I am almost down to All Rolexes

I now almost have my entire collection as all Rolex. With exception of two. Pam 424 and Breitling SuperOcean 44 Blue Dial. I actually have a few ads to trade for 1 Rolex. Which Rolex do you think would fill my collection best? I am looking at maybe Explorer 2 40mm or 42mm. white or black, Milgauss GV, Older Sub with date. Let me know your thoughts I attached a pic of collection. Not looking at adding too much $ in a trade or possibly a even trade

Variety is the spice of life

You have a nice collection of crowns, I would trade a Rolex for an omega and call that case closed.

Nice watch box. I would add an Omega Heritage Seamaster 300 on leather and a Jaegre Lecoultre.

Sweet bezel collection! I like that your other considerations are also basically the same watch with even more bezel variety.

All great choices. If I were you, I’d stop buying and start enjoying each piece.

Nice collection, OP. I would trade the Pam and Breitling toward a white dial Explorer II or Milgauss.

Tough crowd! Nice collection. Milgauss, OP41 in a fun color, 41mm no date sub would all go well! Of course a Daytona never hurt a collection. The usual suspects.

Nice collection. Among the options you listed, I’d probably go with the Polar Explorer 2. If it were me, I’d consider trading the Seadweller and the BLNR towards a VC Overseas 4500v and maybe put any remaining cash toward a watch with a leather strap, like a Jaeger MUT Moon.

Nice collection! I get an Exp 1, Exp II (both would add some dial variety) or a Daytona so you have a chrono

too boring.

You should be trading out of Rolex into AP/Patek/Lange or some other very nice brands.

All Rolex is nothing special these days. Too many ppl with the same exact collections.

Great collection. Funny I’m 5 Rolex + 1Omega + 1Pam too. And I’m not looking to add anything now, I’m quite content

Edit. Sorry, Breitling not Omega

It's not just a collection, it's an 'investment' as well.

The Breitling and Panerai add some variety and interest, but if you really must flip them for “all Rolex”, of those you mentioned, only the GV will be different enough from your other Rolexes.

Plastic bezel guards inside the felt lined watch case!? Come on man.
Why would you want all Rolex? You should start wearing them more and focus on acquiring less.

I would keep the Breitling and Panerai and look to create some diversification within the collection.

Adding a JLC, IWC, Omega or Lange would be beneficial as they would create a different look in your collection. I like Rolex a lot but the design is similar across many of the models which to me undermines the collection.

Just my humble 10c of opinion.
