Present collection:
-Rolex GMT 2c LN
-IWC portuguese blue hands
-Vintage SS Rolex datejust jubilee bracelet fluted bezel slate dial

I think the CK2998 makes a sweet addition to your collection, which follows a thread of classicism.

Question: which Portuguese model is it?

The dark side is amazing...but the ck (either version) is something special. I vote ck2998.

Already have the GMT IIc LN. Alot of members would say to pay down debt befroe buying any luxurious purchase, but I got a great deal on it when the BLNR craze was peaking. Every watch i bought was at a milestone point, graduating, turning 30, first major job, etc. BUT paying off the student loans is something I have been hustling hard for, and think a "speedmaster" would be appropriate!

Of those two, the 2998 would be my choice. Based only on size.

But I'd start with a birth year speedy pro. :). It's been hustling as long as you have - and you both are making great strides in terms of "value appreciation!" - heh!
