16710 GMT (it's more than $5K for a complete set in good condition though), No Date Ceramic Sub, Blue or Rhodium OP39, Explorers. Try them all on and pick.

You could put a deposit down on a BL and save up next year for the NR.

Go polar Exp II 5 or 6 digit. You have a black dialed Sub so maybe another dial color.
Lots of DJ's in that price range with many dial options too.

Brand new, I'd go for an 39mm OP. Just pick your dial color.

I'm deeply in love with Black Bay burgundy, so my vote goes right there...though I consider Tudor Pelagos maybe a superior watch, it's still second on the list

I would go OP 39 dark rhodium. That is a very good looking piece. 2nd choice is a Tudor BB w the red bezel. That one will leave you with a couple grand towards your next purchase.

Do you like the milgauss? You can pick up a used white face milgauss on here from a trusted seller.

Imho, the OP 39 rhodium is one of the most dazzling Rolexes ever, for the price.

You can get a preowned 216570 explorer 2 for close to 5k. Date function, GMT function, sports case. Pretty good.

OP 39 any color you fancy. Blue, Rhodium or Red Grape (Purple.)

You'll have some money left over as well.
