You need a dress watch. A pre owned patek 5146 can be had for right around this budget. If it must be Rolex, the 50535 Cellini is an absolute stunner.

Have you sold the 116655? Also, I seem to remember you found the DD40 too dressy.
So...I think knowing how you like the oyster flex, maybe one the new OF Daytona's? It would be between the WG silver dial and the YG black with the champagne sub dials for me. |

With what you currently have, I think a precious metals is on your hit list. I seem to recall you tried a DD40 and it didn't last too long. Too dressy I think you thought. I would try a yellow gold sub if you are mainly wanting a rolex. Or you could try the rose gold yachtmaster on the oyster flex. Good luck Chad!

I would go dressier. If I am not mistaken you have already had a DD. That would have been my suggestion if it had to be Rolex. Perhaps even one on leather, however if a platinum is attainable that would be a great option too.
Otherwise Lange, Patek or a Moser/Ferrier |

$25k Budget - what watch would you add to this group?
Chadri... You look like you could use some GOOOLLLLDDD!!
As others have suggested, look at the PP Calatravas, they are a sight to see. I️ was digging a little and you could even swing an ALS with a moonphase(lest my google search was littered with scam). Now the Cellini I️ didn’t even realize as an option; but while on the topic I’d say worth strapping on once during the hunt. Sounds like it’ll be a fun trip to the store, good sir. Well deserved!

I would have to vote 116619. That's would be my lifetime keeper if I ever break down and buy one.

I wouldn't buy Patek for any reason as I would be afraid to wear it and really would have no occasion to wear it either. I'd consider a gold Daytona. `

All these mean people telling you to get a 5711, lol. That'll be a wait with your AD. :)
A Patek AC makes sense, market is soft on some of those. If any of the cheaper minty 2nd hand ones ring your bell I'd go that way. |

There’s a really nice WG 1815 in th FS section - black strap... very sharp!! Different than what you proposed, but certainly worthy of consideration

You will have a very difficult time finding a 5711 at that price, but you already have sporty SS covered in spades. Based on what you already have, I would do a PM dress watch. I like the ALS 1815 or Lange 1 suggestions. I can also endorse FP Journe Chronometre Souverain or Chronometre Bleu if the design appeals to you. They would both be available used at our below your budget. An H. Moser & Cie Endeavor PC can also be had used in that price range.

I would like something a little more dressy in the collection. Some sort of DateJust with fluted bezel would be a great addition.
