Ownning two versions of the same model. Will You?

[RolexSunday]

It all depends on how much you like them and how deep your pocket. If you have deep pockets just get every version there is! What other watches do you have? It is always good to have some variety.

Unfortunately, my pocket is only deep enough for another SS version.

Lastly, GMT is always a good and handy model. Though I own 116713LN, I feel 116710LN is always a versatile and classic model. You own regret.

Thanks breitling77, I kind of feel this way too, but spending too much money on watches is not my likings, therefore the dilemma.

Get a Daytona. Will look entirely different with chrono, vs other Rolex Sports models without.

Thanks, but I am not a Chrono lover... I think it looks too crowded on the dial... personal preference. Besides, when will I need to time something...

[RolexSunday]

They look different so I wld get them if I were you.

OKay...

SS for normal wear and TT or YG for formal or special occasion.

Thumbs up...

that's what polished center links are for - dress watch
need long sleeve to protect them

Thanks guys, I appreciated those that give out their opinions on my choices here. I will stop wearing my GMT TT starting tomorrow untill I got myself a SS version.

I saw the my GMT TT attracked too many scratches than my likings. I will keep it in the safe and only use it for dinner wear when I wear long sleeves shirts.

Is there anyway I can get the center links polished back to its original shinning state, i.e. without any hairline scratches. And how much is it going to cost me?? I just bought the piece two weeks ago, so only minor hairline scratches are visible. Thanks.

I think third party watch technicians can help to remove hairlines at a fee
Hairlines are unavoidable if you wear the watch
If you buy to keep in the safe without removing the stickers, you will never get hairlines

There is another way to prevent hairline scratches : to exchange the TT bracelet with rubber/croc. skin/leather strap. Retire the TT bracelet into the safe.

No problem. I can understand how you feel as all three are our hard earned money. To me, I treat it as a form of "investment" and keep it as a gift to my children in future. I feel by the time they buy, Rolex is going to be a super hard to reach brand. Nowadays even a simple SS submariner, explorer or GMT is already 5 figure. Anyway do get it if you can afford.

Haha, you sounded quite persuasive...

[skydweller_sg]

No but you can wrap the bracelet with clear plastic film before storing in the safe
Will never get a single hairline this way

haha... no I am not, but I think this is a fact.

Talk about inflation and currency depreciation

If you can afford it, why not? This is a hobby which is very addictive. ;-p
