS Daytona!!

2. A week at the Royal Hilton with a gorgeous lady...all expenses paid.....and a brand new OMEGA Seamaster at the end of it all.

3. A full day at a Formula One race track with Alonso + a chance to drive TEN laps around the track in a Formula One car + a brand new OMEGA Speedmaster at the end of it all.

Gentlemen, take your pick - remember, only ONE!!

Its gotta be #1 no contest - cause,
#2 - The wife would either kill me or the settlement would!!
#3 - I'd prob end up killing myself !!

Self preservation and a Rolex ..... the only winner to me

A wise, WISE decision, my friend!

Too bad, though. It's a killer, isn't it?!?

If that is the pit crew, I am changing my mind, and vote for #3.
How about a combo pack of the pit crew, in the Hilton, for a week. Don't even have to throw in the Omega, or any expenses, 'cause you probably wouldn't make it out of the room.

Indeed! I have always contended that. I have quite often responded with multiple smilies (emos) and no text at all. Very expressive they are!

One could argue that because you are getting married you'd better take 2

Option #1. SS GMT II Master-ceramic. Why? Why not? Can have nice hotel room and a woman any old time. Have no interest in driving on a Formula I racetrack. SO.....am looking forward to Option #1. Now, where's that watch?

Gotta go with Option #3. C'mon boys we're talking a Formula 1 car....the only thing better would be a ride in an F-18. Then I would sell the Omega and use that cash towards a new Rolex (before I get flamed I realize it would only cover a down payment).

I am a little surprised that #3 is so popular. Let's face it, all three watches are fantastic. My answer would be based on what I most want to add to my collection at the time. Right now, I would go for the Rolex, #1. My 2nd choice would be #2 because I have been considering adding a Seamaster. My next choice would be number 3, I have been thinking about adding a 50th Anniversary Speedmaster to my collection. For me, I am not particularly attracted to any of the deal sweeteners and would decide based only on which watch was the higher priority at the time.

I'd go with #1 and pick up a SD. Always wanted to be part of the 4000 club.

I'll go for #1. #2 and I'd be a dead man, would pick #3 if it was a top fuel dragster; best 4 seconds ever.

#1. I can use a Rolex.

#2. Pass. I'd rather go on vacation with my wife wife and kids.

#3. Pass. I'm more into American muscle cars and trucks.

It is also one helluva nice Rolex!

I am just getting more and more tempted by the new GMT IIc, though, so I might flip my SD.

Sorry for the
