A visit to my AD

Good day everyone

Paid a visit to my local AD and had a chance to try on a few different watches.

I currently have a Sub C, a TT GMT, and a ceramic BLRO.

Wanting a full gold watch, I was offered the rose gold gmt, the yellow gold daytona on oyster flex, and the Daydate.

Which one you think looks best on the wrist with my skin tone?
Never been a fan of daytonas but this one started singing when I put it on.

That ceramic kermit is for a customer waiting collection.

WG DD or YG Daytona. I think, personally, the RG GMT is too much pink. I have the CHNR and love the blend.

I would go with either the Daytona or DD as both look fine on your wrist.

In addition you don't have either style of watch in your collection so getting one of these would enhance the watch box.

I think so too. I already have two GMTs and adding one more would be redundant. Also, the rose gold looked awkward to me. I guess it takes time getting used to.

I would vote DD (second vote for GMT). The OF unfortunately does not look like it belongs on same level with these comparison pics (and I own an OF version!).

Daytona without question because you don't have one and it's gorgeous. You already have a Sub and GMT.....get the Daytona please. You will love it!

wow, so nice that your local AD had all of those for you to choose from. my local AD got only DJ in their store and don't even have the 41mm DJ for me to try on.

i would go for the Daytona with Oyster flex.

The DD looks great on you.

How the heck did the AD have those in stock simultaneously?! You must be a vvip customer

Daytona for sure, much more wearable and just pops. White gold also v wearable but just doesn't have that wow factor, whereas the daytona has both
