What's next?

 
 By: schen : June 6th, 2008-09:30
This is my first post in this wonderful forum, and these are all the Rolex watches I currently have.
 

 
6210 Kew-A, the rarest watch (in a meaningful sense) I ever have - I consider myself very lucky.


 



6511 Early Dial, a very cool Rolex, especially against today's fashion smile

 


 1019 CERN Dial, the coolest and most practical watch I feel like at this moment




 1680 Meter First, my first pick among so many different Sub's, especially to fit the theme here

 Besides being Rolex, these watches also all have something in common. It should be obvious on the surface, literally. smile Contiueing on the theme, what should be the next? I only intend to keep it a small collection, as financially I have limited capacity. So probably only one or two more additions in the long run.

Probably most obvious choice: Daytona -- 16520 R or any Paul Newman SS, but I can't afford now
 
Probably most sensible choice: DRSD of later versions, but now that I already have Red Sub...
 
Probably most affordable choice: Yacht-Master SS; this seems most realistic
 
(Actually the most wanted is 6541, though I already have 1019. Unfortunately it's simply beyond my reach.)
 
What else? I'd like to hear your thoughts.
 
Thank you!  I have been lurking and learned a lot from many forumers here, and really appreciate the knowledge and insight from all of you.

Have a good weekend.

Amazing "Red" thematic collection !

Wow, these are all very rare birds !

Nothing left for you to hunt in the vintage production in a reasonable budget...maybe a manuel wound Daytona ?

The models that you mention in the modern market are interesting, a 16520 could indeed be a good choice.

Thanks Jeff for your kind words!

I guess I will give myself some time, to learn more and then decide what to go with next...

I have seen some very nice examples here recently. Look forward to more -- it may help me discover my next. smile

Yes I am in love with my 1019, for its robustness (essentially everything-proof), interesting history and scientific background.

You are right, the good news for me is the YM is within reach at least at the moment, before it's discontinued. smile

And you'd better grab one before people realize the interest of this watch, IMO.
