After 23 years of wearing a 1999 SS Air King with black Roman numerals, I bought my grail piece, a Y
G Day Date with gold Roman numerals & thought I was finished buying....BUT, I kept reading TRF & started seeing the blue face dials. And I began to start thinking. It would be nice to have a middle piece....An OP, DJ or even a Sky Dweller with a blue face. It would be a "Tweener Watch, something more formal than the AK, but not as formal as the DD. Plus, I want stick indices, & a dark blue face, after white faces with Romans.

Am I crazy to be thinking of adding 1of these?

Help talk me out of this..or, advice, Please!!

No help here, go for it!

I think the DateJust would make a good ‘tweener’.

MichelleP · 4 March 2022, 09:36 AM

LOL. That's the problem with the forum. You keep reading and you want more. I don't think a 3rd watch is excessive but this is coming from someone who has 17

I can think of a lot of worse hobbies to spend your money on. Go 4 it.

thenewrick · 4 March 2022, 10:25 AM

3 would be my sweet spot.

"Once you try blue, you never get through." I just made that up and it kinda sucks, but it's also sorta true. Blue dials are mesmerizing to me, and lots of others.

You are asking for someone to talk you out of this? Here, on a Rolex forum? Hahaha....good luck. My take is go for it.....and then keep going until you have at least a six watch collection.....

ltmgeller · 4 March 2022, 12:18 PM

GO for it.

Starhutch · 4 March 2022, 01:46 PM

Do it

Booth9999 · 4 March 2022, 01:50 PM

I’m thinking 3 for my collection.

Yeah I said that at one time also

I think the blue dial OP would be a good choice in your preference of 36 or 41mm.

NachoNeal · 4 March 2022, 03:06 PM

It would be wrong not to.

Ensign · 4 March 2022, 03:25 PM

Give it six months; I get these “watch crushes,” too.
