I am one that believes "every collection needs a Sub". That being said, the Sea-Dweller is nice, but I would flip it for a either No Date SubC or LVc.

I have five Rolexes, several other brands and a lot of Seikos, Citizens, etc. I do have too many watches, because some nice ones get little wrist time.

Your approaching the limit imho. Adding more and more watches will bring you less enjoyment + you wont be able to enjoy them anyway.

If your going to add I reckon 1 more maximum. If I was you consolidate them into 3-4 and upgrade to models and different brands. Rolex is not the pinnacle of watches plenty of others much better. Try different complications and functions. Sometimes simple 3 handed watches just get plain boring.

Try an IWC perpetual calendar or something more interesting.

I consider my SD4K a Sub on steroids. I like the case shape of SD4K better than Sub

possible PM but just doesn't seem as versatile as SS

On a serious note I’d add a Hulk or swap it with your black dial Daytona if you wanted to keep it at 5.

Otherwise what you have now is definitely quite enough to enjoy each piece in rotation with equal wrist time

You have a sophisticated enough of an "eye" to assemble a breathtaking collection.

Yet you have to ask advice from a forum of strangers? Hmmmm.

Thanks! I'd like to think I have a sophisticated "eye" but why not solicit feedback?
Yes, from complete strangers but doesn't hurt to have opinions, whether i act on them or not, in whole or in part at least it's out there and am making an informed decision.
There are zero guarantees that people who know you as a person will give you accurate or appropriate answers either

That's pretty close to being the perfect modern collection. Add a SkyD and done.

Never enough, five is too many but six is not enough. We're all hooked.

Man, that's a nice collection. Only other one I'd likely pursue if it were me would be an LVc. Have a stellar weekend!

Thanks....

If i had to go for green then maybe a Kermit but not the Hulk. There's just something "off" about the hulk in my eyes

offered the hulk many times. tried it one each time thinking this time it would be different. but ultimately passed on it every time!

maybe one day i might warm up to it....

but perfectly content with SD4K as my ultimate diver.... the right size, the right shape, and no cyclops!

Famous last words right?

No, you need a Sub for sure and maybe a DSSD, but nice start, looks great, might also consider a 5 digit sub and / or GMT master.

I was with you at the end of summer 2018. Then I bought my first PM model. It re-sparked my interest in the brand and lessened the enjoyment the unicorn SS watches provided. Now using steel to acquire gold...like the kings of old.

Only you can answer if they are "enough". We are all different. This would be way too much for me, I would diversify brands, but that's me.

Very nice collection, A Sub no date or a Sub LV and this would be perfect. Although we can always dream of the next piece, this collection is so nice I can just appreciate it for what it is and be content!
