Maybe a OP41 in green or silver. Maybe a rootbeer to try out rose gold and GMT or the new grey GMT jubilee TT.

If Rolex, a Daytona since you already have a GMT complication in the SkyD and a diver. A DJ would fit in well too.

Non GMT dressier piece, like the silver OP 41? I have the 36, and it is stunning IRL. Also, very affordable.

Thoughts? Let me know! :)
I am biased toward the Pepsi, but setting that bias aside, I'd look to add some warm precious metals to your collection.

The rootbeer GMT is fantastic. Or better yet, one of those Day-Dates with those novel stone dials.

Daytona seems to be extremely popular. It’s just a little outside my price bracket. Well, a lot. I’d love a ‘Ghost’ - Pepsi seems to be the most attainable at Grey. My AD can get me a TT Sky Dweller. But, I have the SS Blue. So, I don’t see the point there other than increasing AD spend. Could also get a TT YM from AD, but not really that fond.

Not sure I’m a fan of TT - Can get either Sky D or YM TT from AD - but not that keen and already have a SkyD

GRNR looks quite nice mind.. but at grey, think I would prefer a Pepsi on Jubilee..

Reverso. I would add a dress watch on a strap. If you budget allows move up to VC or Brequet.

i would consider a 5 digit Rolex reference in mint condition; I particularly love the 16550 or 16570 Polar Explorer II.

GMTs are particularly compelling too- note you have a choice of GMT Master or GMT Master II.

5 digits are beautiful references; right in the middle of the 4 digit tool watch & the 6 digit jewelry watch!

This is my thought.. I'd love a Pepsi.

Ghost would be the dream Daytona.. Panda is lovely too - both out of price range though.

If I can get a Pepsi for 15k GBP.. hmm

I feel a DJ would be redundant as I have the Sky D.

Still thinking a Pepsi (if remains within my budget).

Hmm. I dunno.. I kind of think the Sky D ticks the boxes here.

I’d find a mint 16570 polar. It won’t break the bank, although it may hurt the feelings of your other two watches because you’ll want to wear it all the time. I love my SD4K, but the 16570 is on a different level when it comes to comfort.

The SS White Daytona (116500) is also incredibly comfortable and offers great diversity to your current two watches.
