Bought 3 watches in 2015, what's next? Enablers please share your wrist shots!

[Vaxe]

2015 has been great. Turned 26, incorporated my second business, paid off all debt.

Rewarded myself with these humble pieces - Daytona, the Reverso in Feb, and the Radiomir in March.
Will be at Vegas for NAB next week, looking to add another to the mix.

I prefer it to be from a brand I don't currently own. Looking for a classic, iconic and timeless design. Though I will eventually add a Patek, Lange, and AP, the budget for this purchase is $10K.

What would be your pick?

[Seaswirl]

Pre-owned APRO or VC Overseas might be a hair over $10k, but haven't looked in a while. Also, I'm a bigfan of Glashutte Original such as the XL Senator chrono or observer.

[AK797]

Maybe trade one for some gold?

[scarlet knight]

IWC Portuguese or Pilot; Omega Speedmaster; Tudor Black Bay?

That is just such a fantastic collection, I applaud your taste. For me, if I had your budget and collection I'd be looking at an IWC pilots or Portuguese or a Glashutte Orginial PanoReserve (in blue) or a Grand Seiko Hi-Beat GMT.

[Tokyo Time]

Gold

[nick c]

Panerai 372 maybe

[rolexnub]

I would say PM watch.

Those are all great. There is an Offshore in my future (need a fun watch ), Glashutte is also something I've been looking at, but likely after my 1st Lange.

These are all keepers, and though I want a RG reference , I'm focusing my collection more on silhouette than material for the time being.

I know I should probably add a Speedy soon, so maybe. Both IWC are cool - which particular ref do you recommend? The BB is a bit too close to my 14060, but the aged strap is awesome - maybe when they refresh with in-house like the Pelagos.

Thanks, looks like we share the same taste!
The blue PanoReserve is on the top of the list. I really want a blue dial, and the Nautilus 5711 needs to wait, so this is something I've been really eyeing. German as well, so I can gaze at the quarter plate and silver before I splurge on a 1815 or a big date Lange.
The green GS GMT is also another piece in contention.

You may want to consider getting a Breguet marine. You can dress it up or down depending on your mood. Since you only have the reverso as your dress watch, the marine may serve you well when the occasion calls for suit and tie. It also looks good with jeans and t-shirts.

[ELITEVIDEOGAMES]

Push for the royal oak, you canuse another watch with a bracelet.
The pano blue is gorgeous too.
If you are looking for something out of the ordinary consider maybe a Ulysee Nardin Marine.
Nice collection !

That's hot.

[red1108nyc]

How about a GMT in a classic 16710 Pepsi? You would also have a few $K left over from your 10K budget for the black jack table or buy an additional omega speedmaster pro!

[kilyung]

Iwc Pilot watch or a Tag Monaco?

[Exhausted]

Wow 2015 has been great for you. Congratulations...I have a feeling you won't go wrong with any choice.

Now that is a thought.

I am fairly certain my friend Neil here has a couple of other fine pieces he can post for your enabling pleasure in the event you are not too sure about gold.

[Brian Page]

Fifty Fathoms - perfect and fits your budget!

Like the Zenith!

[njbeizai]

Outside of the holy trinity and lange, all I can think of is omega, IWC, cartier, and hublot.

Omega speedmaster
Hublot classic fusion skeleton ultra thin
IWC big pilot something
Cartier tank

[zama]

My thoughts Blancpain 50 fathoms, IWC Pilot, JLC, or glasshute. Since you like Blue just like to throw the bait out for the future........

[Cru Jones]

Beautiful set and congrats on a good year!

If you can stretch the budget a little, how about a blue 15300?

[AS1]

AP Royal Oak. A classic.

[Hairdude1]

Either of these interest you???

[AF_Rob]

Just remember, this thing is a marathon and not a sprint. I see you are 26. 26 is about the time I got hot and heavy into watches. I'm now in my 30's and my taste has changed drastically since then.

I will say you do have a good plan. You cannot go wrong with simple timeless designs. Which tells me you are already thinking ahead.

Honestly, with what you already have, I may save up to get a PM piece like a Smurf. You seem to have the means to get yourself a VERY nice piece... That's what I would do.
Good luck on your next purchase!

NAB huh? Are you in entertainment? I'm a director of photography myself, been to many NABs but this year I'm on a TV show full time so no time to play.

As far as watches though I think you need a pilots watch, My recommendations are either a IWC Big Pilot (5002 if you can find one) or the BLNR, mine is the darling of my collection at the moment but I'm expecting a SubC no date next week which will be my beater, everyday watch similar to the 14060M I see in your stash.

I checked out the JLC ultra thin in Beverly Hills today, and I have to say i'm really liking the rose gold moonphase, just not sure if I'd go black or white.

That new black dial is stunning. I can't wait to see it in person, it may give my wallet trouble!

OP, you have some good brand and function diversity. I'd just go try on a bunch of different brands and models and see what pops out at you. If nothing currently does, just sit back and wait - something eventually will.

[regnant]

I would pick the Zenith
Arnold and Son also makes decent watches but they don't have reputation as other brands
