Should I get 2-tone DateJust next?

To spice things up, I'm thinking of adding a two-tone watch to my collection. Here's what I currently have.

Rolex Daytona 116520
JLC Grande Reverso 976
Omega Planet Ocean 8500 42mm
Omega Aqua Terra 8500 38.5mm Skyfall

Now, is getting a DateJust the best next move? What would you ladies and gentlemen recommend?

Here's a pic of my collection along with my wife's lady Datejust. I made it look bigger by placing it closer to the camera. :)



Thanks in advance!

Sure, a DJ or DJ2 would be fine. So would a sub/GMT...really, it's whatever you want.

A nice 116334 would do the job.



With regards, Roel

I would go Sub/Gmt as the AT covers the DJ ground, esp in lovely skyfall blue.

I would get a 36mm with the same dial configuration the wife has.

IMO, that is THE best looking TT made by any brand.

I'm sure the Mrs would love it if you guys had his/her watches too.

This. Matching watches is a wonderful suggestion.

A GMT would be a great idea as I don't have one yet! Make that a TT GMT 116713 and I'd cover 3 bases: GMT, TT and the presence of the color green in my collection.

Right. A DJ would compete with the AT and the Reverso in my dress watch selection. Three is going to be a crowd in a small collection of 5.

Yes, pairing would be great but I'm having second thoughts of getting another white dial. And I agree, that DJ TT with white dial is a looker!

Mmmm... I'll check the YM in my next visit to the AD.

Silver? Oh yeah, a TT DJ with silver steel dial is actually one of my top contenders.

So far, I think getting a TT GMT is the one that makes perfect sense.

Many thanks and keep the suggestions coming!
