After a long 3.5-month wait, I finally received my RG DD40 this morning.

I am thinking of adding one more Rolex to this mix. What would you suggest, taking into account the following criteria:

* no ceramic bezels: for some reason, they've never appealed to me

* no 42mm or larger size

My first choice would be a YG Daytona solid black dial but it has been super tough to find one. So I have started eyeing an NOS pre-ceramic YG Sub black 16618LN that's available locally.

Look forward to reading your suggestions!

Great collection. Your RG day date with the olive dial is spectacular.

I don't really "get" ceramic bezels either.

1lastone · 16 January 2021, 03:51 AM

Something steel with a blue dial would go nicely. Maybe a DJ or YM40 blue dial

levvity · 16 January 2021, 03:52 AM

I would consider a PM Daytona. Possibly the white gold / blue dial or rose gold / chocolate dial.

Great looking collection!

JayHantz · 16 January 2021, 03:59 AM

I would think that a rose gold TT YM40 would be amazing. Give you the sporty and classy look at once, great case shape, a new movement, and no ceramic bezel.

huncho · 16 January 2021, 04:13 AM

rose gold daytona maybe?

d4th · 16 January 2021, 04:16 AM

I think a Rolex Daytona or Yatchmaster should be a perfect addition to your collection.

White gold skydweller?

The OP said no 42mm or larger, so gargantuan watches are a no-go.

Well I am a huge supporter of the 16618ln.

jltait · 16 January 2021, 04:53 AM

Great collection. Wg Daytona, silver or blue dial, for the win.

rmlovett1 · 16 January 2021, 04:55 AM

Very nice! Congratulations!

fliegenwulf · 16 January 2021, 04:59 AM

Polar Explorer2, but I am biased.

DrMattK · 16 January 2021, 04:59 AM

Really Great Collection! and as you so clearly love PM pieces I would consider a white gold DD40 as you have the green dial with the rose (would have been my preference for the white gold) I would go for a more unique dial and choose the meteorite with Diamonds (if you can get a aesthetically pleasing dial pattern).

The other watch that I would consider is the full yellow gold Daytona with the champagne dial, Black sub dials and indexes.

TswaneNguni · 16 January 2021, 05:03 AM

116520 white
16610LV
16610LN

RJRJRJ · 16 January 2021, 05:07 AM

Something with a different colored dial than any of those (excluding blue).

HippoPAPAmus · 16 January 2021, 05:23 AM

PT DD40 with meteorite dial

Yeah, in that collection, I think an M serial 16570 polar Explorer II would be a great fit. But yes, I'm a bit biased as well.

Bonus points - it'll be your least expensive take. Great collection my friend.

Heady Topper · 16 January 2021, 06:07 AM

When you don't have an Explorer in the collection, the answer is always an Explorer :)

Love that YG pre-C sub! Perfect proportions.

Yes I would also consider the YG Daytona with the champagne w/ black subdials. Just so difficult to land a YG Daytona at the moment.

brandrea · 16 January 2021, 07:34 AM

Congratulations and very nice collection

IMHO you need a good, old school, SS 5 digit Submariner

Thanks for your great suggestion. I have owned both versions of the Explorer in the past. Loved the black dial more than the Polar. I just found the watch too light as I do have a preference for heavier watches.

SS Oyster · 16 January 2021, 07:38 AM

For your collection and restrictions, I recommend:

If you can wrap you head around 42mm, I’d say blue SkyD.

how about the 126715chnr? Then you'd have 2 RG, 2YG, 2 SS and 1 TT.

JebM · 16 January 2021, 07:49 AM

New sub.

Datejust with Azzurro blue roman numeral dial and jubilee since you don't have a jubillee bracelet watch in the mix and smooth bezel.

peterpl · 16 January 2021, 08:10 AM

You need a Silver dial or a Chocolate dial piece.

Daytona Chocolate dial would be perfect!!

Benzsiam · 16 January 2021, 08:18 AM

I would go with YG Daytona with Green dial.
