Which smaller watch for the collection?

Hi everyone, recently added the Big Pilot to the collection, but ultimately was too heavy/thick for me to wear regularly. Thinking about selling it and, in the spirit of getting a more svelte/dressy non-black dial watch, was thinking about a new silver/stick/fluted/jubilee Datejust (116234) in its place.

Other thoughts were on a Cartier tank (though I think the old Hamilton fits that category), vintage Piaget ultra thin, or Nomos minimatik/metro/tetra.

Any help, thoughts, and advice about what would be a good fit for the collection would be much appreciated.


Thanks!

I love the IWC Mark XVIII. You might want to consider that if you find the big pilot to be too large on the wrist.

I agree with this too. It’s always nice to have a Rolex, Omega and IWC in a collection.
