Icon7 Hi everyone! Just another happy Rolex owner saying hi to you all
I just recently begin this point of no return journey as I plunged into the abyss of collecting Rolex's......

Just like to say hi to you all. Currently, I have Yachmaster II steel, Ceramic Hulk, GMT II Batman, and Daytona 116500LN white dial, and Daytona ceramic Platinum.

What do you all experienced Rolex owners think my next one should be? Any opnion will be greatly appreciated!

Thank you all in advance !

Welcome aboard this crazy train

You'll learn quickly here, pics or it didn't happen!! Would love to see some pictures of that awesome collection.

My vote to add to that collection would be the DD40.

I think I'm going to start a thread "does your watch box match your collection"

Fantastic collection! I truly find the GMT LN a lot more charming than the BLNR!

As for the next watch, a DD!

Cheers

LOL. I totally get you here. Call me a paranoid. but living in California, I never know when the next earthquake wills strike so I prefer to put my watches in a rugged water and shock proof box so that way I can bring them with me in case anything happens LOL. I know..it's kinda dumb. if you have a better suggestion, I am all ears !

Since you have mostly sport watches, the DD would be a great addition. The rose gold yachtmaster on rubber or the new SS Skydweller might be a good option as well.

yes. PP would be very very nice. May I ask what would be a definitve fool-proof PP model you would suggest me? One of the reasons I go mainly with Rolex is that I do not see myself as a very delicate person and Rolex is rugged enough for me.

5711 nautilus is a bench mark model, highly desirable and sort after, simple and elegant.
5167 and 5164 aquanaut fits an active lifestyle, the rubber band can easily be replaced.
Personally I like the 5960 sports annual calendar chrono, 5726r rose gold and 5980.

Seeing your collection consists only of sports models, a dressier watch should fit in nicely. Like others here suggested a DD40 is a charm with the new 3255 movement.

5711/1A without a doubt

Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe you meant 3255
