well since you already have a GMT and a DJ my suggestion would be WG/YG SubC or a WG/YG/RG Daytona. Never really been a fan of the day dates.

Just a heads up, if this is a serious consideration: the rose gold Daytona got updated this year, and now has a ceramic bezel overlay. I don't know if that's an addition to the catalog, or if it replaces the all-metal bezel style. At any rate, it might be something worth checking out. I think it looks very nice, although I would prefer it with a bracelet; so far, it's only available on a strap. See their website.

My own preference for a gold Rolex would be the white gold Sub-C with blue dial and bezel. Stunning and tasteful. Another top choice is the white gold Daytona with black dial and red accents. Obviously I prefer white gold, so take my suggestions for what they're worth.

If you want a rolex, you might as well buy one soon since there is a 5% price increase coming on October 1.

Well that's a relief. I was beginning to worry they were becoming affordable. :roll:

EDIT: On a less sarcastic note, I can't believe that when the Sub-C came out last year, it listed at around $7200. By the time I started checking it out last November, it was up around $7400. It now lists at $8000, and with a 5% increase will be selling at $8400. These increases are unreal.

Even more staggering is the difference from the 16610, which was $6000 right before the 116610 came out.

i don't like the ceramic bezel on the daytona, i think the metal bezels ones will hold value, much like the zenith movement ones do, i think it looks nicer
