"THE MAGNIFICENT FIVE", what is next?

[Cutlass]

hey guys

this is my current Rolex collection ..

I know the right topic title should be "The Magnificent seven" , and I work on it
for "perfect seven collection" I would like my SD43 back , and one of my favorite watches ever - Explorer 2 WD in 42mm which I had 4 times in last 4-5 yrs , and I have to get it again ASAP ...
or may you have a different suggestion what I should get?

in this moment this is what I have ..





as you can see I like to replace bracelets on my watches

BLRN is on SUB LVs bracelet
Daytona is on vintage Lizard strap
SKYDweller comes with Seiko rubber , in perfect matched color
Hulk I'm wearing on RubberB , leather or Custom Zulu
and 16700 is in completly original mode ..





I hope you like my choice ..
all comments are welcome
best regards from Croatia
Denis

Impressive that you set the correct time to each one :)

It is nice collection! For me it takes time to understand straps, but everybody has it’s own :)

[Ruud Van Driver]

An EXP II white or a YM I platinum dial is what I'd be looking at along with your SD43

Second hands are all over the place...he is not ocd enough for me

Fantastic collection my friend...SD126600 needs to get back in the stable and you are done.

PS: Need more review pics of the 116710BLNR on the Sub bracelet.

Its time for a precious metal piece my friend.

Once you go PM you never go back. :)

Agreed. Get your SD43 back and then get into PM!

[brandrea]

Just the SD43 is all you need my friend

I'll be contrarian and say consolidate your Rolex collection and try another brand like Panerai

[Hank]

Sweet collection! A rhodium yachmaster perhaps? Personally, I would venture out and look into other brands.

Great lineup. Blro doesn't fit (albeit is awesome) so move that for sd43 again.

had YM Platinum 2 times .. it is nice but I like colors .. myabe on red Rubber B strap would be better for me
but 116622 blue dial is just perfect ..

that is the reason I'm still on SS , hahah

I'm pretty active and wearing all my watches in every moment I spend on Sea, Woods, on sport or in my shop .. there is no safe queen in my collection ..






so PM sounds very "soft" to me .. it is not my 1st choice , but there are some great models for sure !

here is one I already had , but thar episode was not something great to me ..
after 4-5 months bracelet was in pretty bad condition

soon I hope ..
SUB bracelet (Clasp) is one of the best things from Rolex watches
I like it a lot becaues I can wear it on the hand and put it on the wetsuit in 5second ..

Great collection Denis! How about patek, Cartier, Iwc, Jlc ?

[Watcheroo]

Great set you have going there!

You've got the sports & SS models very well covered.

I'd add the RG YM and WG DD40 with anniversary green dial. For these 2, I also wouldn't change the OEM bracelet/strap.

If the SD50 still calls your name and you want to keep the collection at 7 after picking up the two that I mention above, then flip the older GMT towards the SD50.

[16610v]

Get a ym ii for the 6th function.

[playmore009]

Time for PM!

Amazing collection. Just fantastic! SD43 is a no brainer. After that I'd look past Rolex to see what else is out there.

Agree with those above, time for PM. Classic DD would look good in your collection.

[pgrandster]

Salute!

[epc2]

DD40 white or green dial , you have the sports models covered but can't argue with wanting the sd43 back , it's an awesome watch.

[THC]

I personally would hate to see a strap on a DD 40 /// already struggling with straps on these beauties

[SG56]

Very nice!

Get your SD back and add a Yachtmaster to your collection.
Maybe lose the BLNR to add back the explorer, as you like it and already have a GMT.

[MCO1]

Great collection! I love the strap you have the Daytona on! SD 43 is tempting me right now but I haven't seen one in the flesh yet!

[peterpl]

DD40 or upgrade your SS models to PM.

A 116618LB would be perfect.

[Chadridv]

DJ41 maybe? Or if you want to Ease into PM check out the 116655! I just got one and freaking love it. Can be worn for any occasion easily.

[abbassmaki]

SD43 definitely, then you have to retire.

Instead of the SD43 I would go for the "Old" SD4K 116600 and I would add an Oysterflex YM.

[dberman3]

Beautiful collection! I know what you mean about the EXII WD. Mine gets an unusual amount of wrist time. The lume and legibility are great. Whatever you decide to do, you can’t miss. You’ve got a great collection.

I understand you .. but would like to keep BLNR , it is very cool one to me .. and now I find SUB bracelet fit it well
and Pepsi vs EXII

It comes down to personal opinion, but, I think the strap/lug connection on the YM is perfect (to be fair, I absolutely love the watch). The gap lets the bezel stand alone better compared to straps that are flush with the case, and it also seems more sporty to me than flush straps.

I was in Austrian AD and checked it once .. it is real Beauty , but those "gaps" are killing my will to buy it .. and had fantastic discount , about 22%
