"THE MAGNIFICENT FIVE", what is next?

hey guys

this is my current Rolex collection ..

I know the right topic title should be "The Magnificent seven" , and I work on it
for "perfect seven collection" I would like my SD43 back , and one of my favorite watches ever - Explorer 2 WD in 42mm which I had 4 times in last 4-5 yrs , and I have to get it again ASAP ...
or may you have a different suggestion what I should get?

in this moment this is what I have ..





as you can see I like to replace bracelets on my watches

BLRN is on SUB LVs bracelet
Daytona is on vintage Lizard strap
SKYDweller comes with Seiko rubber , in perfect matched color
Hulk I'm wearing on RubberB , leather or Custom Zulu
and 16700 is in completly original mode ..





I hope you like my choice ..
all comments are welcome
best regards from Croatia
Denis

Impressive that you set the correct time to each one :)

It is nice collection! For me it takes time to understand straps, but everybody has it’s own :)

An EXP II white or a YM I platinum dial is what I'd be looking at along with your SD43

Agreed. Get your SD43 back and then get into PM!

Sweet collection! A rhodium yachmaster perhaps? Personally, I would venture out and look into other brands.

Fantastic collection my friend...SD126600 needs to get back in the stable and you are done.

PS: Need more review pics of the 116710BLNR on the Sub bracelet.

Great lineup. Blro doesn't fit (albeit is awesome) so move that for sd43 again.

You've got the sports & SS models very well covered.

I'd add the RG YM and WG DD40 with anniversary green dial. For these 2, I also wouldn't change the OEM bracelet/strap.

If the SD50 still calls your name and you want to keep the collection at 7 after picking up the two that I mention above, then flip the older GMT towards the SD50.

Amazing collection. Just fantastic! SD43 is a no brainer. After that I'd look past Rolex to see what else is out there.

Agree with those above, time for PM. Classic DD would look good in your collection.

DD40 white or green dial , you have the sports models covered but can't argue with wanting the sd43 back , it's an awesome watch.

I personally would hate to see a strap on a DD 40 /// already struggling with straps on these beauties

Very nice!

Get your SD back and add a Yachtmaster to your collection.
Maybe lose the BLNR to add back the explorer, as you like it and already have a GMT.

Great collection! I love the strap you have the Daytona on! SD 43 is tempting me right now but I haven't seen one in the flesh yet!

DD40 or upgrade your SS models to PM.

A 116618LB would be perfect.

DJ41 maybe? Or if you want to Ease into PM check out the 116655! I just got one and freaking love it. Can be worn for any occasion easily.

Instead of the SD43 I would go for the "Old" SD4K 116600 and I would add an Oysterflex YM.

Beautiful collection! I know what you mean about the EXII WD. Mine gets an unusual amount of wrist time. The lume and legibility are great. Whatever you decide to do, you can’t miss. You’ve got a great collection.

As many have said you have SS very well covered, and love your strap choices too. I'd move up to PM and a DD40.

Great collection!

I like the idea of re-acquiring the SD43, but for the seventh, I might try branching off into PM territory. The oyster flex YM of DD40 would be great options, especially since you like to vary your bracelets.

If the PM idea doesn't appeal, then the EXP2 is a solid choice.

Fantastic collection although I am not a fan of the strap on the sky dweller but to each his own. I think as an addition you may consider an Ap RO offshore new safari as brown is not well covered in your collection or day date as others suggested. If it is my collection I am not sure I will be looking at another Rolex, perhaps a nautilus or an aquanaut would be the next watch to consider as well as the ap as said earlier
