New collector; advice on next Rolex

I am newish collector and have following models:

Ceramic GMT;

Green/green ceramic bezel/ dial sub (116610lv) times two (one was a gift);

1979 gold bark president w blue dial;

2008 TT blue sub (16613).

I would be willing to trade in one of the greens or something else (though I find myself wearing those more than any others, even with a suit).

Just curious about the thoughts/opinions of you guys who have many more years of living with rolexes. Of course ultimate I have to find what I like, but input from experts with years of experience is always valuable (for example I like the two tone but find most often I either wear all stainless or the ll gold, rather than the mix. I didn't anticipate that when I bought the TT . . .)

Thanks!

You'll find many opinions.

My best advice is to buy/collect/wear what sings to you.

Easy..................I would trade one of the 116610lv's for a SS sub (either 16610 or 116610), that way you'll have a blue dial, green dial and black dial watches

I say the Milgauss or maybe even a DJ2

If you must have sport, I think a good old Yachty might do the trick.

I agree with the above, a Daytona will fit in your collection nicely.
