Ouch.....!

The Pepsi was rolled over! LOL

But you're still left with two awesome pieces: 14060M and BLNR

The white DaytonaC and GMT BLRO is my ultimate duo for sure!

BLRO will come soon! When it does you just might think of a two watch collection LOL!!!

Now just wait and see what they have for next
Nice collection!

From those 5, if you had to choose and live with 2 watches....which 2?

Hmm, that's a tough one actually but I'd lean on keeping the hulk over the greytheme as the 44rg is obviously a must! The greytheme is a bit of a scratch magnet and as much as I've been able to ignore those scratches The hulk is just a relief and carefree to wear and the 44rg is on a league of it's own. But then again I've been considering trading my greytheme for a while for a full rg daytona or full gold blue sub but just isn't ready.

LOL Hahahahah.... i see you still have commitment issues trimming it down to two. Its hard without a doubt!

Lovely PAM!

Unfort in my “two watch” world my PAM would not make the cut

It would be super hard to give up my PAM911

If I was forced to reduce to two, I would keep the 16710 as the beater due to versatility and variation, and then go with the Patek Annual Calendar as the dress watch.

Hope I don’t ever have to make that decision.

I hope no us every have to make that decision!

Great duo with 16710 and the beautiful Patek. It would be hard to let the AP go without a doubt

Thanks! Daytona and BLRO just work perfectly for me and my lifestyle/work

That said, Sub and DJ are perfect for each other and would hit every occasion as well!!

Hard choices for sure given your collection but SD43 and SkyD are great 1-2 punch combo

Someone posted one on the 56 blue Automatic Date, not sure if it's an official one. I much prefer it on the leather strap instead.

It used to be my 116710 BLNR & 116520 BKK Daytona. It has now evolved into the pics you see here on the left, sadly both non-Rolex!

I'll choose a Daytona duo consisting of the black dial 116500 and the rose gold oysterflex 116505 chocolate dial. The SS version for elegant and dressy occasions and the gold version for fancy and sportier times.
