That is beautiful. Amazing piece

You don't need a GMT, you have the Explorer.

You don't need a Submariner - you have the Omega (Which is way better).

You should definitely get a chrono though, that's what you need in the collection. I think the Speedmaster would be a great addition to this stunning and way more interesting collection than the 90% of collectors you see on here.

There's absolutely nothing interesting about seeing someone that acquires a Steel Daytona, Kermit Sub and Pepsi GMT.

[RoRoRo]

Any chrono

As your collection is sporty heavy I’m gonna suggest a left field choice

An IWC portofino in rose gold blue dial. Let’s get some colour in there

any chrono would be good addition to your collection.....

Zenith El Primero.

Thanks for the compliments and I appreciate your comment! Zenith and Speedy are at the top of the list.

Any particular reference or model?

As someone suggested…too many Rolexes. And I’ll add with similar hour markings. ( EXP the exception)

That leaves chronographs. I usually don’t like chronographs since they pretty much all look the same to me, EXCEPT the Speedmaster. So, there you go.

Here's my current lineup and also a list of considerations.

Current:
Omega SMP 300m "Great White"
Grand Seiko "Skyflake"
Rolex Explorer 39mm
Rolex Explorer II Polar
Rolex Yacht Master 42mm


Considering:
Rolex Submariner *no date (would likely part ways with the omega in this scenario)
Rolex GMT Master II blnr or blro
Omega Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch (Sapphire sandwich)
Zenith El Primero
Rolex Daytona (Fat chance.. I know)

Any favorites that I should consider? Thanks!

[HHIslander]

Good choices listed, I'd also take a look at the Breitling Chronomat 42 B01.

That’s a beautiful piece,,

[Robf52]

GMT, either BLRO or BLNR to provide some nice color and functionality.

[Stevec14]

I’d you can get one, I’d add a 321 steel speedy. Otherwise the previously mentioned chrono master sport is lovely

Appreciate this comment. I hadn’t picked up on the similarity of the hour markings although now it is painfully obvious. Thank you!

I had the opportunity today to have my first in-person view and handling of the newer Omega Moonwatch. (I looked at the Hesalite, but they had the dual Sapphire too.)
It is more impressive in the hand than at the website, or in posted photos (as are almost all watches, right?)

No wonder it is so popular. Am currently "considering" the Hesalite as my next watch.

Sorry dude, that is not the "Great White." I don't care what Mosso says. Great White needs to have TEETH.

Ahh, I stand corrected. Thanks for dropping some knowledge on me!

I second the JLC Polaris Chrono. JLC itself is a severely underrated brand.

[Stan Cooper]

Zenith Chronomaster Sport (El Primero) since you don't have a chronograph, or GMT-Master II BLRO if having a chronograph isn't a high priority.

Personally, I think a lot of chronograph owners buy them for their aesthetic appeal and rarely, if ever, use the recorders.

[warrior]

Of course, it’s popular amongst WIS….and for a reason. And not only because of its history IMO.

Incredibly cool and distinctive. Again,IMO, if you select a random 10 guys off the street with chronographs ( Including a Speedmaster) and ask them which one looks the most unique, I’d be willing to bet that most would pick the speedy. Not all, of course, but most.

Why???? The vast majority of chronographs ( and that includes the Daytona) have busy and/or cluttered dial faces. They blend!

The Speedmaster with its cool retro dome, clean lines and symmetry stands apart. It’s handsome and does NOT try too hard with flash or clutter.

You’re welcome! You have great quality watches in your collection, no doubt. Best of luck with your search

Agree completely. I’ve been very close buying one of these multiple times. I really like the new upgrades with the movement, bracelet, etc. I’ve had the opportunity to purchase some other allocated pieces this year that I have kept me from buying the speedmaster. Might just be time for me to pull the trigger on this one…

[Ny325]

Not one your considering, however, I suggest a 36mm DateJust.

Not on your list however a Milgauss would fill that spot nicely; I'd think that the Sub although a great watch would be too much like your beautiful Yacht Master. Other than that I'd go for a Daytona!!!
