Choosing my third Rolex

Hi everyone,

Am potentially looking at getting a third Rolex and want to see what else everyone is doing with their collection and what they have kept or flipped to make their collection work.

Currently I have the DSSD and the SD4000:



The collection at the moment is as follows:

- Rolex DSSD



- Rolex SD4000



- Breitling Navitimer 125e



- Breitling Airwolf:



- Omega Speedmaster 50th



- Omega PO9300



- Zenith Stratos Striking 10th



I also have several G-Shocks for daily wear and for discretion purposes.

It would make sense to add another Zenith to the collection but am holding out for the Tag Heuer Monaco 24 calibre 36, as this uses the same movement but in a square case. However this is still quite a costly watch and I have a feeling in a years time LV might decide to use the movement in a better design.

Am dismissing the Daytona S/Steel as they're difficult to get hold of new and am not prepared to pay a premium. The size doesn't appeal to me either and am hoping in 5-10 years Rolex will update the design again as they did a couple of years ago.

The BLNR GMT appeals to me due to the colours of the bezel and the rarety of the model, but the cyclops puts me off, and the pcl's would take a beating as they have done on the Zenith.

The Hulk uses a shade of green that I'm not a fan of. The brighter shade of green on the bezel of the older LV was much better IMO.

My mind is set on the Submariner Non Date, as the symmetry of the dial and lack of cyclops appeals to me. The bracelet is the same as the SD4000 unless someone can correct me, which is a great feature to have as you can adjust the watch whoever you want. Although not very easy to find, I can have a brand new one on my wrist by Tuesday/Wednesday with an extra years warranty and a free service when required.

Does anyone have three ceramics in their collection? Would they feel a bit 'samey' with small differences or do they work well in rotation together? A DSSD, SD4000 and SubC ND?
