Got 114270 & 14060 pair! What next???

[Scott9025]

Hi guys, I finally got both 114270 (36mm exp1) and 14060 (sub ND) pair.
I'm using 114270 as my daily since I mostly wear suits, and 14060 as my weekend watch.

My grail watch is Patek 5711, but I would have to save for about 3 years to get one.

Should I get more watches in between? If so, can you guys give me some recommendations?

Please note that my wrist is tiny at 6.25 inches (or 15.8 cm), so nothing bigger than sub ND would fit my wrist.

Please share your thoughts. Thank you!

I would personally pick up a 16710 and call it a day. The perfect trio.

I'd enjoy what you got now and forget about saving for three years...a lot can happen in between. You got your bases covered.

Beware the integrated bracelet watches like the 5711. They don't work well on a small wrist - they can't articulate enough to contour properly so they flair out in a really unattractive/uncomfortable way. My wrist is slightly bigger than yours and the 5712 didn't look like it could be adjusted to my wrist without some custom work (e.g. Breaking links and hoping it works).

The 36mm explorer 1 and 14060m are probably the two Rolex models I want the most, yet someone I've never picked either up. Very strange.

Land, Sea, and Air? (GMT2c)

Also, a Daytona is great on a small wrist. Better than my 16710 GMT. Obviously the lack of a date isn't a problem for you.

[HobokenRolex]

Speedmaster would be a good addition.

The speedy pro will wear really big on him unless his wrist is incredibly flat. Mine is on the verge of being too large (or is too large).

[WEST HAM ROLEX]

GMT LN?

Black or BLNR?

[GageTucker]

Daytona or Speedy Pro

[sea-dweller]

Nice pair, I'd add a Daytona 116520.

[MCO1]

Great group! GMT or Daytona!

I second that the Speedy is great but for a small wrist wears plenty big.

If he likes speedy, can try a speedy reduced (38mm I think)

The FOIS case is a better suggestion I think. It wears smaller than the usual one, but still has the superior dial layout of the Pro and the historically correct HW movement.

Bingo!! The FOIS is a perfect speedy to me. The autos and sapphire sandwiches are way to big and thick. Wear like . This one is modern speedy perfection.

Consider a fluted DJ or a DJ41 both to have a watch with a date and perhaps to give a bit of flare to the collection.

I think that blue/cream LE they released a while ago is one of the most beautiful chronographs in the world. It uses the FOIS case as well.

Here you are. You don't need anything else.

CK2998 does use the same case from what I understand. Quite a bit harder to get a hold of and no discounts there. The FOIS msrp is $5900 if I remember right. I paid in the mid $3k range or so brand new from an AD. Deals out there to be had.
