I'd agree a Skydweller or DDII would be an awesome fit, but Tom has said before he prefers the sports watches.

Thanks Gus, First I shrunk from 13 to 5 (AP15300,PP5146g,FPJourne, Chronometre Bleu, Rolex Hulk). Then I got rid off all except the Hulk and got my 5712R and 5205R-010. I really believe that 3-4 is the sweet spot, but then again everybody is different and nobody can convince you otherwise. Believe me I got a lot of comments on that direction when I had my 13 watches, and just the idea of selling them was absurd to me. You have to reach that decision on your own. I can see your collection going to 4 pieces and not 5 though
All that said, I think you have a sweet collection , my favorites from your collection are the Jumbo and Aquanaut, and of course everybody needs a Rolex

I'm a subscriber...although a fourth (not pictured) is a vintage sixties Omega Geneve heirloom piece that gets very little use.

L to R: a 40th birthday gift 8 years ago, Cartier Roadster stainless steel with bracelet and (not shown) two deployants with four straps; Patek Philippe 5167 Aquanaut stainless steel on rubber; Patek Philippe 5296G-010 white gold on matte chestnut brown strap (glossy black strap not shown). I'm very happy with it as it stands, but although I favor Patek I really also love Rolex. I suspect many others feel the same way. I may add a Sub 114060 or DJ2 116334 sometime before the year's end. Odd feeling...with or without the Rolex addition, this will be "it" for a long time. Then what will I talk about? :)

Nice collection mate, yeah at some point you should add a Sub. I have my 3 and feel very contempt but I can see adding an AP in the near future and be done for a long time. And there is always something to talk about, that's the beauty of this Hobby.
Cheers !!
