what next?
Just received a call from my local AD that my Pepsi had arrived, what a way to end the summer. Now thinking about my next acquisition , my current Rolex collection consists of the following:
Blue Stainless Skydweller Stainless Daytona with Black Face Stainless Daytona with White Face Hulk Batman Black Submariner with Date 50th Anniversary SeaDweller Cameron SeaDweller Partial to stainless... Anything that someone could suggest that would round out the collection? |

How do you like your Skydweller? That might be my next purchase.

the sky dweller is great!
I was thinking about Datejust 41mm with slate face and green roman markers. the GMT -Master II , too similar to the others? |

Are you buying just to accumulate or do you actually want another watch? I never understand these “tell me what I should buy” posts.
Into vintage? 1675/16750/16600/16660 PM? DD 18238/118238 |

One hell of a SS sports collection. Can we get some pictures by any chance?
At this point I think you either need to start collecting AP or PP or start with PM pieces Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

You really like these watches, OP, or you have them, because it's the complete list of all wanna-haves?

You could never round out your collection because your desire would never be controlled.

Lovely collection. What non-Rolexes do you have? I ask because, other than a DD or DJ, it sounds like you’ve got the Rolex world extremely well covered

To stay with the white metal theme in your collection how about a WG or Platinum DD or Daytona.

Personally, I think you're quite a sad case and there are numerous people on here that also fall into this category.
You've just gained what many would call a dream watch, and rather than be happy. Rather than indulge yourself in the watch. Your first question is, "What's next?" Why not enjoy what you have? Why not wait until you see something that pops your eye? Why not wait for the emotion to be conjured? Do you really need the approval of your "peers"? To me it appears that you have lost your enjoyment of your hobby and it has now just become a relentless pursuit of top trumps/completing my pokemon set/full set. It's actually sad. I feel bad for you. Oh well, enjoy your meaningless pursuit that will bring you little to no joy. |

I had to say what I said because I know the majority of people on here are enablers, because they too suffer from this empty pursuit of completing a full set of Rolex's. It's a meaningless and empty challenge. If I can make someone think about their actions, they may also realise the futility of their situation. Oh well, my bad for rocking the boat. Guess I'm green :) |

I don’t know what OP’s situation is. I know nothing about his finances, his lifestyle or his wants and needs.. maybe you do know all of this information so you are in a better position to pass comment on what is right and wrong for him. But, I would argue that if you don’t know OP or his situation then you are in no position to judge. Would I buy all of those pieces? No I wouldn’t, I have a quite large wrist so the majority would be Useless to me. If OP can easily afford this collection and be and his loved ones are happy, safe and secure I see no problem with it. Each to their own Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Time to look outside of Rolex, as you have a strong collection. I would be looking at the IWC Portuguese, the JLC deepsea, IWC Mark XII, Hesilite Speedy pro, or a Grand Seiko.

I would get a PM now, think you've collected all the populars now so time to move up to the next level.
