What would be your 3rd choice watch?

Big thank you to everyone that answered my post yesterday, this forum has really helped me out and now I do not feel guilty having purchased two watches in the space of two weeks.

I have found though that after buying Rolexes and realising how happy they make me when I wear them I'm already looking at what could be my next addition! (Is this the Rolex sickness?)

I suppose after the crazy waiting lists on some models there would be no harm registering my interest on some possible 3rd purchases in the future.

What would you guys choose as your perfect 3rd piece after owning these?

SS DJ 41 Wimbledon jubilee fluted bezel
Sub NON Date 114060


Look forward to hearing your opinions, many thanks.

I’d go for a GMT.

Either a BLNR/BLRO. Be prepared for big lists for both though, especially BLRO (Pepsi)

I would say GMT has to be on your list.

A great collection you have now, i think a GMT of whatever hue bezel insert takes your fancy will round your collection off perfectly.

I really do like the GMT but was thinking it was too similar to a sub especially being that my preference really does lean towards the batman. Even though I'm a purist and the Pepsi is the original I just think batman looks more attractive.

Really love the steel Daytona with either dial, but having black sub would probably prefer white dial black ceramic bezel (beautiful piece). Just wonder how long will I have to wait for that!!!

Yep, Daytona in any variant definitely gives you the most variety. The GMT would be ideal when you inevitably decide to add a fourth.

Yes. But it won't kill you and there is a cure - although expensive and lengthy.

My third Rolex was a Z-Blue. It called to me from my AD's window as I walked past. My first was a 42mm Polar (AD), soon followed by a Hulk (grey). The Milgauss was so different from them and cheeky enough to be interesting. It was a good third addition for me. I couldn't begin to guess what might interest you. Just go with your heart and don't let the illness expose you to rip off artists.

I also have a Blusey now. Why a Blusey and a Hulk? They couldn't be more different for two things which are essentially the same. If that makes any kind of sense.

As others gave said, GMT would be a good addition. Additionally, white Panda Daytona or Bluesy two-tone Sub (to add some Color) would also be complimentary.

I would go with the Polar Explorer II. Change up the dial color and look.

I also have a SubC and a Wimbledon. How about one of these to mix it up...The Zblues are not hard to find at an AD. I saw one yesterday.

Nice job on the Wimbledon. I vote that you should relax and enjoy those two for a while. It’s not always about what’s next.

I’ll throw in a different option: How about a blue dial YM 116622?

GMT obvs. Maybe Explorer or Yacht Master. An older five digit reference? To some extent all the 6s look the same if that’s all you have.
