I'd go for option 6, something from the Holy Trinity. I'd go for something like the Vacheron Constantin Traditionnelle

If it has a Superhero, Beverage or Cartoon Character nickname, buy something else.

Without knowing if someone spends their free time at a pool hall or opera house and whether they work on an oil rig or in a Wall Street firm, I have no idea...

On the other hand, everyone needs an Explorer.

Option 4. Definitely need a Rolex, whether diver or gmt. Adding a Lange is a big boost, too.

I also think a sub and GMT would complement your collection well

I would buy a pre-owned, good shape no paper 16618 for around 24-25K; then hunt for a 16570 Explorer 2 for 5-6K.

Explorer 2 for days, 16618 for nights and weekends. Killer two watch collection.

Sell what you have, add proceeds to the $30K budget, buy an all gold Submariner, GMT Master II, or Daytona and wear it as your only watch every day. You won't regret it.

If I had $30k to spend on watches, it would be option 1 but BLRO instead of BLNR.

Bluesy sub for sure.. G Shock for sure (this is a GMT for travel!).. and put the rest in a world index fund. You have a great collection and just enjoy these pieces and see if your tastes change in a few years.
