If you're offering, I'll take the white gold BLRO. Thanks in advance.

I would prefer to have the WG BLRO out of those four watches. But, I wouldn't trade the three SS for one WG. The SS watches have more value right now.

If it's a Boolean choice though, I'll go with option 2.

I'd trade 2 plus cash for the 116719 and then do the blue dial swap. Save yourself some cash.

Prob keep the lvc.

Option 1, but flip the BLNR and SD4k towards a new SS BLRO.

Option 2, of course. Not even close.

I'll go ahead and get my flame suit on.

There's too much green on the LV-C for my tastes, I just can't get warmed up to the blue/black bezel of the BLNR, and I find the SD4k to be, well...underwhelming. There, I said it.

Now, in all seriousness, OP...it's all about what YOU like. There's actually two questions here. Which watch do you like best, and are you a one watch guy? The answer to both lies with you.

Whether or not I am a one watch guy is the $36k question...

I may be in the minority here but I would choose option 2. PM watches are EXPENSIVE and at least if you had the WG GMT then further down the road the road you could obtain one of the listed SS models at a price that wouldn't break the bank.

I think the answer is option 1 and add a PM down the line. I romanticize the idea of being a one watch guy but just don’t think it’s in my DNA at this time. I would like to keep a manageable collection so I have been good at making sure I only own watches I wear. I think I will start wearing a single watch for 2-3 weeks at a time so that I can make sure to appreciate each one. I think changing daily makes it harder for me to bond with them.

Option 1. I love the Pepsi but WG scratches too easy and I do prefer the black dial. I love the new SS one and will wait for the call to get 1. For as much as I'll want to wear it, I thing SS is the way to go.

Good to know that WG is more scratch prone. Thanks! On a side note, how do you like your 116613ln? I know the bluesy gets most of the fanfare but I am drawn to the LN.

Option 2 and one extra watch

Option 1, is cool, but none of them are special

Talk to the PM owners on this forum. All the talk about gold scratching is way overdone. My experience is that my gold watches wear almost identically to my steel watches.

In other words, don't believe everything you read.

Correct thoughts here. You would have regretted flipping the 3 you have for 1. Save for the WG and enjoy the wait. Once you have the watch you seek it’s on to thinking of the next. YMMV

The SD4K is the watch I’d keep out of all the options, nice as they all are. So option 1.
