I currently have a Sinn 556, BLRO and a DJII.

The Sinn is my “beater” vacation watch and I wear the other two in a regular rotation.

These are the watches that seem interesting to me now:

-Blancpain Bathyscape
-Rolex “Hulk”
-Omega Seedmaster
-Grand Seiko SBGA229

What would you recommend?

Only 2 and 3, not the others no way.

Hulk gets my vote! Patiently waiting for mine..

Something with a white dial

Pongster · 9 September 2019, 12:34 PM

A white dial speedmaster. Planting the seed in your brain that there are a number of speedy variants.

The BP bathyscape

AOW

Seamaster 300 42 MM with blue dial or a grey dial. Very nice watch and a fantastic value. You might want to consider a white dial IWC Portofino on leather strap.

journemaster · 9 September 2019, 01:38 PM

panda daytona perhaps?

Matteo E · 9 September 2019, 01:56 PM

Thanks to everyone for all the ideas and replies do far!

I’ll have to check out the Speedmaster variations. Is there a good online resource that includes them all?

Also would like to add that I could likely get most any model Rolex from AD, however anything I purchased I would be keeping, so take future resale value out of the equation.

Thanks,
Matt

Speedmaster or Hulk

scombs263 · 9 September 2019, 02:41 PM

Sub or SD43. Best would be a Hulk.

domo69 · 9 September 2019, 03:05 PM

Go old school, and get the Speedmaster.. Because sooner or later Everybody end up with a speedy.

Mr. K · 9 September 2019, 03:08 PM

Speedy

pomelowatches · 9 September 2019, 04:14 PM

I'd go with a Chronograph. Diversify your bonds.

I was going to say grab a Daytona, but given the wait for those what about a Speedy like others have suggested on here?

Onequik135i · 9 September 2019, 05:46 PM

Speedy.

JayHantz · 9 September 2019, 09:50 PM

I think that every collection needs the Speedmaster. An absolute icon that is easy to dress up and down, goes with the bracelet, strap, and about any NATO out there, and it adds a chronograph complication to your rotation.

Chester01 · 9 September 2019, 10:05 PM

Speedy, for strap versatility on this question. All of your pieces have bracelets. However why is it that your sinn is the beater vacation watch, when the gmt can handle that role quite nicely? I use my Daytona as my beater vacation watch, trust me rolex can survive it.

fskywalker · 9 September 2019, 10:15 PM

Speedmaster from that list

The Hulk if your money is right and the Speedmaster if you want a great watch at 1/5 the price of the Hulk.

Mtlguy52 · 9 September 2019, 10:42 PM

Daytona

Hawkeye1 · 10 September 2019, 01:19 AM

Hulk, then Speedy

Dr. Robert · 10 September 2019, 01:23 AM

Rolex hulk gets my vote

TurboTim14 · 10 September 2019, 01:25 AM

I think a Speedmaster would compliment your collection nicely. I would go for a vintage one.

nicon · 10 September 2019, 02:11 AM

Speedmaster, you need a chrono.

The main reason is because I have the bracelet sized a little loose for the inevitable vacation swelling :)

Seedmaster sounds interesting
