What should my 10th watch be?

I have a bothersome space to fill in my watch box.

I'd appreciate any suggestions for two more vintage pieces based on what I already have (full box + one on my wrist).

Also feel free to suggest any you'd get rid of (with the obvious exception of the Breitling). I feel like refreshing the collection...

(Top row: Breitling Super Ocean, Tudor Big Block black dial, Explorer 39 mm, Sub C, Red 1680; bottom row: Datejust Oysterquartz, Tudor Big Block silver dial, YG Day-Date 1803, WG Day-Date 1803, ?)

Aa vintage GMT would be nice to add to the collection.

Something with some color! Perhaps a gold 1680 to go with the Red above.

Maybe a Black Bay Red? For a little colour and some robust vintage styling. Otherwise a GMT of some sort.

Agree 100%.
That said...that is a very nice little watch box you have there. Maybe a "Hulk"?

Pepsi is an obvious choice. Buy a 1675 and then dump the Breitling and get a second watch!

Tudor 7928 or 1675 GMT would compliment well IMO

Thanks all. Some great ideas from the community here.

A Pepsi seems to be the popular choice, and I had thought the same myself. I also like the idea of a blue snowflake (had one before; wish I still had it).

Will update when the empty slot gets filled!

Any other ideas welcomed!

Great collection! After that spot is filled, I believe you are due for second box.
