as I wait for the new pepsi or deep blue to come in...I’m thinking of either getting an explorer I or sub no date.

Explorer I would add another look to the collection.

PS- You're gonna need a bigger watch box too!

Looking at your current collection, I'd probably skip both options and enjoy what you already have. The Pepsi and D-Blue will fill in the gaps nicely.

But, I'm not one to spend money just to spend it while waiting. I'm rather patient.

Seeing that u have a 5digit sub no date already... and I am not a fan of super case subC, I guess exp1 ?

But if that was my collection, I would add a dj2 black baton fluted. It’s sporty and dressy.

But isn't that a sub no date already in the collection? Regardless, I agree that you really don't need either in your collection. If you have money to splurge, why not take a nice long weekend to the Maldives?

The 114060 will fit in nicely IMO.

Explorer.

All I see are watches with some kind of numbered bezel except for the milgaus and it looks lonely.

Impressive SS collection.

Time to mix things up with PM... Daytona to keep it on the sports side, but not with a rotating bezel.

Between the two options, I'd go with the Explorer I.

Impressive collection as it stands!

Not that you're missing anything but a Sub no date is what you need! Or at least what I would get.

I would wait for either one of those two and enjoy the ones you already have without adding.. But if you simply must, 114060

Snag an Air King instead of an Explorer I, so you can keep working on a complete Sports collection. And then snag a Daytona

First, nice collection. Second, expl makes the most sense. I’d go with the sub.

Go for the Explorer. Out of curiosity, which reference of the ND Sub are you considering?

I think you need some variety!

Other brands / chronos / break the Sub-like mold.

I'm going with the crowd and vote Explorer. You have a no date and a lot of dive bezels so it will add some variety. Which do you prefer on the next incoming, DB or SS BLRO?
