It's getting harder and harder for me to decide on my next watch...

It is going to be awhile away (maybe more depending on price), but I'm finding it harder and harder to focus on "the" next watch for me. I don't know what it is, but I just can't focus on just one. I'm all over the place in terms of type, brand and price. I think I'm starting to know too much and it is almost hindering me. Maybe adding to the problem is that I don't want to flip my watches so I want to be sure?

Am I just in a phase or doomed to never decide until the last sec?

SOTC 5/26
Rolex 16610
Seiko SKX007j
RWC 1938a
Rolex 116710
PAM00111g

Considering (aka can't freaking decide)
Rolex 5513 - vintage sub ND - already have two black faced / bezeled watches, but damn that dome!
Rolex 16710 - I got a GMT, but a coke bezel looks NICE
Rolex 116334 - DJ II (blingy and different, thinking white)
Rolex 116520 - Daytona (and I don't even care for chrono's, but that dial)
Blancpain FF on bracelet - (love it but maintenance will be $$)
PAM00210 - can be dressed up and down easily
PAM00190 - 8 day JLC goodness and $$$$
PAM00000 - 111 is similar...
PAM00270 - $$$$ and thick for me, but still soooo nice to look at
GO Sport Evo - big date - yet another black face/bezel
Bell & Ross 03-92 - like nothing else I have (square) and cheaper

There is more, but these are the toppers.

Yeah, I've thought of that too, so if I do get in trouble, should be an easier sell then lets say the BP fifty. I can get one at MSRP, no tax. This would mean I have to wait longer too as it is nearly 10k.

Baby is going well. Nursury is done and so far we've only spent a small fortune.

Car seat/cradle, stroller for car seat/cradle, pack and play, all the bed stuff and bed, glider chair and ottoman for mom, some clothes. More to come I'm sure.

That's me! One week I'm SET on the Fifty Fathoms.
Next week, that 5513 is calling bad!
Next week, man, I really nead a Rad, so that 210 would be perfect.

Oh yeah, I forgot to put a blue Tudor Snowflake on that list!

Humm,.....going by your first list and your current collection, the 5513 would be my first choice.

Such a classic timepiece that defines Rolex divers. You also mentioned the tudor blue snowflake...Man ,I have had Dan Pierce's on my wrist and it is just drop dead beautifull!!!!

One of those two would be my pick.

That dome is intoxicating on the 5512/5513.
