Hi All! The itch for a new piece is back and can’t quite decide where to go. Currently have a 16710 Pepsi, 3572.50 Speedy and IWC 40mm Portuguese on leather. $15kish to play with.

I was initially thinking a No Time To Die but afraid it will just be second fiddle to the 16710. Dark side of the moon gives a cool black case and strap look but outdated and not a great value? Datejusts are great but I don’t have to be dressy often. Day date white gold is the dream.

Let me know any thoughts or suggestions.

Thanks!

Don't buy anything and put that money towards the dream.

rmlovett1 · 30 July 2024, 09:57 AM

Given your collection…..I’d personally go DJ. Definitely different than what you have, gives nice variety, and you can wear a DJ with anything

Zach69SS · 30 July 2024, 09:59 AM

A nice DJ41 with nice dial in SS jubilee or oyster, I prefer the jubilee and I wear mine all the time with jeans for a nice lunch or dinner.. they are so classic and versatile in my opinion. Or a Santos maybe even a Zenith.

Can’t go wrong with an Omega that no time to die in titanium is sweet.love the band.

Happy hunting!

I agree, but if the itch is too much to handle, get a stainless DJ, use the remaining to save for the DD

Save for a Patek Philippe Nautilus.

Harry-57 · 30 July 2024, 07:47 PM

Based on the information you provided. the WG DD when funds allow appears to be the logical choice.

$15k gets you really close to a 126613LB, blue dial, two tone Sub.

That collection is crying out for a Submariner.

1William · 30 July 2024, 11:11 PM

A Submariner ND. Classic, clean and balanced dial. An Icon.

MattyL147 · 30 July 2024, 11:34 PM

Don't buy just to buy. It won't last - trust me...been there. Figure out what you want, save, then buy.

Difficult to argue with an icon!

jgottsman11 · 31 July 2024, 12:15 AM

you're like $1000-$2000 off of a mint unpolished 18239. Why not just do that and fulfill your dream?

This! 36mm grey Rolesor (aka steel+fluted} with Jubilee. It really goes with anything! Orherwise a steel Sub or Sub date.

brandrea · 31 July 2024, 12:23 AM

A GMT or a Diver would be where my head goes to

worldofoyster · 31 July 2024, 12:24 AM

ND Sub

Why blow 15k on another Rolex, when you could put it towards something more interesting?

Yeah, definitely get what you like, don’t settle

hutch300 · 31 July 2024, 01:13 PM

I would look into a vintage 1680 or 5513 if you didn't just get a DD.

Joearch · 31 July 2024, 01:25 PM

Skydweller would be a good fit for you.

JSCP · 31 July 2024, 01:34 PM

Save your $$$

DoubleDeac · 31 July 2024, 02:06 PM

He clearly wants to spend his money on a watch. Let him. Jeez…

OP, it looks like you like omega. I think of the watches they offer, the white speedy and the no time to die seamaster are 2 standout pieces. I don’t think the bond seamaster will play second fiddle, just a different watch.

If you want Rolex, I think adding a DJ is an excellent choice. Another realm would be to consider something different from your current collection - say 42mm explorer 2 polar

996marty · 31 July 2024, 03:33 PM

Vintage sub would be my suggestion

Jets_fan44 · 31 July 2024, 08:54 PM

So many directions to go with that budget but my thought is a Sub of some sort.
