With all those Rolex pm watches I would look at an ALS, Patek or AP.
And of those three I would zero on on an ALS but you seem like a sport watch fan so AP.

I love yellow gold Rolex. I would suggest your give Everose a chance, I have a Daytona Everose and it’s favorite and Wasn’t as keen on rose gold as much originally. Or a DD40 green dial is quite beautiful and I tried a week ago at my USA dealer

i love the look of the rose gold daytona with chocolate dial, but whenever i put anything rose gold on it just doesnt click. was that your first rose gold purchase?

You certainly have PM rolexes covered pretty well- I'd go for a PP 5227J Calatrava or something more complicated and dressy from Patek on a leather strap. Not sure what your budget is, but the new 5270J in yellow gold is a beautiful take on the classic perpetual calendar chronograph design.

Alternatively if you were looking at something dressy I'd consider F.P. Journe.

If your willing to spend a bit more these two would round out your collection nicely.

It will cost a pretty penny though but man you would have like the ultimate watch collection or one of the BEST ones on TRF if you could add these two.

they're both in the running! i tried that patek on leather a few days ago i loved it, but yeah its a shit load of money... I also tried a 15500 steel the same day and was very underwhelmed so im waiting for an opportunity to try the rose gold version on bracelet.

Out of your list, I would go YG Sub with black dial. Luxurious and cool, IMO, with the black dial. For me, the YG and sunburst blue combo is a bit much.

I would go with the YG DD 40. Day Date is just a classic watch and looks best in gold, IMHO.

Consider a YG Daytona on leather as a nice change from the Pt one. Great collection, FWIW!!
