What PM Is Best?
Hi,
I’m contemplating putting in an order for a PM piece for delivery sometime in 2021. I’ve narrowed it down to two choices (I think)... I currently don’t have a Sub, but expect the new Cermit at some point. I have a SS Daytona 116500LN in my collection. I strongly prefer a full PM piece as opposed to the Daytona on OF. Not because I don’t like the OF - it’s beautiful and a great watch. But I think the full PM is something better fitting in my collection. So, I’m interested in hearing from the board what model they prefer, and why:

You’re totally right. I rephrased the question

Between these two I'd personally much rather have the sub. The all-gold Bluesey is beyond stunning in person.

I have a Batman so I have the GMT complication.
The Pepsi Meteorite doesn’t do it for my tastes (personal preference), and I feel that watch has gotten ahead of itself and isn’t likely an option from my AD anyway.

Sounds like you have a GMT already but I’m going to ditto the Everose Gold GMT Master II. That piece is absolutely beautiful, and if there’s one PM Rolex I’d get it’d be this one.
I personally don’t like the Daytona in PM unless it has a ceramic bezel, but those are only available on the Oysterflex as you already noted. Daytona PM bezel looks very vintage to me, and it can really get scratched up. Otherwise the new sub in WG is awesome as well. The watch is amazing, and if you like WG then that’s a good choice. I’d rather not spend the money on WG given I can’t tell the difference between WG and SS, except that it’s heavier which isn’t a plus to me. Lastly - Everose Gold Skydweller. Never seen one in the metal but looks really nice. |

Between those two, I’d go with the sub. That said, I agree with the comments suggesting you look at models outside of your current collection, i.e., DD40 and GMT. A little variety is always nice.

Why no DD40 option? If anything, that's the most common full PM piece. Pure class

If this pic doesn’t make your mind up for you, then I don’t know what will. Damn that’s such a badass watch! Makes me question my decision to spend more money and get full gold instead of two tone bluesy.

Daytona. That particular one is stunning in person and pairs up well with your stainless version.
