So what should I do......?

  1. 18K gold.....cool watch, not gaudy like a Diamond President.

  2. Two tone.......cool watch, low key is better.

  3. Something else, Rolex's are for posers.......

    Also heard a rumor from my local jeweler last week that rolex was going to 'upgrade' the bracelet on the current sub in the next 6 months or so which might effect the price on some of the used market.

    I have a collection of watches from Tag-Heuer to Cartier to Omega to Rolex to Locman and I find my Rolex Submariner to be the one I wear the most. It is just a great everyday watch...and I even wear it when I SCUBA dive; although my dive computer now does what once once done via a dive watch plus a whole lot more...

    Asking which watch to get is a little like asking which girl to date. Everyone is going to have their idea of the best for them.

    I'm convinced that watches over $100 are just "man jewelry". They don't keep better time than a Timex and you can get all kinds of functions for under $100. So, when I want to wear a watch, it's pretty much the only thing I wear with metal.

    That said, you should get the 18k version. Why? Because you said you liked it and want it. I've never been disappointed in a watch I've purchased because it's special to me. Each of us here put on a watch that they like and fits them figuratively and literally. I guarantee you will be happiest with the one that wasn't a compromise.

    I'm very fond of my watches and they typically become conversation starters as people notice them. I appreciate meeting new people, and a watch that has a little of you in it makes it easy.

    Good luck

    at what price point does a "watch" become a "timepiece"?

    I also have two Daytonas and I wear my steel/gold everyday. There is something about Daytonas, can't beat them.

    Heading to Bonaire tomorrow to dive for a week and taking the Submariner although I agree that it is a little unnecessary to wear it when using a dive computer. Still fun to have it on though!

    It seems like every time I see a picture of a Sea Dweller on a forum (twice now) someone is right behind him saying it's a fake. Is this an ongoing joke, or is every Sea Dweller fake?

    If 2010 is the year that Rolex finally come out with a PVD or DLC, then I am in. That black "Rolecks" looks great. Too bad the dollar is crapping so the British Pro Hunter version is ridiculously expensive..

    just my opinion
