Collection change up Help!!!!

Hello again to all my friends and I want to thank everyone in advance for their continuous support. I need help again with a decision on my current collection and addons within the next few months. I apologize if it's become overkill usually I'm much more confident in my purchases but I seem to have hit a confusion. So I decided to start a poll for advice on what move to make. As some of you already know my current collection consists of A omega speedy 3570.50 moon watch, an Ap 15202 jumbo white dial, A Patek philippe Nautilus 5711 blue dial, A Rolex Gmt black ceramic that part of the poll is to switch to a BLNR and a Rolex Daytona 116520 Black/ White because I have the option trading to a white which I had decided based on all your opinions. But now I need help with what to do to make the collection into a great variety and all end up being keepers. So Here are my current options on what I've came up with and am interested in, keep in mind the 15202 is not going anywhere not the speedy or the Nautilus. The Daytona will have to exist in either white or black and the GMT also either keep the Black or go BLNR:

Option A: Black Milgauss, White Daytona Green Hulk
Option B: White Milgauss, Black Daytona Green Hulk
Option C: Blue Milgauss White Daytona Green Hulk
Option D: trade up for BLNR get black Milgauss white Daytona Green Hulk
Option E: Blue Milgauss Trade up BLNR get black Daytona to have an all black watch and get Hulk

I voted 5, had a few of the ones you consider, BLNR and Hulk, loved it on other people's wrist but when I got mine I never really enjoyed it, thought it would be my sports watch with the PP 5712 as my daily, about the BLNR it looks great on pics but even if I liked it I never loved it, for the Daytona had the 116515 RG ivory dial, same thing as the BLNR, you have 2, IMO great watches, Jumbo and 5711, are you sure you need so many middle priced pieces? Maybe getting only one great piece would be better? Like PP's 5712R, 5726 on strap since you have already a Naut on bracelet, or maybe an Aquanaut? I love the 5167R. Since you have incredibly cool pieces I'm afraid that you will be disappointed getting the pieces you talk about as they are clearly not in the same league as your Jumbo or 5711… If you want my advice don't get so many get one great piece, you won't be surely happier with much more pieces, I know I am much happier with 2 great pieces than when I had 9...

I vote D. Recently bought a black Daytona and ended up switching to White. Black just didn't do it for me. Also, the rumors are true, it is hard to read.

Thanks for the replies everyone. I'm currently stuck I think between option C and E, the toughest part is probably because I think E is the epic collection. But still a part of me thinks I would enjoy a white Daytona more and sees a BLNR as maybe overkill in spending a few thousand upgrading an all black. Also as for the responses on getting one higher end piece such as another Patek, I've thought about that and it does sound like a sensible thing to do. I completely agree with quality over quantity and believes refinement but because I am young I'm not ready to settle and I want to find my own path to refinement. Thank you all and please keep going so I can make my final decision.

I voted D, I thought the with the speedy, maybe you'd want a white chrono.

When you say black milgauss, are you saying the black GV? or the old black model?

Well I can understand that but there are many great brands other than Rolex, and not so high end as AP or PP, for example Blancpain, JLC, or maybe instead of getting so many SS models you could get one precious metal Rolex, for example a RG daytona 116515, or WG sub? Of course if you go precious metal Rolex DON'T buy from AD, my 116515 was bought BNIB for 17.500 euros, retail was 23.400, sold it for 15.500, would still have it if I had paid retail as I would never have been capable to take 10K$ loss on it… If I can give you one advice is that you appreciate a watch when you waited a long time to get it, if you get a few middle watches in a short time, like I did at one point, you will not appreciate them at all, give it a thought as it seems to me you are trying to build up quickly a big Rolex collection, not sure you will appreciate them much like this

Ps; you talk about wanting all watches to be keepers, I don't think one second if you take any of the possibilities proposed, that all these watches will be keepers, not one second...

The better choice. I do not think you need to move until your decision becomes much more clear.

My decision is winding down to dropping the Milgauss altogether. Also I'm leaning towards trading my black Daytona for a white one. Like I said in a previous thread I can do an even trade. Now I'm thinking to buy the hulk because I love the uniqueness of it and I do need a dive watch in my collection. So really at this point my biggest debate is should I trade my Black GMT for a BLNR or keep it to have at least one all black watch well other then the speedy but that doesn't really count.

Also on another note should I forget about the hulk and my gmt. Take my hulk money plus the trade of the gmt and buy a aquanat 5167. Im not sure I'm crazy about it I mean it's gorgeous but I have to try it on and see how it fits but my biggest concern will be. I will probably always opt to wear the nautilus instead. But I guess like everyone is recommending my best bet is to wait and think rather then make a fast move and take a big hit flipping later. But I still do like opinions on what you guys think would be a better move.

like we talked about if you like the Aquanaut get it, you will have a perfect collection of 5 super watches for any kind of occasion, for me much nicer than having 7 or 8 watches half of them being Rolex, you will have the daytona and one day you can add a sub or sd in the lix to have a dive watch, but even without that the 5 pieces are really keepers, about being afraid you won't wear the 5167 but the Nautilus instead I don't think so, both are great watches with big level of comfort so I think the 5167 will have no problem with wrist time, I want the RG one and am sure it will have it's share of wrist time along with my other 2 PP's.
