My Collection - Clash of the Watches; what's next?

[RationalPragmatist]

After a very long hiatus of having no watches, I’m back in the game. Even before the hiatus, I hadn’t really collected anything of note other than a few art watches that were stolen in a burglary at my previous abode. I convinced myself, “who needs a watch when you got an iPhone” but than Apple put out the Apple Watch and I purchased one in steel.

It was a ‘costly mistake’ because than I decided that I needed watches after all and the miniature iPhone on a wrist wasn’t enough; a ‘real’ watch was needed and one that was no less high-tech than the Apple Watch. Named after the first quartz watch, the modern Seiko Astron SSE079 is powered by any level of rumination and synchronizes with GPS to provide precision accuracy, even accounting for leap seconds.

Than I decided that I must have a traditional mechanical watch but not just any mechanical watch; I wanted the ultimate symbol of excellence - Rolex. The desire in part stemmed from an unfortunate mistake of the past. Many moons ago, I was stationed in Turkey and purchased a fake Rolex sub. Even in my young & dumb days, I realized it was a foolish blunder as soon I wore the thing; being a low-life poser was not in my DNA. As I tossed the fake into the garbage, I thought perhaps one day I’ll get a real one and that day was Saturday last as acquired the BLNR.

One would think after getting a Rolex, it would be enough but it’s not - I’ve been day dreaming about a fine manual watch to round it all out. Perhaps a JLC Reverso Duo, a Speedster “Man on the Moon”, or even a Calatrava. What would you recommend?
