The mentioned Journe is one that I seriously considered when buying the 1815 Chrono. I really loved the uniqueness, and those numerals!! 5170 would be over the budget, unfortunately... |

After going through everybody's ideas here, flipping both the BLNR and one DaytonaC for a PP is one move I'm seriously considering at the moment, although, 5712 would be completely out of reach... Maybe a 5396? What other PPs would you suggest in the "BLNR+DaytonaC" range? |

I do like Rolex, and a Day Date has been on my radar for some time. Reading all the great suggestions, I am keeping the Hulk for now! |

The JLC Master Ultra Thin Perpetual Calendar in steel with black dial is one that I will be considering, and it is reassuring to hear the value of the watch from you. What do you think about selling the black Daytona and the GMT for a Annual Calendar Patek, possibly a 5396g? Regarding the Cellini Moonphase, I completely agree with your thoughts. There are so many good things about the watch (it's such a beautiful watch!), but considering the price point, looking at Patek and Lange would be my move as well. Lange Saxonia Moonphase is a watch I really like. However, this might sound very strange, but this watch is one that my best friend is lusting after for years, and his mind is set to acquire it when he has the funds. Therefore, I wouldn't want to be a owner of the watch out of respect to him. Nevertheless, a superb timepiece for sure. How many pieces do you have in your collection? It may be rude my asking, but I would love to see your collection! |

The white Daytona and 114060 would be a great combo for sure, and adding a PM complicated Patek with the cash from selling the 3 Rolex could be really awesome. 5167 is something I have always lusted after, but since this would be my first Patek, maybe I should choose a dress piece, either a Calatrava or one with a complication. 3940 is magnificent, and definitely one I will consider. What are your thoughts on the 5396? Or maybe a 5146? |

Assuming you could get one at MSRP (a huge “if”), an Aquanaut is the closest fit, but I personally would stretch for a 5711 or 5212. If a dress Calatrava is what you would like, depending on which one and the age, you might only need to flip the BLNR, or flip both for more budget/options. Anyway, I’m far from a Patek expert, and the sub-forum on TRF could give you much better input I’m sure. |

Re the 5396 and 5146 I have to admit that I am not a big fan of the ACs as I tend to be very black and white - the ACs are in the grey area between basic Calatravas and PCs. I also prefer the dial design of the PCs over the ACs (the 5320 (3448/3450) layout over the 5396 and the 3940 layout over the 5146). Specifically on the 5396 I'd want a date ring instead of the date window plus 24h ring. If there has to be a date window I'd want the same font size as the day and month windows up top. Lastly the subdial should be smaller or lower to avoid the axle for the hands going through the 24... |

I think that letting go of your black Daytona and your GMT to purchase a calendar moonphase would be a fine idea. I don't really see a reason to own a black ceramic Daytona in addition to a white ceramic Daytona in a smaller collection unless you really love the watch. The BLNR is a nice piece too but you could always replace it at a later date with the new version for some bracelet diversity or a BLRO for some additional color. As for my collection, I have around a dozen pieces, about half of which are dress watches, mainly from Lange, Vacheron, Patek, and JLC, and about half of which are sport watches from Rolex, Omega, and Breitling. A dozen seems to be a good number for me, although I would probably aim for fewer watches if I was to start over, and there are few pieces on my want list (Vacheron and Rolex) as well as a few pieces that I've considered selling, one of which is the IWC Portuguese. I always recommend quality over quantity but variety is also important. Also, if you can envision your realistic end-game collection, you will save a lot of money and regret. |

If it were me I would get rid of the dark dial Daytona and go for a PP or AP that you really like. I like IWC but if you keep the Hulk you do not need the second submariner.
