Current collection / thinking of changing it up

Hello everyone and Happy Thanksgiving

I currently have a

Oris diver (first "nice" watch)
16570
114060 (first Rolex)
116520
Blue Pelagos

I have owned and flipped the 116570

Earlier his year I tried on the everose Yachtmaster 116655 and absolutely fell in love. It was a perfect fit and very comfortable, I loved how it was understated but still very elegant. My wedding band is a Graff rose gold so this watch would match which is nice.

I work outdoors so my daily wear is the Oris, Explorer or Pelagos

For fun I enjoy camping, hiking, shooting, mountain biking, kayaking. I really don't dress up or go to formal gatherings.

I have been thinking of adding the Yachtmaster and just rebalancing the collection.

I like my Daytona but have been questioning it. I wish it had larger lume and I really don't use the chronograph. I guess it feels more like a dressy watch than a sports watch. My thoughts are to flip the Daytona and possibly the SubC toward the Yachtmaster.

The only other watch that has me eye is the Patek 5167 Aquanaut. It is simply beautiful and probably less risk of being a fad when compared to the Yacht

I can see owning the Pelagos, Explorer II and one of the above as a pretty balanced collection? Both the Yachtmaster and Patek I think could be work guilt free even in the outdoors

My concern with the Yacht is going out of style and the Patek seems so expensive for the lack of features (time and date only)

Thanks for reading and for any feedback and thoughts

Buy a Patek - a collection full of rolex is a rolex collection not a watch collection. Every watch collection IMO needs "A" rolex but it's nice to diversify

Sorry...I'm going to have to disagree with you on that one.

OP: I would flip the Daytona for the YM, but it sounds like the sub fits your lifestyle awfully well.

I agree, sounds like you like the YM but like the Patek name, trust me the name thing novelty doesn't last, always go for the watch you love on you best.

That YM is absolutely gorgeous. I keep looking at them myself but I'd have it ruined in no time. I'm hard on things.
If funds are an issue, I'd keep the Pelagos and trade th others to get that YM!
Just my opinion, but you asked. ��
