...it's actually a 10 watch box ;-)
But I thought it was more fun to play this game.
My current lineup:
1680
5512
5513
1675
16750
I'd love a 1655 but the prices I do not love. I'm thinking maybe time to add a DJ? I have a bigger wrist (7-3/4), so unsure how that will work for me.

What do you folks think?

You need a Rootbeer sub or a two tone sub to round out that collection. Either that or a bakelite insert sub or a new ceramic.

Tom1675 · 11 November 2017, 01:55 AM

Very nice collection!

I am a quality over quantity guy, and while I can't see exactly what you have from the photo I would rather vend one or couple of them, like the 1680 and get a nice red sub or a gilt 1675 with the proceeds + your current budget.

While I like the sub progression in your collection and I only say the 1680 bc there are lots of them out there and as observed on this forum many times, their prices seem to have climbed a lot of late.

springer · 11 November 2017, 02:01 AM

Sub 1680 - red version preferably.

herts9 · 11 November 2017, 02:27 AM

I'd toss in an LV or a 16600 or even a 39mm explorer. If you felt daring, a Milgauss GV Z Blue would look amazing in there adding a splash of color.

mattedialdoc · 11 November 2017, 02:30 AM

Sorry for the small picture/poor resolution. I’ve cultivated some solid examples that make me smile, and am also totally a “quality over quantity” guy.
I hear ya guys on the red sub. But honestly, I like the white Sub. And to me the premium of a red over white isn’t worth it ...to me. But I think they are total cool!

Can't go wrong with a 1016.

Ghost1665 · 11 November 2017, 02:44 AM

A Kermit would be nice in that spot. Would keep with the theme of understated (but no less impressive) work horses in the front and show ponies in the back.

BNA/LION · 11 November 2017, 02:45 AM

IMHO- A Daytona would be Great!

shawnmarz · 11 November 2017, 02:57 AM

I would get a gilt gmt. Then upgrade one of those subs for a red 1680!

ancientmariner · 11 November 2017, 03:12 AM

16610LV would look great in your collection.

swish77 · 11 November 2017, 03:33 AM

I’d consolidate and get a 1655. Your 1675 and 16750, and 5512 and 5513, are similar enough where you could let one/two go and get a completely different look on your wrist with an Explorer II. A 1016 could work too, and of course a Daytona, but the prices are ridiculous now.

Aaron, don’t let my wife hear you say this! Just because they “look similar”, WE know they are very different references!

Superb collection. How about TT GMT? Or go off the grid and get an Omega SpeedMaster Professional....in my opinion, either way your a winner!

Ha! I thought there is an unspoken rule that spouses are prohibited from all watch decisions! If not, I'd still own only one watch.

Yes, different references, but similar looking. I'm all about wrist presence and look. One reason I got rid of my 1665 GW is that is reminded me too much of my 5512, even though they're quite different.

btinl · 11 November 2017, 07:08 AM

I agree that a nice red sub would fit in well there.

05carbondrz · 11 November 2017, 11:00 AM

1665 Sea Dweller,No doubt.

Dr.Smellody · 11 November 2017, 11:12 AM

Gilt explorer

douglasf13 · 11 November 2017, 12:09 PM

1655 was what jumped out to me first, but, after that, I'd say some kind of 36mm DJ/DD/Exp I. Your wrist isn't huge or anything.

Toronto Soup King · 11 November 2017, 11:53 PM

Change it up with a white 16550, you even have a couple of different flavours. I can attest that watch looks fine on bracelet and leather and perlon and is a nice change from the black dials on all the other sport models. Aaaaaand I've talked myself into my watch for the day

natanaeljoshua · 12 November 2017, 02:14 AM

You have 3 subs and 2 gmts so to even it out i say go for 16760 fat lady

rolex75216 · 12 November 2017, 02:17 AM

G-Shock! You need a nice Beater watch!

Vincent65 · 12 November 2017, 02:39 AM

Something gilt.

I now see your dilemma! That last spot may be harder than you think to fill. Maybe leave it alone for now?

I'm thinking so too. Perhaps I need to pause and enjoy what I have.

Explorer will add the needed diversification. Nice collection bro!!

Maybe a Daytona of sorts to switch it up. 6239
