I still have 4 empty slots, what should I add that would compliment the current collection well?

My least favorite is the Rolex oysterquartz, I only keep it because it was my grandfathers.

A sports Patek for sure. I see a 5980/1R or 5711/1R fitting well in that box. A full RG bracelet as you dont have any of that in the collection.

I’m on the list for one, but could be 4+ years out.

Nice collection So many choices with regards to what you can buy next. A few pieces from Panerai, Rolex, Omega, and possibly another brand could easily fill those four slots and add even more variety.

How about a JLC? Or a Day-Date for a splash of color?

Great collection! Maybe some color? Sub LB or LV, GMT BLRO. Something fun and sporty would fit it nicely.

I want to stay away from Rolex, too mass produced for me. I’m thinking about a blue face Ulysse Nardin Marine Chronometer with blue strap

Fair enough, but all of your watches are from major well-know luxury brands.... how about going with a true boutique manufacturer? So many amazing independants beyond Patek, AP, VC, Cartier, Blancpain and UN.

I could name 101 brands, 99 of which you’ve probably never heard of, but to what avail?
We don’t know what the individual or total budget is.
Your wrist shape and size will dictate which ones are non-starters.
Are you only interested in new current models, or does something discontinued and therefore only likely to be acquired pre-owned stand a chance?
Do you feel there’s something missing – complication, shape, material?

Per piece or in total?
Answering the other questions would be useful for everyone, so they can offer tailored suggestions rather than anything and everything.

Looking good! Something green or with color might fill a slot nicely.
