Been thinking lately...

I have a 311 that will be arriving this Wednesday. It has taken me several months to pay for the watch because my business has been tough over the summer, now that it's finally picking up again I can afford to pay it off and actually wear the watch. I've been thinking lately that since I have a fairly high end Pam in my 233 that I might flip the brand new 311 and get a 351 and 113 instead. Granted I've yet to see the 311 on the wrist but not sure I need to be wearing a $20k+ watch when I could have two more Pams and still have money in my pocket. What do you all think? Keep it or flip and buy two others?

Only you know what's best for you. If you say business is tough, maybe the money is best left in the bank...?

to me, that's a no-brainer. the 311 is a 233 with a chronometer function, while the 351 will get you the clean tobacco dial titanium 1950s case with gold hands & date and the 113 will get you a crisp white dial to mix things up.

i don't know what your take is on rads, but, since you would have two luminors (233 and 113), you could consider a rad like the 424 or 425 for roughly the same as the 351. that way, you get rad + 47mm + gold hands. while the 424 or 425 aren't pure DNA panerais, neither is the 351, so, i'm assuming you could be okay with that. if you go 448/449/249, you're looking at more money....

or, instead of 424/425, maybe the 210? with or without the gold hands mod. now that i think about it more, 233 + 113 + 210 is a pretty sweet trio....

I agreed 100%.

However, different people have different definition of what "tough" really is.

Well, things were fine when I committed to buying the watch so there was no backing out of it once I put money down. I have a very patient broker whom I buy all of my watches from. When I say tough I mean I was close to going out of business, it was pretty dire.

I think your broker would understand. A watch shouldn't bring hardship
