Recommendations for next purchase . . . .

I have:
- TT GMTIIc
- Stainless and white gold DJII with diamond dial
- Daytona TT with white face

I basically wear the GMTII for casual and switch the DJII and Daytona for business (wear suits).

Looking at purchasing another watch . . . . not two tone.

Stainless possible - like the green sub.

PM possible, like the white gold and blue Sub.

More than one purchase also possible - so if I go PM, then one but if I get the green sub, might also get a stainless grand seiko . . . . stealth, high quality at very good price and love the display back.

Looked at AP, like the white face RO.

Also like the new rose gold and rubber (forgive me) Explorer but not sure it fits in with what I have.

Like the Lange 1 as well but me and leather straps are no go - acidic sweat eats through leather and makes it smell funny pretty quick.

Any other suggestions?

the WG sub would add a sub, add PM, and add a stunning versatile watch!

Two thoughts if you like Rolex GMT, 16760 fat lady complete or a 16710 3185. If you are trying to get a non-rolex Richard Mille Baby Bubba

My vote would be for the sub...but I would pick the YG. If it has to be white gold, the BLRO looks better than the smurf IMO.

From a balance point of view maybe sell the DJ and go a PM DD40...... either WG or YG.

what a fantastic dilemma to have my friend
good luck with your choices. My vote is for PP or a Rose Gold YM2 or Rose gold Daytona
