What's the next? Trade which one for which?

With my recent purchase, Hulk, my watch box is full. I am starting to think about what should be my next watch, although still honeymoon with Hulk now. I am sort of the person, setting a goal, chasing the goal and achieving the goal. I need to set the next goal to keep my life moving.

I probably will keep all of them and looking for the next watch as every one of them has a story behind. Any suggestions for my next watch?

Just in case, if I have to sale one before my wife allow me to buy a new one, which one I should sale?

Your collection needs a BLNR and yes, trade in that TT Daytona.

I would trade the TT Daytona for a mint SS Pepsi and a couple of Tudors.

Your choice of the "Hulk" seems strange to me -- given your other preferences, it appears the odd one out. I'd have pegged you for a TT Sub with gold PCLs and black dial. It it were my collection, I'd be trading the green Sub for a TT black-gold Sub.

Something Blue would go well. Blnr or TT Bluesy sub or YM Blue dial.

Either a PM piece or BLNR. What about trading TT Daytona and go an all gold one? I think I'd also get rid of either the Exp or EXP II , if you get a BLNR .

This.

In all seriousness, I would add a BLNR and get rid of the Explorer or TT Daytona.

I can't see having two Daytonas and no GMT. The Exp isn't high on my list either. I think a GMT would be a nice addition but I truthfully prefer the older Pepsis or Cokes to the new BLNR. Or even better yet a TT GMT. How did you end up with two Daytonas btw?

I'd get a WG Pepsi or a YG GMT if your the PM sports watch kid of guy. If not I'd get a simple 116710LN or a BLNR.

Love the watch box! What is it and where might I find one?

I'd flip the TT Daytona and get a BLNR or go big and splurge on a WG BLRO.

I would look at the WG GMT and the TT Daytona and Explorer would help fund it.

Another vote for flipping the TT Daytona for a GMT Master, and then trading the Explorer for a white dialed Datejust.

Like the majority, I'd vote to add a BLNR by selling/trading the TT Daytona and maybe even one of the Explorers.

But it's significantly easier to make a decision about someone else's watch box than your own. We all have a story behind each watch purchase and that's what makes these decisions harder than it appears from the outside.

Long story in short. Was not able to find a SS Daytona, brought a Panda TT to fill the desire. Now it became the 1st candidate to trade of mine as most of everyone suggested.

Thanks a lot, I spent quite some time to research on the watch box. It's Hillwood, I brought on the Internet. Please go www.hillwood.co.uk find one you love.

Wow... I wouldn't do anything with that collection besides wearing and enjoying each piece!

At this point, it might make sense to pick up an additional hobby that allows different (far less expensive) goals. ;)

Sell the DDII.

Just kidding ofc, I'd add another full gold, either Subc or GMTc, and sell one Exp and one Daytona.
