~*( Let's Play the Fantasy Bundling Game )*~

Here's how you play: The title is pretty self explanatory because your picks will determine who has the best know how in terms of Rolex watches...

Let's keep the choices with 5 and 6 digit references to keep it simple :)

Pick one SS model watch and PM model watch (also TT models) either both OP or Professional series

Let's see how many members think alike or have the same great taste because I'm kinda curious

I'll start my Fantasy Duo would be a (Sub Hulk + GMT II LV) and I would call this the SMASH Bros hehehe HULK SMASH!

Thanks for playing everyone!
Cheers

I think the OP is asking if you have to bundle a PM and a SS to get the SS you what, what two would you chose?

In which case I'll play and my two would be

PM - WG Daytona on Oyster bracelet with steel panda dial £28,850

SS - White dial Daytona C - £9,550.

Total spend £38,400

I would then immediately sell the SS Daytona (I'm not really a fan of the steel Daytonas - can't get past the asymmetric cases) for, say, £17,000

Net spend = £21,400 (equivalent to a 26% discount on the PM which is an otherwise impossible number in the UK at the moment)

Effectively I'd have a WG Daytona with a full bracelet for less than the WG Oysterflex, and not much more than grey market SS prices, brand new from an AD with my name on the card

(I know that would piss off the AD, but my own AD wouldn't make me bundle anyway so I'd be pissing off an AD with dubious business practices anyway )

Okay. I'll take a Cellini Moonphase if you can get me a Blue Sky-D.

Is the GMT II LV the PM watch?

I've never heard of that model.

I'm perfectly content with my Exp as my SS selection. For my PM selection I'd likely either go with a TT DJ41 or a YG DD40.

I really want an Everose DD 40 with the sundust dial so bundling works for me if it helps secure a white dial SS ceramic Daytona that is also on my wishlist.

Thanks to post #3 for clarifying.

I am in this exact predicament with AD. I chose WG GMT Master2 blue dial Pepsi and Pepsi SS Jubilee (or Daytona 500C White).

Actually not rotating either one right now
My SS go to, has been the 116710LN for awhile now. But....if made to choose only one....probably be the 116600. The ExpII is a touch large

Sensing a theme here...

The ADs require the tattoo be on a slightly lower appendage.

Not a problem at all. Sorry to disappoint you. There are some of us that have already achieved what we want. It's funny how the SD4K 116600 has shown up so frequently, btw.
