Omega Seamaster pro blue bond (2003 and the 1st ltd ed model)
Omega Speedmaster (1968, 1976 and 1989)

Now with that in mind...I'm looking at adding color....I think the white dial Daytona is a given, but what to get for the second watch...I do love the blnr, but I already have blue, but no gmts

Thanks for your continued input

With that collection I'd either save up for a YG or WG GMT IIC, or go AP or Patek. BTW, do you really have 3 Speedmasters?

I wouldn't buy two at once. Choosing the second will be easier after you have owned and got used to the first for a little while.

I wouldn't buy two watches at once. I prefer to space purchases out more. Mostly because it's so expensive lol

That said, Id take an SS sky dweller for 20k. One can dream. :)

Based on what you have and a white dial Daytona is in the cards I'd get a 216570. It fits your requirements of a GMT and adding color

Agreed. Wise. I also need time to think it out and plan the next buy. No need to rush something this fun, eh? Enjoy the ride....
