What to add next?

Looking for a dive watch to add to my current “collection.” I owned a wore a 116610LN on a daily basis for 2 years, and want to try something different. Considering something pre-ceramic (14060M, 16610LN, or 16600). What do you guys think?

Nice two piece collection, but I'd add a 114060 instead of your other choices.

I would consider a Hulk if I was able to find one at an AD. My AD has a few, but said they’re not for sale. Not really interested in paying over MSRP for gray market either.

I’ve owned the 116610LN and enjoyed the Glidelock. That said, I think the most comfortable watch I’ve owned was a Polar 16750. I was hoping a pre-ceramic sub would fit similarly.

16610 pre ceramic submariner. Still plenty out there in really good shape. Not terribly expensive. And if you want to bump it up a notch 16610LV

14060. A classic. You already have a GMT with date function. Try a nice 2 liner:

None of the above. If you're looking for something different, I'd go Tudor. Maybe a Pelagos or BB. And...put a little cash back in the watch fund for the next one.

Yes. I agree. I had the Pelagos in blue and I absolutely loved it. It’s the best value of any watch at the moment IMHO. The only reason I don’t have it any more is that I traded it for a smurf. Don’t think any one is gonna blame me for that.

I don't know, but I'd love to add the 2 watches you got right there.
