How do YOU decide?
I have been re-bitten by the bug recently and when I go to my watchmaker (almost every day because he gets new vintage watches every day) I can't stop buying from him (that's another story) but I recently acquired a bunch of new stuff. Usually when I get a new watch I just get ONE, and I where that ONE more often because its new. Now I just got a bunch.So I want to wear ALL of them!!! How do you decide what to wear?!?!?! I am switching between watches every hour! I have these for my new ones and want to wear all of them for different reasons! How do you decide what to wear?

My 4th Omega in 3 months?
It all stared a couple of months ago when I sold my Omega America's Cup on TZ to Charlie Hustle (who is VERY happy with it!) I then purchased a beautiful Aqua Terra white face with rose gold markers on TZ and I really liked that beautiful co-axial movement I admired through the exhibition caseback but it just did not smile at me... sold it again on TZ and then it was time to buy the classic SMP Chrono which I got almost like new you guessed it... on TZ. I was looking for another classic to add to my humble collection when along came Dapper Dan with a GMT 50th Anniversary for sale on TZ... which I am now the proud owner of!Here are the pics guys hope you like them and more will follow once the watch is in my possession... Omega has definitely become my new obsession!

Incoming- new to PP family!
....Had a busy day between client meetings and nonstop communications with Oscar (Bodybump) who was able to amazingly find me a BNIB 5167 on strap(Thank you for the hard work to source the piece, and putting up with me!) Said goodbye to my AP Diver (much love- time to move on-but could come back to the collection someday). A 5167 and DSSD is a fine balance for now.....and should be wearing a 5167 for my flight Thursday night! (if it makes it in time between leaving client site and flying out for the weekend.... ...it's race against time- fingers crossed!!! If not, I'll pick it up on Monday)Will post pictures upon receipt. Finally able to to progressively (Timex, Tag, PAM, Omega, Rolex, Rolex, AP) reach one of my childhood dreams of owning (merely taking care for the next generation ) a Patek. Ecstatic the day has finally come after lots of hard work.... and is just the start towards my current grail, 5726 or the new 5990A. Thank you'll for the enabling pictures (shout out to Puffy on t

16710 Pepsi or BLNR ?
Hello!Long time lurker, posting for help and ideas...I have a modest Rolex collection of a Ceramic Daytona (black face 116500), Milgauss 116640 GV, 11610 Submariner and 15210 Date (wife has stolen it, fits her well : ). Looking to add another, and I've been focusing on a 16710 Pepsi GMT or a more modern 116710BLNR. While I enjoy both watches for different reasons, I am leaning toward the 16710 Pepsi. I like the slender lugs of the 16710 vs the chunkier BLNR lugs. But, I love the blue and black of the BLNR. I am 5' 10, 155lbs, and I have a 6.5 wrist. The newer thicker lugs of Rolex Sport watches seem just a bit heavy on me. Rolex 36mm watches work (love and had a 114270 Explorer), as do the 40mm watches (with slender lugs, but haven't had a 40mm new Rolex with thicker lugs, other than the Milgauss which seems to be in between).If anyone else has gone through the thick vs thin lug debate I'd be grateful for the help. Thanks!
