Six watch collection - would you change anything?
Submariner 116610LV Hulk
Yacht-Master 126622 Rhodium Platinum Day-Date Ice blue dial / roman numeral markers / fluted bezel GMT-Master II “Rootbeer” Two Tone CHNR Bluesy 126613LB YachtMaster RG/Oysterflex 126655 I am curious what anyone would add or change about this. The most obvious answer is add a Pepsi or a Daytona. I think the Pepsi is, minority opinion here -- really not good looking. I also find the Daytona too small at its real size of 38.5mm so none stayed in the collection. With that said what would one change or add with this setup? |

If the BLRO and Daytona aren't your thing, maybe a VTNR or Skydweller to mix it up a bit?
Or explore other brands. |

I’d change everything but the DD. Like a ton of other collection thoughts/threads on TRF, you’ll get mostly everyone’s personal tastes, choices, favorites, different brand choices, etc….
Buy and enjoy what you love looking at on your wrist. If you love what you have, that’s what matters. Like I said, personally, if someone handed me your collection, I’d change everything except the DD. |

I would keep the Hulk and the Platinum DD. Both very special watches. The others, for me, not so much. A PM Sky-Dweller on bracelet and a PM Root Beer would give you a powerful four watch collection.

I'd add the 126719BLRO because it's a discrete heavy hitter and an iconic, timeless design. I'd lose the YMs (have never been able to like YM bezels), the TT CHNR (tried it, admired it but couldn't love it) and the DD (because I don't like Romans on dials). Looking at alternatives from other brands would be my next move, after I'd added a Sky Dweller - obviously!
Having said that, it's not clear why what I think should in any way affect you. If you are happy with your collection it's all that matters. |

I'd trade the YM rhodium for a BLNR jubilee and add a Skydweller.
Then you'd have enough to wear for each day of the week. |

What a great set of watches.
Personally, I would only add to it. Maybe another brand at this point? |

I’d be happy with that lineup and unless I was chasing a grail reference I’d leave it at that for now.

Hard to answer as its personal taste. I'd change a lot,
But what's universal is I dont think they should all be Rolex. Variety is good. |

Experience another brand, there’s a lot more than Rolex to enjoy!

I'd never get rid of the YMs. The most aesthetically pleasing watch to me is the Rhodium YM - but for some reason it's not favored here, haha.
