What watch compliments my small collection.

I have a Rolex Sub-C and an Omega 3575 Speedmaster. I am looking to add a nother watch and wondering what you guys might suggest. I prefer sporty models that can also be dressed up a bit if necessary. Bring on the suggestions please.

Hi Len,

GMT TTc?

Number 13...lucky for you?

Datejust? Maybe something a little more formal to complement what you currently have. AP RO or even a JLC.

Good luck with your decision!

He already has a Speedmaster, why a Daytona? Go with a GMT, it makes perfect sense.

I would say to go with something dressy like a Datejust or Datejust 2 if you have bigger wrist!~

A SS Yachtmaster or Milgauss is the answer.

Have you looked at IWC??? I would think a dress model fits into ur collection very well. If you want another sport model to dress up maybe a TT GMT or Daytona(though the no date is a deal breaker for me.) I'm not a huge fan of sport models worn with anything dressier than a pair of slacks though.

i've got a Speedy, and that's why i always wear the Daytona.
But a GMT Pepsi is another icon, like the Patek Nautelus, & Seiko Orange Monster. It would be easy to be a Sub collector too, with all the variations.

Wow, there is sure a lot of love for the GMT IIC and the Daytona. I really don't have much occasion to use the second or third timezone, so I was thinking it might not be worth considering one. The GMT also looks very similar to my Sub-C. I tried on the Exp2 but although I love it in pics, I felt it wore too large on my wrist. I was not really considering another chronograph, but I will have to look at the Daytona in person after seeing all of these positive recommendations about it.
