Dude... that's an awesome collection!

I would say that the next step for you would be the Platinum Ice Glacier DD.

My understanding is that this is a bad idea because dust particles can get in and the oils in the movement can become dried out from exposure to air.

Any watchmakers want to chime in here and confirm this?

Amazing collection. Very diverse. I would go for a a DJ, or if you like the larger size, a DJII. Can't go wrong with a white dial either...
