Something in PM on strap.
Can't disagree with the 15202 though!

A dress watch could round that off well. Something in Platinum/Gold with a leather strap. A 5227/5196/5146/Vacheron patrimony/Lange 1 or a Reverso.

If you don't need a dress watch a Speedmaster on a leather strap would be a great all rounder.

Well you don't have AP, gold or leather so how about the RG ROC, 39 or 41mm.

I would also go leather strap.

Depending on your budget: reverso, Lange1, or Patek 5205.

That would give you a dress watch, sport watch, and a daily.

I am never, ever, going to be able to afford a Patek 5202. But if I could, this watch would be on my wrist. If it's in your price range, then that's the one to go for (IMO)!

Don't let the lack of 15202 nods sway you from your gut instinct. Remember where you are posting this. Search your feelings........Luke. The 15202 is legendary. It should not be underestimated. Mine says hello

Here is a suggestion. Nothing. You have pretty much all bases covered with those two.

I think I'd agree with those that say a chrono of some sort. The Daytona or AP would be good choices.

How about a ROC? Otherwise I'd go 15202. An AP would be a great addition.

I agree with others, either a thin dress watch on a strap or a chronograph. The AP seems redundant with the Nautilus. Genta design, all steel, time/date function. And between a nautilus and an RO, I'd go nautilus. Daytona is an obvious choice, probably something else besides the SS to add a little variety to your collection. Or you can go for a brand you don't have and do the speedmaster or an el primero. Or you can go the dress watch route on precious metal. While the PP Calatrava is an obvious choice you can diversify your brands and pick up a Reverso on strap, VC patrimony or go German to mix things up a bit with ALS or GO.

I'd go with a PM Daytona on a strap. Bridge the gap between the GMT Master and the Nautilus.

Hard pressed to add to that collection...very nice!

If you like/want/need the chrono function, then I agree with the Daytona votes...however, I think something like a DDII or Sky-Dweller on a strap would work as well.

Or go completely in a different direction and go with an EXPI or Tudor Ranger. Really with those two, you couldn't go wrong.

Do you usually dress a suit? If so, a PP Calatrava would be a great addition.

If you are more on the sport side, a Daytona would be a wise choice.

A JLC Master Control or Reverso.
PP Calatrava would be nice too.

I have a similar collection to you. For me the best 3 will be:

Nautilus - Beater (All-rounder favourite)
Sea-Dweller - Sports/Holiday/Outdoors
Daytona - Casual/Business
