Looking for that third watch...5980, hulk and ?

Hello Everyone,

I have a 5980/1a and a LV. I don't really wear suits so that rules out dress watches...I don't really like AP... What would you add as a third watch?

A 5164 would suit your collection well.

Yours are a higher end chronograph and a diver. I'd do something with a complication you don't have or go PM.

A Day-Date would do both, a GMT II would be a nice addition as well.

How about an Aqua Terra (they come in many "flavors") on leather? Or go in the complete other direction & get a YG DD? Seeing the two pieces you have, I don't want to assume that "money isn't a factor," because that's uncouth, but I can see you don't buy EcoDrives... What price bracket are you looking at?

Very nice, Neil.

OP: How about something on rubber or leather? Thinking oyster flex daytona or ym. Or the DD options sounds good, too.

A Lange 1 Time Zone Luminous. That or a FP Journe GMT. I think a killer independent with a function you don't have would be a perfect companion to those other 2 heavy hitters.

You have a Chrono and you have a diver. Maybe something with a different complication? Perhaps PM?
