Thanks for all the replies!!! I am very happy with my collection!

I think my next piece will have to be the 6263 big red daytona. I absolutely love that piece!

Here are some of my non rolex favorites in my collection.

Love your Rolex collection. That yellow Gold DDII with the ivory concentric dial is on my wish list titled "someday."

If I may, I love that you have multiple vintage Submariners and chose the LV to change it up as a modern addition. You have the vintage GMT Master with a Pepsi bezel on a Jubilee bracelet, simply the best iteration of this reference I can think of. The remainder of your modern collection is well rounded with a nice white dial Daytona to contrast with the BLNR, a Milgauss for funsies, and the Day Date II to piss off the neighbors. Beautiful, well thought out collection.
