What does my collection need?

Here is what I have:

Rolex:
GMT 16700 Pepsi N
Sea-Dweller 16600 M
Submariner 16610LV M
Explorer II 216570

Tudor:
Black Bay

Bremont:
ALT1-Z
MBII Orange Barrel
Terra Nova (coming soon)

Bear in mind, I do not like gold and I am not wealthy anything over 10k is just too much.

hi mike, nice collection...

why do you feel you "need" anything else? at this point in your stable, you're golden. if you want more, just buy what you like or what sings to you. unless you're looking for the one chrono, one dress, one gold, one platinum, one diver, one digital... etc type of collection, then the answer is easy. what don't you have. and go from there.

btw, love bremont.

I don't necessarily feel like I need anything. I'm just curious what people would suggest. It's always interesting to me to to see what other people feel would round out a collection. I am very happy with my purchases but I am regretting that I sold my no date non-COSC Sub so I might get another.

I think an SS Daytona would finish it and then I think I would be done with Rolex unless they came out would a brand new sports model that was amazing.

Some type of dress watch. Maybe a vintage Omega, IWC, or Hamilton.

I would say it needs a few things...

Diversity, creativity on your part, pictures, or just buy what you like instead of what we tell you to...or else is it really your collection?
Which begs the question, what is the point in buying the watches to begin with?

OP, lovely collection. Really nice classic choices there.

I'd opt for JLC dress watch. Perhaps the Ultra Thin series. I have the Moon 39 and it's all the dress watch I need.

If Rolex, a Daytona seems to be what's missing.

If you feel that you need another then I would suggest a GMT TTc.

That's a very nice collection you have. I would say maybe add a datejust or a Daytona
