Deciding on a 4th Rolex

Hi all, I know it’s all just personal preference, but I’d just like some opinions...

I own 3 watches, DJ TT with blue dial (32 years), Submariner TT Serti dial, Daytona Black Dial SS. Looking to add a 4th.

I’ve always liked the Chocolate Daytona with leather strap, Black Yachtmaster on Oysterflex and the Skydweller Blue or White dial.

Just looking for some constructive input. Thanks all!

Well you already have a Daytona and Skydweller is quite similar looking to DJ so I reckon the Yachtmaster will add the most variety to your collection.

Get the Airking or Milgauss ... the AK look very good on actual item.

skyd blue if you can source one. I think it should complement well in your collection.

You have a nice collection, if it were me and those were my only watches I’d move to another brand.
But, within the Rolex line, the GMT II has long been a personal favorite; and a nice variety of models from which to choose

Of this watches you list, I think the skydweller would be the most complimentary addition to your current watches

I agree, a GMT would be a nice add. Several "colors" to choose from......

Sky dweller to mix things up.

Have you thought of consolidating the collection to expand the budget? Always think one should at least consider it.

I love the idea of a Zblue in any collection but a white dialed Sky Dweller or Expll would be a nice change as well.

I like the 116655 to bring a little touch of RG to the collection...as well as a completely different bracelet system.

GMT 2 in black or chocolate or Explorer 2 polar. I have both, plus the ceramic black Daytona, and I love all three. The wife has the hulk sub. I personally love the GMT functions on both watches, and the Explorer at 42mm and larger hands and markets really pops.

I like the Sky-Dweller in SS as an addition. I got the white dial as I already have several black dial watches and while the blue dial is great I prefer the color of white.

Black yachtmaster...it’s the most different, you have 3 watches on bracelets...try something new...it will also give you the most attention out of the 3 imo.

Second this. But if you already like the RG YM40 I’d go for that, it’s a very nice piece and has tempted me on occasion.

I’d try to go for the land, air, sea trio. So the Sky Dweller out of the options.
