I would NOT trade the original BLNR for the "newer" version.

Keep what you have an add a BB58 (either color) or an Omega Seamaster SMP 300M. Black or white dial would be my choice, but they're all amazing IMO

I love my BLNR and not a fan of the jubilee bracelet.

I think jubilee sings on the GMT and you have another Oyster bracelet for some diversity. If you aren’t a fan then no worry.

My immediate gut reaction was a JLC Reverso, but then I saw your post about not really needing one.

Therefore, black dial diver. Submariner.

If you want a blue dial, then I’d go with the Omega Seamaster.

No, it isn't.

I love your Zenith 1969. I notice it's the 38mm variant. How does it wear compared to your 40mm and 41mm Rolex's?

Have you considered a GO? I think a lot
Of their selections are a good balance of dressy and casual. I love the the pano line and the sixties models as well...have the fiery orange incoming soon myself!

You have a nice trio there but you could use a diver. I would also suggest a dress watch but if you don't want one, your DJ could work in that role. If you like the Pelagos, go for it, as it's a great watch, but I personally like the Omega divers better and they might fit in better with the more classic nature of your collection. If you wanted to jump into the next tier of watchmaking, a Blancpain Fifty Fathoms would be a great diver too and is at the top of your budget new if you buy right.

To round up your collection, you only need sea piece to complete sea/air/land collection.....
Some suggestions for a sea piece would be Tudor Black Bay or Pelagos, Rolex Submariner, Omega Seamaster or Planet Ocean, Panerai Submersible, Blancpain Fifty Fathoms, AP Royal Oak Offshore Diver, Tag Heuer Aquaracer, Breitling SuperOcean Heritage, IWC Aquatimer

Thanks! I have a 7.25 wrist and it wears very similar to my BLNR. I think it’s because the Zenith has longer lugs. The DJII wears a lot larger than the Zenith. Ultimately, lug-to-lug have a bigger factor than dial size IMO.

I never really noticed the classic nature of my collection. Thanks for pointing that out.

I do love the white dial Seamaster with the black ceramic bezel. That might just be my next pickup.

Thanks! I thought I wanted the white dial initially but the blue is singing to me more lately...

Not sure if it'll be too much BLUE in my collection though.

I'll let it sink in for a while and try them on before I pull the trigger. Thanks for the advice

I started thinking "Ah, a dress watch", but not only did you say you didn't want one, but the DJ probably does a reasonable job at it anyway. Then, I thought, "Ah, maybe something more complicated" and you have both a GMT and a chrono. Then, I thought "Ah, maybe something with more color that's more visually fun", but the El Primero fits that. You, sir, have an excellent collection! The world is your oyster! :)

In a completely different direction. Your wrist is big enough for a PloProf. Around 10 years old. Its casual or sporty, but I would also wear it with a tux. But people expect that of me.

Thank you all for your input! I ended up purchasing a Seamaster 300m blue. I think I’m done buying watches (at least for a while) ... I’ll post pictures soon
