Opinions for #3

Trying to decide what Rolex would provide the most contrast to the two I already have. I’m planning to flip the Tudor next year.

The Daytona is growing on me..I’d be leaning toward PM..


What do you think?

I'd try to get into something with a white dial. Since you already have a GMT function, maybe a DJ 41?

My immediate reaction is a Daytona since it’s a chronograph. You’ve already got a dress watch and most of the other models in the sport range have somewhat similar aesthetics to the gmt (rotating bezel, similar faces, cyclops). The Daytona would be very different but would round the collection out.

In the end though, you gotta do what speaks to you even if it means a less well-rounded collection.

I would go with a dresser piece - maybe a lange, Breguet or patek? Something on a strap. The Saxonia 37mm is a great deal.

I’d go something different. Either a hulk or a 2 tone Daytona with white or blue dial.

You need a Sub.

116618LB is calling. That DD is awesome as well - dont ever sell that one.

The Daytona is small for it's complications. Do make sure you can use it comfortably and read the dials before you commit. I think a Sky Dweller would drop nicely into that collection, but since you already have that beautiful fluted bezel Day Date, a Sub would give you a more eclectic mix. If you're leaning towards TT or PM there are some lovely Subs out there.

You can't really lose whatever you do. Nice collection already. Congratulations.

WG Daytona with the blue dial. Keep the Tudor, as it is a great beater and will not make much of a difference in a PM purchase.

Was also thinking about the WG Daytona blue dial or YG with green...

I think the 116515LN, Everose gold Daytona on Oysterflex would fit your collection well. Totally different look and features from your other 2 beauties. I think the matching Everose dial with the black sub dials, or even the Chocolate dial with the Arabic numerals would be a nice choice.

I'd flip the Tudor for a LV-C, and add a Daytona WG on OF.

And then get a bigger box...
