I would let go of the AirKing and OP. The Explorer (looks to be 40mm?) does the job of those too in my likely unpopular opinion :)

With the proceeds of selling the AK & OP, I'd put that towards the purchase of a daydate.

Very subjective question that is hard to answer. If it were my collection, then I would look for a dress watch with lighter dial (white). If Rolex, I’d want a white dial SS Daytona or a PM variant.

Need some dial variety. I’d say get something with a blue dial, or white could be cool too. Explorer 2 polar, skyD blue dial, blue or white dial fluted DJ, or even swap the sub for the WG sub so you get the blue bezel.

Great collection though!

Since you’re asking, I think the Speedmaster, Submariner and Pepsi are keepers. Maybe trade in or sell the remaining 4 and get a 40mm YG DayDate with champagne dial.

Keep: Speedy, Sub, Pepsi,
Bye: OP, Airking, DJ, Exp1

If staying with rolex: White daytona and a colorful or light color DJ/OP/DD as budget allows

If branching out: PP calatrava 5227R or silver dial 15400 AP if want to stick with bracelets.

Air king must be go.
If the OP is other special color for sure will keep it , but this color I might let it go as well.

You are missing Daytona.

Excellent collection. Obviously these are the styles you like.
But if you want to add difference: perhaps something on a leather strap or Nato, Blue and/or White Dial.

Specific watches : gold Day-Date, lighter dial Daytona, white Explorer II, blue or platinum dial Yachtmaster

Not enough colour. Very monochrome. Chop in the OP for a coloured dial as green looks almost black in that light. Chop in the explorer for explorer ii polar. Add something in two tone eg bluesey.
Call it a day.

IMO, dump the AK and OP, replace with a gold JLC Reverso (large size).

So little love for the air king, although I would rather have the new ref.

I would replace explorer and OP for sky D

I think watch you are missing in your collection is RoseGold and i think you should let the AirKing go.

I think I would keep the Pepsi, sub and omega. I would get something different to compliment these. Depending on budget, Daytona white dial, dj 41 blue dial, a royal oak with a bracelet would make a nice addition. Patek aquanaut or nautilus would be amazing too. Good luck in your search!

Get rid of the OP.

Maybe replace the sub with Starbucks or the cookie monster. You need a bit more color, or better photo haha.

Where's the Daytona?

Keep the Pepsi for sure.
Keep the moonwatch

Maybe add a white dial?

If consolidating, I'd take the AK, Exp and DJ and turn those three into one. Possibly a PM Rolex or something from another brand like JLC, IWC, ALS, Patek or AP.

Nice collection. I'd be tempted to let op & ak go given you have similar options in the Exp/DJ.

I'd then add something for a bit of variety, either a white dial like the polar, or something PM/TT.

You need a GMT and a two-tone - guess that means the Rootbeer!

Keep them all that have reason to exist.
Buy a dress watch: Cellini, 1908, Reverso or others but in gold.

It’s completely subjective without knowing what you like/dislike. If you like them all, keep them all.

If it were me, I’d sell the AK, OP, and DJ and use the funds towards a DD.
