SS for me. I'm under 30 and I would feel uncomfortable wearing any PM except for maybe a WG bezel.
Everything at it's time. I'm already very gratefull that I own my two most desirable SS pieces for me personaly at my age.

SS followed by solid PM the two tone. Although I must say my wife’s recently acquired two tone PM DJ is gorgeous and have started to look at the idea of a two tone in a new light.

I am on the hunt for a SS Exp II Polar next to match my chuck taylors and then either WG DD 40 olive or RM 16 Ti by year end.

I do not base my choices on material but I will say that PT is too heavy for me and I can’t do that again.

2 tone GMT Ceramic
Pulling the trigger; it looks amazing in person and it's going to draw some attention. Also i think it's less likely to be assumed fake since it's 2 tone... Im 26 and people in my city don't really wear nice watches.

I voted PM because... well it’s who I am. As for what I’d get, I have most of the models or at least the ones that interest me so staying as is until Basel.

SS because I can't afford PM and TT isn't really my style.

I like the look of stainless steel better. Harder metal, providing a tool watch look and feel.

7% TT! No wonder the resale on them is so poor these days.

I'd go for a Wimbledon DJ 41. Just need something that is a hard turn from a sub.

I voted for the stainless steel assuming I could find it which is least likely given the unattainablilty of the watch ⌚

Always PM if money is not a factor in your scenario.

SS. Best value to dollar ratio for what you have to pay to what residuals are. I own PM watches and while I love them they are not the best for purchase and resale. SS is another story.

I prefer stainless steel.

Same watch same movement, I do not understand the price premium for another metal.

I already got the diver, a 116660 that is and forever will be my daily h24 7/7 watch, but I would like to have a Daytona, so:
116500 white
or
116508 Newman Dial
:)
