    Triton,
    do u mean 'lack' instead of 'like' in (1)? if not, then I think can add
    (5) What do you lack in your collection?

    I agree with your qns but to me these only applies if one is trying to build a watch collection.

    Else, buyer could also ask him/herself
    1) How often do you intend to wear the watch
    2) How this watch meets (1) requirement and will it complement the kind of dressing style
    3) What would be his/her prefered strap, Leather or Bracelet.

    1) what do you like in your watch collection?
    2) a more traditional sporty type look or pilot look?
    3) chronograph or power reserve?
    4) bracelet or leather?

    think the above questions may help you decide which one to get first

            I have a few Rolex sports watches and SS Daytona has always been in my wishlist until i come across the Big Pilot (where the design is unique and looks loud on my wrist). I've no preference on chronograph or power reserve and bracelet or leather. The 2 watches are just too awesome in terms of looks and style.

            However one of the reasons i have owned a few Rolex sports watches are that they hold the value well and i dun get to lose too much when i decide to flip them when my taste starts to change along the way. If BP can hold the value well as compared to Rolex, guess i will pull the trigger. As of now it's 9 votes for Daytona and 3 for BP.
