I just decided Friday after much deliberation to take the plunge and purchase my first Rolex - a GMT IIC. It has yet to arrive but I can already tell that this hobby will be like my obsession for classic cars where one is just not enough particularly with a storied history like Rolex where there have been so many great models. So, it has got me thinking about my second Rolex and some very interesting options are out there.

Once the GMT arrives, my stable will include the GMT, Omega Speedmaster and Tag Link Calibre S.

I would like your thoughts on options I have thought about for my second Rolex --

-- 116610 LV Green Sub
-- Older model GMT with options for Pepsi and/or Coke bezel

The options are interesting to me -- should I go ceramic again or classic? another GMT with great options or a Sub that is extremely unique in regards to color?

What do you think? What are the attributes I should consider for this purchase? Are there any other interesting Rolexes I should consider?

Whichever way works best for you. The more variety the better. Get a bit of This and get a bit of That. Get some old, and get some new. Get a lot of Rolex watches, and sprinkle in some other brands. Just get whatever watches work best for you, thats the best way to go about it.

I always treat the next one as potentialy my last one by the way. This way if it were my last one I would always be buying the one I really want the most at that time. Works for me.

You're already spot on for the next purchase; the 16610LV works with green and black bezel inserts. GMTII - no longer made, works with pepsi, coke, and black bezel inserts.

Happy hunting!
