Which Rolex to add?
Here's my current stable of favorites. I am currently looking to replace my Omega Speedmaster Date (not shown) with another Rolex.
Any suggestions? I am curious to see what ideas you might have as to diversifying my collection. Please keep in mind that the Daytona is out of my price range. Thanks! |

diver, sub or SD
but the speedy is nice, i would keep that! your explorer and speedy are the keepers imho... i would consider trading the others before either of those two.

Daytona would fit right into such a classy collection...but you can't go wrong with the iconic Sub either.

You've got the TZ, chrono, and dress watch functions covered, so I'd go with a Sub mainly because you don't have one and everyone should have one.

Thank you all. You have given me some food for thought, but isn't the YM very close to the Sub?

I for one would never flip a Speedmaster but if you must then I'd go with some type of Sub.

So here's my Speedmaster 40mm Date that many of you have been telling me to keep.
Is it too small for a Speedmaster? |

Wow, I wouldn't replace any of them, never mind a Speedmaster. I very much like the YM, consider sporty, but somewhat more refined, dressy than the Sub, no overlap in my book.

Add the 116610 LVC (the Hulk) for the win...and watch the rotation all but disappear on your collection!

Another vote for the SubC but you shouldn't buy a watch based on how much money you have. Find what you like (SS Daytona/SS YM2 perhaps?) and save for it.

I'm feeling a yellow gold Submariner Blue!!!!
However if that's a problem, I'd go with the new GMT or the Hulk!!

Omega shown is a seamaster? = Keeper, very nice piece! and Explorer II Polar is a personal favorite! i would definitely consider a "speedy pro / hesalite" for your white dial speedmaster, imho, it would round out your choices nicely!
