agreed!
I ended up buying a rolex datejust then saving up for my Black Bay :)
The pelagos is on hold till a later date.
In the future if I get a management position with a nice office, I would love to get a gold JLC dress watch with moon phase

You've made a wise move. Congrats mate.

amh · 28 April 2017, 11:14 PM

I got a Pelagos first and then a GMT. If you have an itch, you must scratch it - don't scratch some other part.

If you go with your proposed plan, I suspect you'll end up selling them within a year to buy a Rolex.

JayB · 28 April 2017, 11:14 PM

I'd go for the Sub, just can't get my head round the snowflake hand on the Tudors.

Oyster Al · 29 April 2017, 12:01 AM

One wrist. One Rolex.

Loevhagen · 29 April 2017, 12:28 AM

After trying Tudor and liked it in the beginning, I sold it - so 1 Rolex > 2 Tudors.

sea-dweller · 29 April 2017, 01:55 AM

Congrats!

sensui · 29 April 2017, 02:08 AM

I'd buy what you like more....if the Rolex sings more..then go that way. Having two watches you'd want to wear less is not a plus.

locutus49 · 29 April 2017, 02:14 AM

I'd buy the watch that I loved and that would hold its value best. For me it would be the Sub Date.

Oh yes, I'd have one Rolex all day long over five Tudors, let alone two.

Datejust? Where?

Another one bites the dust for a DATEJUST Model YES !!!!

Congrats!

I'll take the square one first / Tudor later

The Libertine · 29 April 2017, 03:39 AM

Must be a trick question...

...the Rolex, of course.

Rocco21 · 29 April 2017, 05:00 AM

One rolex

DCheeta · 29 April 2017, 05:18 AM

One of what you really want is always better than any number of what you kind of want.

Go Rolex.

Brainh18 · 29 April 2017, 06:20 AM

One Rolex. Followed by another Rolex in a year or two when funds allow. Buy once, cry once.

dr35mm · 29 April 2017, 06:34 AM

1 Rolex is all you need, especially when we are talking about a Submariner.

rossi46 · 29 April 2017, 06:48 AM

Bill Simmons used to write "never trade a dollar for four quarters" in terms of making a sports trade (don't trade 1 superstar athlete for >1 lesser players). I think the same concept applies here, albeit in reverse.

Don't get two watches that would "add up" to the one watch you'd want instead.

Jarton · 29 April 2017, 07:11 AM

Congrats.

Twin1 · 29 April 2017, 07:19 AM

Sub..

maton12 · 29 April 2017, 09:24 AM

Pelagos Blue and Bronze

Or BLNR or try to stretch to SS Blue Skydweller

The more watches you have, the less wrist time they all get...

I'd just take the single Rolex in your case. As a previous Pelagos owner, it just didn't feel as special as the Sub.

This.

And of course, this.

sickened1 · 29 April 2017, 11:52 AM

I would get 1 Rolex and 1 Tudor (perhaps a Sub ND and a Black Bay).

Don't mind the Explorer in there.

zaydans · 29 April 2017, 01:14 PM

Doesn't matter how many tudors or other brands you choose they aren't Rolex. I spent years and went through many watches trying to stave the Rolex urge until finally realized I should bite the bullet and get a Rolex. Once I itched that scratch pretty much everything else in the collection became redundant.

JD521 · 29 April 2017, 01:47 PM

One Rolex...not even a question in my opinion.

Old Expat Beast · 29 April 2017, 01:51 PM

BB (ETA red or black) and Pelagos LHD.

Mastergreenhand · 29 April 2017, 01:56 PM

I'd get the Rolex. The Tudor will be easier to save for at a later date. (and just get one)?
