One space left in the box.....what could it be next?
Insightful members of TRF,
With one space in the watch box i'm getting that itch to fill it. I am waiting to see a DaytonaC white dial in the flesh to see if that will sit well with the others and alongside the 116520 white dial. But no such calls as yet from the local AD's. My other inclining is the SubC TT sunburst blue dial as I don't have a PM piece. So what would you be going to view to fill the gap....? Really enjoy reading the opinions and reasonings. (The citizen bottom right has to stay as it was my first "real" watch purchase back in my teens, so has some good memories, and is probably the beginning of my likes for the white dial watches) |

Replace the black bay or black sub with a hulk, replace the 116520 with a white ceramic Daytona get a liquid metal PO or dark side of the moon for the non-Rolex row. :)

I like the bluesy option. Also, the Lvc, as suggested.
In a different direction, how about one of the new Basel releases, like the EXP or AK? |

That's the danger of watch boxes, feeling the need to fill them. I decommissioned my 10 watch box and bought a 6 watch box to consolidate a bit.
For your collection an LV would fit nicely to add something different, otherwise get a smaller box, consolidate a bit, and add some PM as others have suggested. |

Personally....I'd get a 5 digit reference. Either 16710, 16600, or 16610LV.

How about something on the dressier side? Do you like Reversos?
Or maybe a Cellini? |

All your dials are either black or white, so something with a different colour dial. As you say, TT Sub blue dial would sit well. Also think about a YM blue, a Sub LVc or D-Blue.
Nice problem to have, good luck

Very nice collection! Add some more color. The 116613 LB would be a great choice. Or maybe a vintage 1675.

I tend to agree with your TT sub idea. Two tone and blue dial will make it unique in your collection. I would upgrade the black bay to a hulk, upgrade 114060 to sd4k, get rid of the omega diver it's redundant, get rid of anything in the bottom right quadrant too. Good luck.
