Pretty darn fantastic group you have for sure! But you’ve got to add a Sky-Deeller and a SD43.

More than I'd need. Three seems right for me.

Great collection of new SS Rolex. Are you new to collecting or do you have other, possibly vintage models?

Great 5! Same as mine, except for my 14060M over the SD43.

I would consider flipping the SD for a Hulk and adding a blue SkyD or polar ExpII. Add a DD40 if you’re not only into steel. Then modern collection complete

In rolex ss, it is very hard to reach the "done" state. I repeat what others said:

In order, you need to add:

Skydweller blue
Hulk
SD43
Jc dssd
DJ with rhodium dial to get a bit dressier /classic

Go for it man 5 is just one hand.

Maybe some variety for next? Enjoy what you have, in the mean time. That's quite a selection of popular pieces!

I would trade the SD for the 116610LV

Those Daytonas are gorgeous

not a fan of the green shade on the hulk.
SkyD perhaps

I'm not really a DD person

Thanks. I love the 5. However SD4K and BLNR wasn't always popular. SD4K was quite hated when i purchased mine and the BLNR was never in this high demand it is now

I do have Panerai, Tudor, Omega, and Seiko in my collection.

Have my eye on Patek and FP Journe

I know you don't like the watches with a green face and the dial larger than 40mm. So I won't suggest you to add Hulk and Sky-Dweller blue in your collection as above posts.
Great collection of 5 sought-after SS Rolex watches!

More than enough SS sports models on bracelet. I would look at an FP Journe or an A. Lange & Sohne next. Something in PM on leather would be a nice addition.

Nice set but a bit repetitive, I'd sell the BLNR and Black D500 and move up to AP or PP.

Fantastic collection! If i was in your position i would look at getting rid of the black dial daytona and going for a PM Daytona and also possibly adding a PM Sky Dweller/DD40. There is no right or wrong choice really so just buy what makes you happy!
I personally found that when i added some PM pieces to my collection I started to enjoy them much more than the steel pieces.
Enjoy :-)

Thanks!

not a big fan of green dials, especially the shade of green on the hulk - that's why i don't have a hulk. that said i did like the green on the Panerai PAM 911
