Suggestions for my new ‘collection’...

I have a 36mm DJ that I bought new in 2007 and a Sub-date that I bought new in 2008. I would like to buy a few more Rolexes over the next few years so I end up with a small collection of 5 watches that I will enjoy and then pass along to my Son. I do want a Ceramic Daytona, so that leaves 2 more. I prefer stainless steel and want new watches, so what would you recommend that might be considered collectible one day?

You only want SS, brand new? Well, you're limiting yourself, mate.
Open your mind a bit:
-White Gold GMT Master II BLRO
-SS/White Gold bezel Skydweller with blue dial
-Platinum Daytona

or on the less ridiculously expensive side:
-16710 GMT Master II Pepsi dial
-Sea Dweller Deep Sea James Cameron

Good luck. Should be interesting to see the comments.

The DJ, Sub Date, and an eye on the DaytonaC makes for a great start to a 5 watch collection. Since no one can be sure of what's going to be considered collectible in the future why not use one of your last 2 spots for something that is collectible now? The 16710 would fit in that collection nicely.

A GMT LN or BLNR and an Explorer 2 white dial would go nicely
