What should I add to my collection?

So I am planning on adding one of the following to the collection… just not sure which:
1. GMT BLRO
2. GMT BLNR
3. Sea dweller
4. No date sub

According to my SA I should be able to get any of them pretty soon. I like all of the aforementioned watches pretty much equally. The sub has really grown on me over the last couple of months. I owned a sea dweller briefly and ended up giving it to a family member as a gift (I immediately regretted that move). The GMTs are pretty much a coin toss. I can never decide which of the two color combos I like more.

Current collection includes a 116520, 116500LN, 116610LV, and a 126334

You need a GMT for sure. If you cant decide between Pepsi or Batman, 116710LN can't go wrong.

GMT BLNR would round out your collection well. But why not look for something outside of Rolex? A nice dress piece from Patek or Lange?

Get a 15CHNR. You don't need another steel Oyster cased watch.

If you can get any from your AD I’d get 1 or 2 in that order. It will bring some pastel color to your collection outside of the green sub.

A GMT of course, all others are redundant…or maybe another brand?

I think a GMT would be a nice add. BLRO is my choice, the BLNR didn’t last for me

BLRO and don't even think twice about it.


PS. How are you funding these on a resident's salary!? Well, however it is, god bless.

If that was my collection I would add a GMT. What you would do is up to you. If the GMT bezel is a coin toss, just get the one that turns up first. Presumably your AD/SA can give you a read on which they think will arrive sooner? Looking at it cynically, I'd go BLRO and if I didn't like it I could trade in for a BLNR with little or no financial hurt. But since I love the BLRO and don't particularly like the BLNR, I'd have the Pepsi anyway.

Yes, GMT would round it off nicely.

Maybe think outside of Rolex for next purchase after this one ?(Very hard, I know !)

GMT would give you a good range of styles.

I would diversify and look outside of Rolex at this point. It’s pretty well represented in your collection.

I’d want a BLRO on jubilee out of the choices, but agree with the others that something different — like a Lange or Patek or VC would make sense; I’d do something on leather if you’d wear that. On the Rolex front, I’d also consider something rose gold on oysterflex as that’s totally different.

BLRO on the Jubilee. A beautiful watch.

Seemed like BLRO would be most likely between the GMTs. Thanks for the input. Good points.

GMT. I'd go BLRO, but flip a coin if you must. Best wishes

I would recommend the GMT, BLRO with jubilee. I think it would fit nicely and add a pop of color as well, along with a new complication.

Nice collection! A GMT for sure! Both are awesome but I personally prefer the BLRO.
