Wish one should I start saving for.

I prefer the SS models and two tone under the 15 k range.
These are on my wish list......SD43, Daytona Ceramic White and Blue Dial Sky Dweller.

Any other suggestions to add variety?

Maybe something dressier, Lange Saxonia, some really great watches in the 15 k range to consider... could also go the AP route for a little change of pace

Blue dial would fit in nicely. Very nice collection! Go SD Blue or the LB SUb

If you're looking to add variety, look at some of the Tudor offerings.

He doesn't have a full black watch, so I think the SD43 would be a great addition or ND SubC. A chrono would be good, but hard to source a Daytona below $15k unless it's TT, which I tend to shy away from.

Great collection!!

I think you need a white dial watch, maybe a Explorer 2 (White dial), or Sky-D (White) or Datejust Fluted White dial or the ultimate Daytona-C (White)

(I'm in the same boat, I need to add a white dial watch to round out my collection)

A chronograph would really add something to your collection. Go with the white dial Daytona.

Nice collection you have there. White dial? Expll or DJ41?

I'm biased towards the SD43. But removing that bias and looking at what you have, I'd say the white dial Daytona. But only a hair ahead of the SkyD, and mostly because I think you should add a lighter dial. The blue SkyD is stunning, finally saw one in the flesh.

I know you're saving but the Daytona and SkyD are impossible to get, at an AD/MSRP. So if we're talking buying a watch vs. sitting on a 10 year wait list the SD43 will be easier (but not easy) to get.

Yes, Lange Saxonia, 1815 or L1. For Rolex the SkyD.

I’d say the white dial Daytona. That would be a nice contrast to what you have (great collection btw)

Nice collection. I'd personally add the Blue dialed Sky-Dweller. Happy hunting

From what I am seeing in this collection, you seem to be attracted to "hot models". (insert a joke here)
I suggest going against the grain a bit. Get one people haven't wrote a "does everyone in NY wear a _________" thread about yet
Also with the note of a lack of YG in your collection I have determined: TT Sky Dweller is where we should be looking next. Agreeing that there is a lot of dark in your collection, a TT White Dial Sky Dweller could be in cards.

DJ or DJ41, so many options, dial, bezels and bracelets. A great versatile watch, surprised no one has suggested it

Great collection. For me it would be the SD43, but to each his/her own.
