What to add to this collection
I have recently sold a couple of watches and am trying to decide what to hunt down for my collection. 1680? Daytona ? Something vintage/solid gold ?

+1 on the Sea Dweller. 1665 Great White has great presence and is IMHO undervalued. Or a 1655 Freccione Explorer, in view of your focus on the Explorer II in your current lineup. Both will add to your current holdings.

I would sell the gloss 5513 and 1 1675. I'd add a 1665, 1655, 1016 Gilt or maybe a 6263??

Looks like you're covered for GMT's, lol.
I'm assuming you like your vintage tool watches.. Get a diver with a date - a 1680 or 1665. Very nice collection! ![]() |

A manual Daytona would be nice to add to that. :)

No solid gold. Rolex, to me, is a tool watch. Tool watches are SS. SD, Red Sub or Daytona would round out your collection nicely. If you're looking to leave the Rolex flock, a Patek Nautilus would also be nice
