In the past 20 years I have owned approximately 15 Rolex watches and a few other brands here and there along the way. Most have been flipped for what I have currently which are a RG DJ TOG (about 8 years old) a SS Daytona (white dial) 2 years old and I recently flipped an original LV for a Hulk which is my primary wear. I have a near mint PAM 24 that I will be looking to flip shortly to roll into RLX #4 (more than likely with some cash). I can't decide which way to go. A SS Sub-C seems a bit redundant having the Hulk but I have more than once thought about adding a Sub (no date) since that was my very first Rolex in 1993 and I am a bit nostalgic. A GMT seems to fit into the mix as well. I have looked several times at various Day-Dates and they just doesn't sing to me. I had a couple of Explorers along the way and meh. I'm looking to round out the family and would appreciate some thoughts.

Thanks in advance!

GMT looks like the "logical" pick. Perhaps a TT?

By the way, 2013-1993 = 20 years... something does not add up here!

Fixed it! 20 years (fat fingers!). I happened to be at the mall last weekend where I picked up that first one 20 years ago (Sub ND) - 20% discount, paid cash, no tax. Oh, the good ole' days!

114060 would be nostalgic and it is a classic piece. However it is too similar to your hulk. Gmt

You need a Sub in your collection, the iconic Rolex.

Nycturbovr6 · 22 June 2013, 08:16 AM

He has a hulk.
I suggest a gmt or a yachtmaster

Lgear080 · 22 June 2013, 08:53 AM

Do you want a new watch or something with some age?

Thanks guys (and possibly some gals!

). I'm seeing a lot of GMT votes here. I love looking at the vintage watches but I don't think that is for me and I would find it difficult to do the proper diligence on buying one.

Lucky777 · 22 June 2013, 10:11 AM

I vote for GMTIIC in either YG, TT, or Black/Blue

Dang, that is a beautiful pic!

Lgear080 · 22 June 2013, 11:23 AM

Maybe a two tone gmt pre pcl? Best value IMO.

Paksent · 22 June 2013, 11:29 AM

gmt or bust ceramic clears the new.. Go for it

jbsmith · 22 June 2013, 12:20 PM

GMTIIc, but I prefer the all black bezel with green accents.

Just not a fan of the new bicolor blue/black bezel.

Billywiz · 22 June 2013, 12:23 PM

Billywiz · 22 June 2013, 12:23 PM

GMT's are gorgeous watches!

One would compliment your Hulk well. BTW the Hulk is also one sweet Rolex. Good choice!

Andrés G · 22 June 2013, 03:01 PM

GMT 2c

Dear Steve,

I never understood why people ask others on what watch to buy?

It seems that you are buying a watch just for the sake of buying, and that seems to me, you are buying it for all the wrong reasons.

I never bought a watch just because it is a Rolex, but because I fell in love with it (design, complications, looks, feel etc...)

Perhaps you should postpone your next purchase until you find the watch that really keeps you awake at night

This is just my humble opinion

No date sub would be my choice.
