I say look at an AP ROO (I am in LOVE with the Rose Gold Rubberclad)
Or a Rolex Day Date.

Like you I favor sports watches but recently a DD has been really really itching me!
I have always loved them but now I think I need one and I am 36 & wear Jeans and
a TShirt or sweatshirt daily.

I like you want a platinum Day Date ice blue w/romans, but that is a hell of alot cheese. I really think I may be shopping for the AP.

Scott, Being the DD may be too dressy, have you given any thought to the new larger TT DJ.

You said you were thinking about an AP ROO--one of my personal favorite watches--have owned 3--RG Rubberclad, Safari and now the Black Rubberclad--my favorite one of all--a keeper for me!!!! Go for it--so unique--never see anyone wearing one! Also--love the Panerai 275--another great choice!!

A Big Pilot would look killer on your wrist. Would add somehing different to your awesome collection.

Have you considered....

The Yacht Master 2?



...with all the yachting in El Paso and whatnot!

Btw, nice collection!! I notice you prefer the more sporty/rugged models. The PAM and ROO are pretty awesome. My cousin just got the white face ROO and it's even nicer in person. JLC's are nice too but if I trend that way I'd prefer something sport/dressy, like the duometre chronograph:



Whatever it is, you know we'll be happy to see it! Good luck and let us know what you decide!

It would be good to have a budget as a starting range for recommendation.

I think it would be good to branch out to other brands, you have most of the best Rolex sports watches already.

Breuguet XXI is a good choice and fairly unique, VC Overseas Chrono is my favorite, and if you want a truly unique watch - may want to rethink AP ROOs. I see many ROOs in my daily motions.

What about an Royal Oak instead, more versatile with dressing up and down, classic with historical design.

My opinion.

I would like to spend 15k or less (less is better). BTW I really like all the suggestions specially the AP ROO and the IWC Big Pilot.

Thanks Paul, I saw the JLC Duometre and a Extreme World Chronograph Tourbillion at a JLC watch show, wow what watches.

Of all the watches in my collection the DSSD and the PAM233 get 90% of the wrist time, so what I get I want to be really inspired to wear it.
