As you pointed out, you're missing a chronograph.

Go with the Daytona.

beshannon · 8 May 2014, 11:03 PM

No idea.

What do you like?

Metalheart · 9 May 2014, 01:16 AM

It should be a Chronograph in my opinion.

1. Daytona
2. Chronomat
3. Speedmaster
4. Navitimer

Also would go for a different dial color (blue?) and strap.

venom43 · 9 May 2014, 01:18 AM

It looks like you need a chrono in your beautiful collection or a dress watch.

I don't know what your budget is, are you looking to add a gold watch to your collection?

You could go for a gold Daytona on a strap instead of a bracelet. This handles the lack of a chrono and adds dressy in the same watch. A good plus is that it sits low on the wrist, for me at least.

Here's an example of what it looks like in the flesh...sorry it's just some wrist shots, I have. I went a little fancy because I got a thing for Tahitian mother of pearl. But they have many dial combinations in either white gold or yellow gold.

Good luck.

Brandon(phila) · 9 May 2014, 01:25 AM

G Shock...if you need a true beater

PAM - They do make some 40 and 42mm models.

Speedmaster...I never heard of one being too big for anyone's wrist, unless 44mm version...I had one and sold it b/c it was too big. SpeedyPro doesn't seem to wear much bigger than a 40mm Sub. but if you tried on I guess you know.

Daytona = Great Option for your collection

Your budget fits an AP RO....that would be a great addition

Plat YM would work with your collection as well

Good Luck

franzy · 9 May 2014, 03:33 AM

Based on your collection I would say RO or ROO.

You need blue and an AP, so the 202 or 300 would be perfect. And these 39mms wear similarly to a subc or 42mm PO so it will be fine for you.

Otherwise blue YM or DJ2... or even a Nautilus.

Black Daytona. Need a chrono somewhere in there!

sierra11b · 9 May 2014, 05:27 AM

Nice collection with some good color diversity!

3570.50
Daytona
BLNR
116719 BLRO - If you can swing it. Lots of time to save.

The Radiomir is very comfortable. My 190 feels at least as comfy on my wrist as my Sub C or BLNR. Also available in 42mm size.

Psmith · 9 May 2014, 06:53 AM

GMT

Or look to other brands... Panerai, Blancpain, Zenith, etc...

Gary. · 9 May 2014, 07:08 AM

AP RO or PP Nautilus. A little integrated Genta goodness is what's required if you have the budget.

MichaelFlash · 9 May 2014, 07:31 AM

Easy: any AP RO or ROO.

submariner66 · 9 May 2014, 08:56 AM

Rolex, SS? Date Just or a white dialed Daytona

MortgageGuy · 9 May 2014, 09:12 AM

If you are sticking with Rolex I would definitely add a Daytona. If open to other brands I would pick something up from AP.

busytimmy · 9 May 2014, 11:58 AM

Thanks for the suggestions, everyone.

I'm thinking of adding the Black Daytona, the New SD4K or trying the 15202 (hard to find to try on, that one). I'm not sold on the Genta designs and the whole delicate sports watch thing, but I think I should at least check it out based on the overwhelming number of folks who are suggesting AP.

Truth be told, a SS Rolex would to the trick nicely. The point of this thread was to get some other ideas from fellow Rolex lovers.

I've considered the GMTIIc, the Daytona and the 114060. Based on my collection so far, I think the black dial Daytona fits best

Great collection shot and great collection! I will say this once: YMII in SS!

Speedy PRO...

busytimmy · 30 May 2014, 03:08 PM

Got the speedy! The original (well, as close to it as you can get these days) 3570.50

She's already warming up to me. This piece has a charm about it with that hesalite. And now I have a chronograph, a manual winding watch and a watch with a lot of cool history. Chuffed! :)

Congrats on the Speedy! Definitely an iconic piece

GradyPhilpott · 30 May 2014, 03:19 PM

The Speedy Pro would be my choice, as you don't have a chronograph at this time.

The Speedy is such a bargain and the pedigree and tenure in the Omega line are just amazing and irrefutable.
