So here's my collection with my new Milgauss. I like having a collection of 12 with cheaper watches to give me options. Ideally I want to get rid of one of the watches in the top row and add one more to round out a core collection of 3: Nomos Tangente, Rolex Milgauss, and _______. That way I'll have 3 "nice" watches. I'm looking for a black dial sports watch to fill this spot, leaving me with a white, blue, and black dial. I know the obvious choice is a Speedmaster Pro, but I want to see what else you guys have to suggest. I've also been trying not to repeat brands, so no brands that are already in the box please! I like diversity. Also, stainless steel is preferable. Thanks!

Oh, and no budget. I'm willing to save as long as necessary to get what I want. But let's not be ridiculous with suggestions....Maybe I should say $20k just to be safe...but the cheaper the better for my wallet, obviously.

How about an AP RO?

I'll post my same answer for consistency:

Speedmaster would be the obvious, and budget friendly, option.

I'll throw a curveball and recommend a JLC Deepsea Chronograph.

Another option would be to look at an AP Diver. Lots of good options there.

Have you seen/worn the Deepsea Chrono? I like that it has the diver feel with a chrono, kills two birds with one stone. I was actually looking into it before you mentioned it!

Maybe a Panerai

Throw another chronograph into the mix. Zenith El Primero Original 1969. They look awesome in person.

Yeah that's very good advice and options, all depends on your budget but these 3 are great choices at different budget levels, on the JLC level a Blancpain fifty fathoms is an awesome piece as well

I'd have to suggest a royal oak. Really the only "next step"... heh

Patek 5167A

Personally I'd get rid of pretty much every 'cheap' watch, get a Seiko diver as a 'cheapo' beater and add a Patek Philippe Aquanaut.

Now we're talking

Unless they have sentimental meaning of course.

Yea if they have sentimental value I wouldn't sell them of course.
