had YM Platinum 2 times .. it is nice but I like colors .. myabe on red Rubber B strap would be better for me
but 116622 blue dial is just perfect ..

that is the reason I'm still on SS , hahah

I'm pretty active and wearing all my watches in every moment I spend on Sea, Woods, on sport or in my shop .. there is no safe queen in my collection ..






so PM sounds very "soft" to me .. it is not my 1st choice , but there are some great models for sure !

here is one I already had , but thar episode was not something great to me ..
after 4-5 months bracelet was in pretty bad condition

soon I hope ..
SUB bracelet (Clasp) is one of the best things from Rolex watches
I like it a lot becaues I can wear it on the hand and put it on the wetsuit in 5second ..

Maybe lose the BLNR to add back the explorer, as you like it and already have a GMT.

I understand you .. but would like to keep BLNR , it is very cool one to me .. and now I find SUB bracelet fit it well
and Pepsi vs EXII

It comes down to personal opinion, but, I think the strap/lug connection on the YM is perfect (to be fair, I absolutely love the watch). The gap lets the bezel stand alone better compared to straps that are flush with the case, and it also seems more sporty to me than flush straps.

I was in Austrian AD and checked it once .. it is real Beauty , but those "gaps" are killing my will to buy it .. and had fantastic discount , about 22%

Clearly time for some precious metal

thank you sir ..
for AP , I had old Safari which is my favorite watch ever , black themes and Blue one from 1998 .. I love ROOC model , and it great fit my wrist

still have burgundy , yellow ,and orange rubbers for offshore case ..
the steel bracelet too .. and AP is for sure watc I'll get soon again ..
but still have Aquanaut on my mind

[brucethemanlee]

very nice

[TheRolexKingofLV]

Great collection Denis

[HogwldFLTR]

What happened with the SD43??? I guess I missed the back story on it leaving. I'd consider the SD4K which was a fairly short run and a DDII or DD40. If you are into Daytonas then why not go for the big fish, the Platona???

Hey Lee..
I traded 43 for Daytona

SD4K is not bad idea ..

and Platona , not sure about PM .. not my style .. but DD40 in RG sounds cool

[mahefa]

You really use Rolexes how they are meant to be used! You ever have a feeling with some piece that you will never flip it?

I think Day-Date 40 would fit your collection perfectly. Or maybe some special dial DD36?

[travisb]

I agree with the suggestions for the SD43 and some PM. The YM 116655 would fit in nicely or go dressier with a DD40.

We all know that the hardest sell is the biggest because all the resistance is to prevent giving into deep-seated desire. Go PM; you know you want one!!!!

What an awesome shot! Love it!

yeah I agree with this. Additionally, the lug holes are placed in an entirely different place than any other Rolex from what I can tell, so the strap sits nicely up against the case diminishing the gap.

I completely understand why one may or may not like the gaps, but IMO the fact that it's a relatively expensive watch (cost me a few thousand less than $20k btw) shouldn't make any difference in this design preference.

See below my SS Daytona on OF with Endlinks and the YM on OF with no end links. There's nothing cheap about the look IMO.

[Chiboy]

I’m not sure repurchasing a watch you have sold FOUR TIMES IN THE LAST FIVE YEARS is such an obvious choice. Lol

You seem to like color diversity, which I think is great. So I would suggest that direction: Smurf with light blue and PM, WG DD with green dial...something along those lines.

[Kevan]

Love it I have the Ceramic Daytona.. tic, the Blue Black.... tic, the GMT Pepsi (It could be the same one)... tic, I am surprised there is not a Sub of some kind???? or a classic DJ??

Money no object... Platina. Otherwise, you are good.

I think adding back the sd43 and exp2 is definitely the way to go. I wouldn’t dismiss the BLRO. You could throw it on a strap and wear the heck out of it. Adds a bit of color to a colorful collection.

Here’s some enabling

[Huliganchik]

Agree with most on getting SD back, but as for 7th I would look into DD as some here suggested. This is not on my opinion but personal goal

Awesome collection!

[thejerseyrock]

very nice

[Roy Rolls]

Nice collection!

[Andrewlennywatches]

Nice collection, way to go!!!

[nick c]

Great collection Denis! How about patek, Cartier, Iwc, Jlc ?

[mammos_fc]

Great Collection! I love blue SkyD with rubber blue strap. will borrow the idea for mine.

[ancientmariner]

Super collection there

As has been said, definitely SD43 back for no.6
No. 7 ....no need to rush, all will become clear over time.

[Adi7592]

Amazing collection!!! After getting back the SD43 I would complete the collection with the SS YMII in order to cover all complications of the SS sport line up. That would be an unbeatable team of 7!
