Hi everyone,

Below is my current collection, most are sentimental to me. The reverso a gift from my parents, BLNR my first Rolex, DD40 marked a milestone of mine, Daytona was at list and the RO bought with money following the passing of a relative…

I don’t think I want to sell any, apart from maybe the omega, but I’m not sure from here where to go. I feel I have many boxes ticked in terms of complications, materials, case size and shape and manufactures

Just wanting some advice on where I could go from here

Divingdeep87 · 15 July 2023, 06:15 AM

I would say a starbucks or a hulk. You need a green dial watch. Could also be AP or PP.

Or maybe something on rubber? Aquanaut, daytona etc.

brandrea · 15 July 2023, 06:18 AM

I think you’re done, but I’m the wrong guy to ask as I’m trying to figure out how to downsize

Tim Plains · 15 July 2023, 06:19 AM

You don't need another, but if you must waste money, Speedmaster gets my vote.

Bartman9 · 15 July 2023, 06:29 AM

Nice collection!

Belinus · 15 July 2023, 06:33 AM

Maybe a Sub but that collection looks fantastic

ikincooper · 15 July 2023, 06:44 AM

Wonderful collection. Perhaps an AP Diver or Offshore on a rubber strap. The grey dial diver would complement your collection

If you don't know where to go next, the answer is nowhere. The next candidate will ambush you in due course. In the meantime you can enjoy the hell out of your superb collection.

prnceofpersia23 · 15 July 2023, 06:47 AM

Rose gold Aquanaut

Zuger · 15 July 2023, 08:35 AM

You can always look into other Swiss brands (Blancpain, Breguet), or something made in Germany (Nomos, GO) or Japan (Grand Seiko).

WatchTimes · 15 July 2023, 08:41 AM

Very nice collection
If it was me Id dump the Omega and Id add a Speedmaster and a ND sub and Id be quite content.

RoRoRo · 15 July 2023, 08:43 AM

Stunning collection. Great variety. Perhaps a field/pilot/dive watcg

enjoythemusic · 15 July 2023, 08:57 AM

Mainstream stuff... Speedy, Cartier, Heuer Monaco... or add 'different' with a Bvlgari Octo. How about a Christopher Ward Bel Canto C1? I'd add something that truly expands the styling diversity.

Hems · 15 July 2023, 09:44 AM

You have a nice collection already but you can add a speedy.

thenewrick · 15 July 2023, 10:00 AM

Maybe a fun watch with more color like a Nomos, Celebration dial, Milgauss, Stone dial, Bluesy, Or something over the top like a rainbow gemset or gemset Sub type of thing, maybe some haute horologia piece like a Moser complication

aehaas · 15 July 2023, 10:03 AM

Grand Seiko 5 day spring drive watch. There are dress up and divers out there. My collection is similar but I have two 5 day GS watches.

Ali

Carguy87 · 15 July 2023, 10:13 AM

VTNR on jubilee for some variety? Maybe the new green dial SkyD? Otherwise if you got a piece from VC you’d complete the “Holy Trinity”. A VC overseas with all the strap variety could be a cool add.

Anything speak to you that you’ve seen? You have a killer collection btw

foreignexport · 15 July 2023, 12:03 PM

swap the Omega for Speedmaster heritage
then sit back and enjoy the collection

kaiserphoenix · 15 July 2023, 12:39 PM

Great collection. I think you can ofcourse end at this point as that is a respectable collection but if you want to take it up a notch, I would either consider going to an established independent watch maker, for example MB&F, FP JOURNE, Romain Gauthier for example. Otherwise I would venture into a grand complication, like a Perpetual Calendar or manual wind split seconds for example. Doesn't need to be from Patek.

OG1982 · 15 July 2023, 04:41 PM

Great collection, maybe just enjoy what you have

pearson1995 · 15 July 2023, 05:51 PM

Thanks for the replies everyone. I’m surprised a lot of you are saying to leave the collection as it is! Very sensible but not what I expected from trf

Submariner LV or Aquanaut are both on my radar. Maybe after those a Perpetual Calendar. I appreciate everyone’s input.

bullies · 15 July 2023, 08:57 PM

Try something on oyster flex. Sporty and very comfortable.
Great collection

travisb · 15 July 2023, 09:02 PM

That's a great mix as is. Can always add a Sub to any collection.

rmlovett1 · 15 July 2023, 09:05 PM

Looks good as is. If I were adding …I’d add green sub, new or previous generation.

Number3 · 15 July 2023, 09:11 PM

Tudor Black Bay red on jubilee (sorry - 5 link!) bracelet. Bit of fun and colour to balance some of those high end pieces. Alternatively, bin the current Seamaster and swap it for the new 300M in Summer blue.

Lovely collection BTW.

RaZCaL · 15 July 2023, 09:14 PM

Complete the holy trinity. Get a VC Overseas

CPZorro · 15 July 2023, 09:55 PM

Vacheron Constantin overseas would be my vote.

cdm765 · 15 July 2023, 09:57 PM

That collection is so damn good. Not a thing is needed, but if you twist my arm I would say…

Lange 1 or Vacheron 1921 would be on my list.
