I'd say you need a dress watch - maybe a vintage prince or a nice Cellini - or even a nice 18k YG President with a black dial.

This is what I was thinking too. A dj TT or a yg DD to round out the collection, you'd fall in love with a DD if you got one

Great looking collection! I love that Omega especially. Since you already have an Explorer II, I think the Sub is a no-brainer for sure.

A great trio. I love the Jaeger (next on my wish list)

I think a Sub or a Sea Dweller would round off the collection nicely

I was thinking the same thing - an aluminum bezel insert would fit better in your collection.

The Jaeger is listed over 10 but thanks to a bit of a discount it came in under the mark.

#4 is going to be a Zenith Chronomaster Open or Striking 10th. (for some flair)

The last one in the five is going to be another Rolex. I know I have asked this before but I am putting off this decision until my last because I still am having a huge problem deciding between the gmt iic or subc.

Looking at what I have so far which would fit the group better?

Any opinions on my set so far? Am I leaving anything out?
Congrats Andrew, you're off to a great start!!! I love the JLC and Rolex you chose, but personally would of went with the 9300 PO instead the smaller circle on the 9300 speedmaster just doesn't look right to me. None the less a great trio

Based upon what I see, get yourself something that is a bit dressy.

A DJII would be in your price range and a great contrast to what I see as a collection of basically the same watch (es).

When I pick out a watch, I must see something entirely different from anything I presently own and wear.

Just MHO.

I agree a Sub (green or black) would be a great fit. Also, how about an AP 15300? Thinking silver or blue dial.

I'm prefer the Sub C for the less busy bezel. I also like the glidelock.

Haha.. You're so called "pathetic" collection is better than mine. I only have 1 Rolex and that's a Milgauss GV. :(

I'd go for something more dressy like a TT DJ or DJ II.
