Slowly going nuts. List so far is:
1) Zenith Daytona, S/H
2) Vintage Daytona, S/H
3) Patek annual calendar, platinum, new
4) Patek annual calendar, white gold, new
5) Patek perpetual calendar, platinum, S/H
6) A.Lange & Sohne 1 fuseaux horaires, platinum, new

  1. 1 clearly a lot cheaper, but likely to increase in value.
  2. 2 Couldn't wear daily but will increase in value and it's cool
  3. 3/4 would lose a bit, but would gain slowly and nice and subtle.
  4. 5 a bit thin which looks slightly g*y, but movement to die for
  5. 6 almost a bit big but limited edition and a nice complication
So, which one?

Get the one you are most likely to actually wear the most

I'd agree with that but....also the Zenith Daytona is a good punt AND probably the most wearable.

Or why not wear a vintage Daytona daily if you aren't hard on your watch?

I don't know what you already wear, I'll guess it's something nice.

How aboutone one of these?

The patek 5070 shown in Platinum, a nicer complication than the Annual/Perps...cloud9




Or a delicious Datograph....



Anyway you look at it, a nice dilema....

Thought about wearing the vintage Daytona daily, but my watch dealer talked me out of it. I feel I need to do the Patek thing but find it hard to appreciate their style. Although there are a couple of watches that I could cope with. The Lang is not something I considered before but really starting to get into them.

I have other watches that I can wear daily but I have had special occasion watches before and it is just a waste not to wear them. So, new watch has to be able to stand day-day use.
