Personally, I like Omega. But in this instance, I'd get the Rolex for sure. Buying a Porsche-branded watch is no better than going to a department store or chain store in the mall and getting one of their watches. Like going to the Diesel store or something.

Awesome collection. I especially love that Daytona!

I owned a couple hard to get watches: Blu Face Sky-Dweller, Blue Face Diamond Date-Just, and now I am obsessing over GMT Master || Batman.

Funny how you realize what you like and don't like, and the only way to truly understand that is to wear it everyday for a while.

If purchased at MSRP or near, can always wear a watch for a while, and if not in love with it, sell it and get your money back. That has been my experience with Rolex. Not the same at all with other brands.

Thanks, when I go back to AMS I will pick up a Batman or I can have it shipped but I get nailed with customs tax. I have other watches but these are the favs very durable and bang them no issues. I never buy my watches in the US for obvious reasons. The white gold Daytona with rubber band I wear the most.

If you are offered a Stainless White Face Daytona (and you don't want it), please get it for me. I have been after it since it was released, and still no luck. Got screwed on wait lists, and no way paying market value.

Love Amsterdam, esp. Foodhallen, especially the Iberico at Jugo Bar.

Probably very good advice, though I do know a real watch guy that I will broach the subject with next time we are out drinking scotch and getting in trouble. I do have a pretty sweet Omega Seamaster that I may just stand pat on, I really don't wear it very often but fun to break out when you want to roll with it.

Have a 2RS watch that I would part with at a reasonable price if anyone is looking.

I know I posted a while back about this watch but as I just spoke with my fave watch broker and she gave me some interesting market info I thought I would repost an update here. The watch broker said it was indeed available from Porsche and required the car owners VIN number to purchase for $12,650...But she said she could get one new in box on the market with papers for ~ $3K. So definitely not a wise choice to purchase one from Porsche....for the guys that got one with their cars, if that was me I would keep it as I do think it is a sharp looking watch, but for me I am holding with my Omega SeaMaster Pro 300. I am just happy the GT2 RS didn't depreciate like the watch...still have fingers crossed the 992 GT2 RS, when it shows up, will be partially electrified, which would have the last gas model's value go thru the proverbial roof.

I wish it was like Porsche. I compare it to Ferrari. Authorized dealers can’t sell above MSRP and the secondary market is booming...
