Two Casios, I’m not sure…

But for THESE two, you just may wanna make an exception

Can two of these exist in the same collection?

Looking for feedback from fellow forum members. Following the extremely fortunate opportunity to get a 26585CE I am now wondering if this and the original 26579CE can co-exist in the same collection. I understand the history and the importance of the 2657...
Thanks for the feedback!

I guess the way I think of it - is that if I have a hankering for a ceramic perpetual, it seems that naturally I will go for the skeleton one. They are different but I am not able to pull of double wristed yet!! Cheers Peter
Good point!

I do on occasion get two examples of things that I really like - the difference in the dial alone may make it easier. Cheers Peter
Honestly, no. So pick your favorite and sell me the other!

Ha ha, kidding if course. I actually prefer the solid dial as I feel it is my only hope to read with aging eyes. On topic, I would seriously keep one and choose something different in place of the other. It's a great situation to contemplate!
Thanks for your thoughts...

I am leaning slightly to trade up with the original ceramic perpetual, simply because, except for legibility, the skeleton is a nice upgrade on multiple fronts - skeletonization as well as finishing is another level. Cheers Peter
Tough question 🤔
By: ArmisT : August 21st, 2022-23:23
I’m initially inclined to agree with Michael, although there is a case to be made for them be different enough to keep both. In the final analysis, if I had to make the decision for myself then I know my mind would highlight the key differences and end up...
Thank you...

I do think there is enough differentiation to warrant them both, but I realized I have not worn my original model since receiving the skeleton. It used to be my go-to ceramic, so hence thinking this way. Cheers Peter
No

For me, no

But it sounds like you have a special interest in the material/history of its use. So for you, I would say yes!
Thanks good point!
By: pfang56 : August 22nd, 2022-22:33
That maybe one of the main reasons to keep the original model - as it represents a key milestone in AP's use of ceramics. Cheers Peter

Don’t break our chops. We would kill for either of them, both gorgeous
Fair enough...
By: pfang56 : August 22nd, 2022-22:34
Sorry for that.... Cheers Peter
Both are superb.

If you like however diversity in your collection you could let one go.
What kind of collector are you?
By: rip9er : August 22nd, 2022-09:11
The dials are both busy, dial colors both have a silver tone and the case/ bracelet is identical. So From a esthetic point of view the watches are almost identical. So are you the type of collector that likes the watch so much you’d have multiple versions...
It's all down the rabbit hole...
By: pfang56 : August 22nd, 2022-22:39
I've always appreciated diversity. I do have a salmon perpetual in titanium as well, but that is substantially different. Cheers Peter
Ha ha ha
By: pfang56 : August 22nd, 2022-22:39
Casios are fantastic Cheers Peter
So...in the end...
By: pfang56 : August 25th, 2022-14:37
Keeping them both. Thanks for all of the feedback!!! I tried a Concept - beautiful watch but a little big on the wrist...hoping to see a 42mm in the future Cheers Peter ...
