What might be your next move if...
I purchased a New Daytona and PAM 390 last year, but this year has been an all-Sub year -- 14060M, 16800 and 5513. I cannot see myself parting with any of them.
While I plan to slow down A LOT and will try my darndest to enjoy what I have and only purchase every 1-2 years going forward, I would like to set my eye on my next target. Clearly, a GMT is missing (but I don't travel much), or I could keep the Sub trend, or the vintage trend. I'd like to hear your thoughts... my thougts include a Red Sub, 1655, GMT IIC, 1675, PAM 233 (which I had before), or a different brand altogether. Cheers and HAGWE! |

I'd go with your thoughts and preferences. Which one do YOU desire next?

I like a collection to make sense, I collect aviation watches with a history. AirKings, GMT Masters, IWC etc. you could go with one vintage example of the sport models. Three random Submariners don't make sense unless you plan on filling in a lot of gaps. If I were you I'd dump the Panerai and two of the Subs, one being the 14060m. Then get a 1675, 1655, then maybe a 1016.

I like a collection to defy logic. Once you have the bug, and, given you bought three subs in a year, you appear to be showing symptoms, your collection will shift and change until you find the theme that defines it for you. To others, you may appear crazy.
I like 'design classics', but they are hard to define and interpretations have to be realistic financially and in terms of availability. So, I look at my 14060M as a future classic, since it was the last of the steel bezel subs (no date). Others may look at this pic and think 'design duffers'. |

1655 or 1675
I too would like a representation of its model. One Sub, One GMT, One Daytona, One Explorer and maybe One Panerai. I will go vintage on all as they tend to keep their value. I will go with quality rather than quantity. |

My brain agrees with most comments about having a functionally diverse collection but my heart says get a Red Sub, then 16610LV, then SD, and so on. I just simply find the Subs the pefect watch

I'm an elemental spirit so I'm going with air, land, sea. I have 2 of those three so my next will 1016 or 1655. Not in any order and certainly in no rush.

Personal taste really, 1655 is very unique if You like something different.

Vintage! 1680 Red or a 1675, but I'm biased of course. Maybe a 1655 or a 1665?

Do you collect any WII aviation watches? I had a few on hold that were German pilot and RAF pilot watches. Then I changed my mind as I didn't really have a theme to my collection - it was becoming too impulsive. |
