+1 above, or...

If your lifestyle isn't too dressy, like many of the younger set today, I would consider the WG BLRO or "Rootbeer" (they look dressy and sporty). With this collection at this age you'll certainly bag a DD eventually, so no hurry there.

Perhaps time for a dress watch?

I love that combo you have now.

BLRO would be perfect but if this piece doesn’t appeal to you, how about a Seadweller?

I only have a 7” wrist and feel like the SD43 was a little bulky on me. The sub doesn’t overpower my wrist like the SD or DS did.

WG DD with Blue Dial would fit nicely with your current duo

Expand and get away from the ceramic bezel. Fluted or smooth, maybe a PM piece. I would go explorer SS or DD for a pm watch

Maybe I should just get a GMT Tudor, and wait until I can pick up a FPJ CB at MSRP.

You have two GREAT sport models. A DJ41 may be of consideration. With so many different combinations to choose from it can work well with any collection. I ordered the exact one l wanted, paid in front for a good discount and got it in three weeks. I'm surprised actually that I like it much more than I thought.

This DJ is beautiful, its the only one I'd consider buying. However I'd be struggling to decide between smooth or fluted bezel and jubilee or oyster bracelet!

I’m digging the FPJ over a PM Rolex. I think I have room for one more SS watch before going for my accessible grail:

GMT Master II in one of these configurations - full RG if you can afford it!

I think the BBGMT fits in very well with this sort of trio. A little different than yours, but you get the idea.

I’m thinking of asking my fiancé to get the Tudor GMT as a gift, and then just focusing on acquiring a FPJ CB. Nice trio btw!

And, if you love the Tudor get it. But if not, I challenge you not to share your life's memories with a stand-in. Food for thought brother...

The BLRO and BLNR are not worth the hype. I say get two things:

1.) A 5-digit beater 14060m or 16570
2.) A solid gold Skydweller (if you are a globetrotter), or the YG Bluesy all damn day!!!

Best wishes
