Very nice! Can't answer that for you...Whatever you have your mind set on! The direction of one's collection is such a personal thing and only you can know...

I can tell you what I would do, I cannot presume to tell you what you should do. Besides it seems as you have done pretty good so far.

I am thinking about a white dial. Deciding between a white Milgauss and the new Exp2.

Explorer II new version would be a very nice addition, first maxi case and maxi dial rolex and only dual time zone!

Saw the list price on swiss luxury.com (USD 7750), and selling at USD 8895. I am not sure I want to pay a premium for it.

Nice collection. Since I don't see a GMT watch I'd suggest the Expy II for the second time zone. I think every collector needs one of those.

If your looking for white dial, I think the white dial on the explorer 2 looks great

Looking Good So far. I think its time to diversify. You need some gold in the mix. How about a Gold Day Date, or the Green GMTii.

I too really like your IWC (I have the same watch )

Wonderful collection.

I recommend getting an AP next if that's your flavor.

Excellent collection....
How about a Yacht-Master or GMT for an addition?

Oh, you meant sharing to mean, showing photographs. Darn.
Beautiful watches you have there. I agree with the others, Expy II Polar would be a cool addition if you're looking for a white dial.

Since you like chronos, why not keep up the collection with this Blancpain Fifty Fathoms.

I stopped by the Blancpain AD Saturday. He is STILL waiting to get his first blue FF. He has the Chrono in red gold. So, so nice. But the blue also has day, month, date, and moonphase, too.

That's the first one I noticed, nice!

I think I'll wear the Aqua Racer tomorrow.

Very balanced and well rounded collection you have there I think a white dial would go very well and would personally lean in the direction of the new Exp II

Tag Carrera is a nice weekend watch. Got an awesome deal from amazon last year.

I m leaning toward the new exp2, but I will hold my final decision till I see the real thing (and its price tag).
