Next watch, need clarity

[Etschell]

So I am down to a few watches but am open to other options.

Black bay s&g
116200 white stick
114200 green stick

I currently have a 114060 and a pelagos blue. My wrist is 6.5 or so and I think a 34 or 36 mm would be fine.

My budget is 5k and under. I could sell the pelagos blue and then would entertain a hulk but not sure if that would be a good move as I really enjoy the blue.

Thanks for any input.

116200 all the way, they will give you three dial color options and a watch that is VERY versatile. My other recommendation is a 114270, the last 36mm explorer. I have the 39mm (I have giant wrists) and it is my favorite watch.

I have 6.5-6.75 inch wrist and think the 39mm explorer or 39mm OP is a perfect fit. 36mm just lo is a tad too small IMHO when there is a 39mm option.

I agree with the above Eliot. You can carry off a 39mm but not much more than that.

Some reference of my current,

I'd go with the 116200

Really like the S&G. That said, you have a couple of divers. How about another suggestion. A speedy pro would give you a complication you don't currently have...

116200 or save a bit more for the 116300, smooth bezel....
One of the most versatile pieces all good choices though.

It's not much different price wise I agree. I considered it as well.

I like the S&G but I think I'd go for the Bluesy if I were you, Eliot, a better size and the dial is even nicer than the LVc imho. Trade one of those you have towards it.

I like that suggestion.

I know the s&g will be around 4k in a year even new. It is thick is well. I was taken back that it is thicker than the pelagos.

Was also thinking of a non ceramic bluesy with engraved rehaut.

The nonceramic bluesy was my very first Rolex. I traded it a few years ago for the ceramic version and haven't looked back. Zero regrets. If you're thinking bluesy, definitely check out the ceramic before buying anything. Right now, the 116613LN has my full attention. I've been drooling ever since seeing Gerardo's at Vegas.

Thanks for the thoughts. I like the ln as well.

I like current OP so guess not too helpful. I'd be concerned Tudor is too large. I have same size wrist and black bay eta is large but not too large - I'd be concerned the inhouse thickness would put it over the top

Agree it is 14.8 mm which is even thicker than the pelagos.

Beckham trying to look, well what exactly? Confused? The guy seems like an utter buffoon.

P.S. to the OP - try the 114300.

Thanks just wish it had the green Olive dial.

Great choices. That said, the S&G is a beauty but you seem to be happy with your current divers. The Olive Green 114200 is a nice watch but not you might have trouble flipping it down the road if needed.

IMO keep your current watches and add a modern DJ. The white stick dial is very crisp and a real pleasure to look at. Very versatile as others have mentioned. You also get the roulette date wheel which adds just the right amount of pop.

With a budget of 5k you should find a 116200 easily, but you might be able to get a 116234 if you look around. I own the white stick on jubilee and it's easily my favorite watch. Very comfortable on my 6.75 wrist, goes with everything.

For dial diversification, I would go with the 116200 white stick.
I was planning to get this before I went with 116613LB Bluesy to add to my BLNR and LVc.
