PM Day DAte, or DAytona To tell others you have arrived

[BumbleB]

Great collection!

Maybe you should consider the new TT Deepsea to add some variation?

[Tha Baron]

Exp2, DJ41 or something full gold

[brandrea]

Very nice collection Steve. Welcome to the forum

[Skylife]

Nice collection. I have a variant on the sport’s theme myself. Consider a dress watch such as a DJ.

[mr_gray]

i reckon a rolex classic like a 126333 which gives you dress and tt and jubilee and a champagne dial.

need something other than oyster, other than SS, other than "dive" type watch, other than a rolex i dare say?

for example a dress watch on leather? lange?

I have 3 Rolex’s 1 gmt ss. 1 Sea Dweller ss. And I got the 126333 tt with a white dial. You won’t regret it. Beautiful dress watch.

Great collection

[Brew]

Welcome, nice collection!

Do you have any use for a dress piece?

[mongrelnomoad]

Something not Rolex perhaps?

[Abdullah71601]

A Royal Oak Chronograph or a Patek perpetual calendar would round out your collection nicely. You can't go wrong with an ALS Grand Lange either.

[rmlovett1]

Collection looks great! If I were to add anything, it’d be a PM DD40...YMMV

[JayHantz]

Welcome to the forums and wonderful collection. I would add a DJ, but just to cover the "dress" aspect.

[1William]

Nice collection. The only watch I would add to the want list is a Polar Explorer II.

[Fat_ninja]

Welcome... move the yachtmaster and get a aquanaut. Move the batman and sub and ignore the hulk and get a Pepsi whitegold.


Dont see the need for another daytona.

[Maiden]

You have a beautiful collection. I would try and add a PM rolex and/or branch out to a different brand.

[stainlesssteelsteve]

Thanks for the suggestions everyone, and please keep them coming.

Besides the Daytonas and Submariners, I've been considering:
- 2019 Explorer*
- 2004-2007 GMT II Pepsi (no holes)*
*worn on a leather or NATO strap

The jubilee bracelet seems too 80's for me. Although the white DJ41 on the oystersteel bracelet is beautiful. The Skydweller is also gorgeous but might be too large for my wrist.

[abozz]

Perfect sport collection, maybe a dress watch? A Patek Calatrava would be nice!

For me personally - someone who's big on SS - the natural progression of this collection is adding a rolex professional model in WG!! Something like a 116509, or maybe spice it up a bit with the oysterflex and ceramic bezel and go for the 116519. WG pepsi would beautifully complement your SS batman. Or try to find a new YM 42 in WG but good luck with that hahaha. If you don't wanna spend that much, I would actually consider consolidating and maybe trading one of yours in. I'm sure some -or all- of them carry sentimental value so it might not be easy, but i'm looking at it from an outsider's standpoint.

Side note since I see you don't have any rubber or leather straps in your collection; I for one was never a fan of rubber straps until I tried on the WG daytona on oysterflex. I was immediately hooked. Super comfortable, sleeper watch, sits so well on the wrist, oysterflex (imho) can be dressed up or down, you don't have to worry about scratching the rubber strap, ceramic bezel is resilient and won't accrue scratches.
As you can see, I'm pretty biased towards the 116519 hahaha. :

Or the other school of thought is to go PP. Many beautiful pieces in the price range of the PM rolexes. 5205, 5396, SS aquanaut, to name a few.

As far as your collection goes, I love it and i think it's versatile and has important pieces. If you're considering changing it up, I would maybe consider trading in the YM and possibly the black daytona for a WG daytona, or WG pepsi. With the premise of getting a white SS daytona 116520 at one point instead of the black you traded in. But that's just me :)

+1 on the Daytona oysterflex! Beautiful watch and would help out with the all steel problem.

[Slider817]

Nice collection of Rolex Sports models, maybe branch out a bit? Different brands or perhaps if you’re set on only Rolex a precious metal or Two tone model.

[dcash0615]

Great collection. Add a PM piece.

[nick c]

You have a beautiful collection. Maybe try different brands. Pp, Ap, Jlc , Panerai , Breitling.
