Any suggestion for next addition?

Why not? Looks like a Daytona would fit great! Do it!

If youre sticking with Rolex, that would be a great addition. Do it, you'll be happy you did I'm betting.

depends on what you like but I think something drastically different looking than the sub/gmt platform is needed. Panda Daytona would be sweet

i did have the white dial daytona for a short while…
ultimately it wasn't what i thought it would be and i sold it after just a few months

it is a top piece in the rolex sports line up and it did get a lot of compliments when i wore it, in the end it just wasn't for me

ps i do like having a white dial option, so i picked up the ExpII

I think you need gold next and maybe something dressier so a DD2. Or outside Rolex an AP Jumbo or PP Nautilus.

I'd say a DJ2 or a DD2 with a fluted bezel. It would give you a really nice dress watch

AP Royal Oak or Patek Nautilus but if sticking with Rolex, a stainless steel Daytona would be a nice addition.

Considering your existing collection, I'd vote for this:

If you're asking daytona then it's obviously on your mind. My vote goes to WG Daytona.

Since you have three black-dials a white-dial SS Daytona would add some contrast and fit in well, IMO, especially since you obviously like sport watches. I just bought one barely a month ago and it's an impressive timepiece, for sure. The downsides are is that it is hard to see in low light and the PCL bracelet and polished exterior of the watch make the potential for scratches high, so I don't wear it anywhere except in low-risk environments.

Daytona is a must have. Now 16520 Zénith is a future collectible, the Vajoux series are so expensive these days
