Something in rose or yellow gold. A Patek Complications or Lange would be lovely; if you’re not into dress watches then perhaps a gold Overseas.

I reread your comment about preferring sports models…

How about an AP ROO, any full PM Daytona, or a yacht master or sky dweller on oysterflex?

Looking to add a 7th watch to my 6. What would you add?

Casio G-Shock. You have so many nice pieces you make me very jealous

Edit: I would go with the new VC Historiques 222. You need a PM watch in your collection

Try another GMT: LN, BLNR, CHNR.

Based on your preferences I would say Steel SkyD blue dial.

My personal preference would be for an Explorer 214270 MK2, the perfect SS sport watch imho.

Maybe a JC DSSD since you like sports pieces, it’s different than your two divers, and since you don’t love the bi-color bezel on the GMT’s. Otherwise maybe something full YG? Honestly I really like the VC Overseas suggestion others beat me to. The dial is just mesmerizing and definitely scratches that sports itch but still dresses up well when duty calls.

I’ll bet the dial size isn’t too dissimilar to a sports watch with a bezel - as is the case with the 36mm datejust.

I do think a Grand Seiko is worth considering. The white birch looks really nice. I am not sure about adding a third Daytona, but the full rose gold meteorite dial Daytona looks insane. I'd have to sell one to get another though

If it's not too dressy, the GP Laureato silver dial
If you'd like another chronograph, the Zenith Chronomaster Original
If another Rolex appeals, maybe OP36/41 silver

great collection, but i think everyone needs at least one Omega Moonwatch, pref the one with the 321 movement

Like sport watches and don't have a GMT, so I would recommend a BLNR. Maybe on the Jubilee since most of your other Rolex are on oyster? The Explorer II Polar would also fit in nicely, or you could go with the discontinued black ceramic bezel 116710LN GMT.

Rolex: GMT Master II or Skydweller
Non-Rolex: VC Overseas or ALS. I strongly recommend the Overseas.

Alright thanks for the response everyone. For now I have decided on a VC 4500v, and maybe a Sky-Dweller in the future. Maybe further options may sway me but this makes the most sense to me.

VC Overseas. Blue dial preferably.

Probably my favorite out of my collection.

You didn’t like the BLRO, but what about the BLNR Batman on Oyster? That is solid sporty and adds nicely to your beautiful collection. Even a DJ can be sporty with the smooth bezel and oyster bracelet options. But you have many great options to choose from as recommended by others. Enjoy them all in good health.

I'd have to sell some before I would add. Definitely the Hulk and WG Daytona. Possibly the black Sub and 15500 too. Not interested in any of those.

That would leave you with 116500 white + 5164A, one of the best two sports watch collections I can think of.

Then I'd work towards a RO Perpetual Calendar, a 5740/1G or the 5968A.

Lastly, I'd certainly not add a VC Overseas which a lot of people seem to be suggesting. I didn't like it on my wrist at all when I tried it on years ago when I could have picked it up at a discount new from the AD right then and there.

I appreciate you giving me your fantasy collection but this is mine. I am not intending to sell these and have not made a post asking which to let go.

Considering you dropped two of my favorites and I am not a fan of your suggestions, we definitely don't have similar tastes. I'm still looking into the VC, although trying it in person will be a must

I would not go that far, but I will admit that online it seems a bit boring or plain. However I really hated the 15500 online and it just clicked in person. I have to handle an Overseas in person to see if it works out or not.
