Stop buying steel sports Rolex. If you want another Rolex, go Day-Date for variation. Check out other brands.

I've been quite intrigued by the Seiko Prospex LX Titanium 300m with spring drive.

Snoopy Speedmaster is another option for something a little different.

Well I got tired of waiting on the Daytona so I picked up a speedmaster . This is a really cool watch It surprised me! I’ll still get a Daytona if I ever get the call.

With a collection like that, I'd stay away from most SS Rolex models. Just my opinion but don't get into the whole I'm going to collect every color in the rainbow mentality some get into.

The Daytona is a great option because it's so different. Explorer works but it can overlap with a No-Date Sub. Milgauss if you feel eccentric. Stay away from the divers, GMTs, and Explorer II. You already have enough classic sports looking Rolex watches.

If you don't mind a larger size, then flip one of those Subs and pick up an SD43. Personally, I'm a big fan of the DAY-DATE but it doesn't look like it'll fit your lifestyle but hey maybe you want something different for those special occassions?

I personally think the classic Speedy is the best bang for the buck in the entire watch world. Grats on a great choice!

I vote white dial Daytona C and possibly a Stainless, Oyster DJ for a basic simple non-sport watch. Something like a 16200, an Exp1 or a new 39mm OP or 40mm Air King.

1. DJ41 flutted / jubilee or Explorer 1 (sporty and dressy)

To get away from Rolex, aqua terra or GS (snowflake or similar style hi-beat or spring drive).

2.el primero, Daytona or speedy (speedy least favorite option) for a Chrono
