Suggestions for a 3 watch collection?

What would you guys add to this pair?

Keep in mind that I dont want to have a large collection of watches, want to wear them, I have had other rolex and also bigger watches like Panerai and AP ROO, but finally decided that I prefer smaller watches, so, Im almost decided for a Royal Oak 15202 but would like to hear alternatives(not buying soon), what would you get for your 3rd watch?

The BLNR is my beater/tool/travel watch, the 5711 is the sporty chic/dress

Thanks in advance!

Excellent beginning

I would choose an aquanaut over the 15202 for the simple reason of diversity.

Something smaller and dressier could round that out nicely.

Something with a leather strap. Perhaps a rose gold reverso

Since you have both bases covered as above, maybe A dress watch on a strap. I'd vote PP5960 annual calendar.

You're really lacking a Chronograph in there imo. You have good taste so your choice.

Both are sport watches on steel... You could use a dress watch on a strap, maybe something from JLC, GO, or ALS.

Personally I'd diversify the metal- something with gold- either a two tone or solid gold piece- anything from Rolex will do, AP's steel/RG 15400 looks good.

ALS 1815 chrono.
Different brand, different complication and different style.

How about a AP RO Chrono? A white face covers the 3 main colours and the watch fits in with your sports collection - a better chrono than a Daytona IMO and you will keep a bit of diversity in your collection by having 3 different brands and face colours.

Next option would be a RG leather band dress PP 5205r or a 5960 perhaps if you wanted am AC or chrono itch scratched

Apreciatte the help, all great suggestions so far thank you, but, nobody agrees with me on the 15202??

I think maybe you guys are right and its time to start searching for a proper dress watch to round up the collection

Several suggestions:

Rose gold: Daytona on strap, Calatrava, Hublot,
Or something in a vintage Rolex.

With your collection I'd say an AP. So like you said a regular Royal oak or for a little variety try a ROC. Nothing at all wrong with a Daytona though

The 15202 is awesome, but you already have a 5711.

An 5167 Aquanaut could be a nice addition to add a sportier rubber watch.

But I would really go for a dress watch if you wear suits often, a PP Calatrava, a VC Patrimony or a Lange would be nice. Or a JLC Master Ultra Thin if you don't want to spend that much.

I would go ALS 1815 (+/- chrono), ALS Lange 1 or Chocolate Daytona on leather, I love the 15202 but it is very similar to the existing two.

Very nice collection!
When selecting a new watch, go with your gut. Don’t always listen to others. Your eye transmits an image to your brain. If you feel good – buy it.

with that said, I would add a Daytona.
Happy hunting!
