Sticking with Rolexes...

Hello all,
Thank you for the replies. At this point, I'm sticking with Rolex. As an engineer by training and in practice, I've come to appreciate the design and execution principles of Rolex. I also appreciate their durability, especially with young, destructive boys. My Omega PO (600m) was dropped on a tile floor from four feet up and it died; the same happened to my GMT-M2C (100m) and it didn't miss a beat. My JLC needed service and it was a nine month nightmare. So, I'm sticking with Rolex for engineering, durability, service, and maintaining its value.
I can rationalize trading in my Zenith Rainbow Flyback, as it's movement was the basis for earlier Daytona's, and I need/want only one chronograph. If the new ceramic Daytona is available, I suppose it would be hard to resist...
Thank you,
Ira

You already have Rolexes. Take a look at the Montblanc 1858 Chronograph. You might be surprised at how nice it is a piece.

I am totally with you on that suggestion. The 1858 Tachymeter is one of the most thrilling watch I added in my collection for years! [nt]

I'd get the Calibre de Cartier Blue Diver because......

It gives you a bit of variation in the collection, although I'm a huge fan of my Daytona, my Cartier has been lucky for me *knock on wood* and considering you just got a divorce you need a bit of luck on your side. Love my two-tone and highly recomended. ...

I think go for the ceramic Daytona

It is a no brainer choice, you can\'t go wrong (if it\'s your thing) and if you ever need to sell it you\'ll get a good deal. I think it would be a fitting divorce watch because it\'s a very safe choice. You\'ll have certainty in enjoying and relinquishin...

The new Daytona seem to have wait lists but should be worth the wait. Keep us posted on your choice. Bill
