Great principle to follow for sure. Agree that the SkyD is somewhat top heavy wearing somewhat large and bold, but I'm coming from Panerai so it's very familiar familiar to me =) . You definitely have most the bases covered with your current line-up, PM is inevitably next! Best, Tom

Thanks!!!

Unfort not a fan of the "square" Sub and green doesn't do anything for me

I passed on the SkyD blue because it was too BIG and top heavy for me

Why not another Rolex? LOL!!

I do get bored with the same brand. That is why the other half of my collection is non-Rolex!

I have a Panerai too. It just sits much flatter than the SkyD. Regardless, the SkyD is not the only annual calendar out there and it does look oddly asymmetrically if you stare at it too long. Not sure what the attraction-hype is. Nice watch but just so-so to me

thanks and yes, i am looking into PM... but that is next level step. not sure if i'm ready!

Awesome collection but you need a classic black sub date & possibly the Hulk too to add some green!

Another vote for an Explorer II. Fantastic watches and a different look than everything you have.
