State of the Collection 3/7/2019

Hey everyone. Relatively new to the forum but not new to collecting. Thought I'd post the collection as it stands today. By and large I'm pretty happy with it. Any thoughts on "where to go next" is always appreciated. My next priority I think is to build out my dress watches and/or vintage watches. Here's the collection generally from low end to high end (though some are very close)

Seiko SKX Pepsi on a NATO strap. It may be my least expensive watch but it does get real wrist time.
Seagull 1963 Hand-Wind Chronograph.
TH Monico Gulf Edition. CAW211R.
Omega Speedmaster Professional "Moonwatch". Hesalite hand-wound. Have it on a Weiss watch strap
IWC Portuguese IW5001-07
Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean 600m Chronograph Calibre 9900
Rolex GMT Master II Jubilee Pepsi. Lucky enough to get the call from my AD. Paid retail.
Rolex GMT Master II Two Tone. (Not wound, you can see I don't wear it much since getting the Pepsi)
JLC Grande Reverso Duo in Gold
AP Royal Oak 15400 Blue Dial

Nice collection. I would add a Blue Tudor Pelagos. Great watch, add some more color to the collection.

Thanks all. Blue Pelagos isn't a bad idea, however I'm not thinking more steel sports watches right now. I'm thinking more like a Calatrava or perhaps a JLC Master Ultra Thin. Simple, slim dress watches on a leather strap. Also thinking about tapping into vintage - especially vintage Heuer models like some of the Autavia models.

A few more choices would be something in the VC line like the Patrimony or Historiques Ultra-Fine 1955 and for a more vintage touch I've always like the Omega Seamaster with the Pie Pan dial like this (though that's not quite as thin or refined).
