Hello gang!
So I have begun considering adding another gold rolex to my collection.
I currently have the Rose Gold DD2 with the chocolate dial, and I have the Yellow Gold Daytona on a leather strap. Love them both, but I find myself wanting either a YG GMT 2C (green dial), or a YG bluesy sub, or a RG Daytona on the oyster bracelet. I am also thinking about a YG Daytona on the oyster bracelet.
(I know, I know, I'm a "Daytona-head"! lol) I am not really interested in any white gold pieces at this time, and my ULTIMATE grail is the Platona, but I am not ready to make that purchase yet.
Any thoughts, advice, recommendations are welcome, especially from forum members who have several gold Rolexes in their collections, but anyone can chime in. Purchase time would be around Christmas this year. Thanks!!

Wouldn't that mean "third" gold Rolex?

Well a WG Smurf would fit right in for a happy family trio. But understand your reluctance...

Hey Abdon, after my RG DD2 I added a Blue Subc and then the GMTc. All terrific watches.

I stand corrected! True, it would be "my" third, but my wife has commandeered my YG Daytona... lol

That's an awesome trio! My RG DD2 is the same one you have!

GMT with green dial

westinghouse · 7 July 2016, 09:28 AM

Sub. It is slightly chunkier than the GMT and the glide lock clasp seals the deal. No brainer for me as I had the GMT II with the green dial and just flipped it after 2 years because I grew tired of that dial.

considering your current & outstanding collection of watches...maybe channel the resources into something far more productive & lucrative?

if you've already accomplished some (or most) of those things, congratulations...chances are, adding another expensive watch would be anti-climactic at this point.

Good advice. Thank you! However, adding a new watch to the collection is NEVER anti-climactic

!!! I usually research, build up, purchase and ENJOY!!! Always rewarding!

Abdon · 7 July 2016, 11:57 AM

So far the YG blue sub seems to be at the forefront....

Many thanks my friends, I traded the DD2 for a Nautilus but in the same colours. As the Blue is in the lead here's a nice pic.
