What Rolex next?

[spoilsofwar01]

With a budget of £4,500 I got to wondering what watch would others be considering as an addition (I've already looked at the Tudor Black Bay 79220B)

I was thinking OP or Air King however these seem too similar to my Explorer I have the following watches in my current line up,

5513 Submariner 1968
114270 Explorer 2005
W10 Smiths Millitary 1968
Emperor deluxe 1950's

so what would you recommend that I look at? Cheers "H"

I think you'd do well to add a DJ41 but it's slightly out of budget, unless you find a good deal on a smooth bezel oyster bracelet on the grey market. The OP39 is a good recommendation if wanting new, but you lack a date and easy link.

Going outside the Rolex/Tudor arena, I'm thinking Omega Aqua Terra blue dial on blue rubber strap, IWC Portofino automatic chronograph silver dial on brown leather strap, Bremont Alt1-C Polished White, or the Breitling Navitimer 8 Automatic Day Date blue dial on blue strap. I'm thinking something for a casual dress look with a date complication, maybe chrono function to keep it a bit sporty. I'd look into the Bremont for something unique. That white dial is really lovely.

Smiths w10 superb....superb
The last fully made English watch.. a classic

I bought the Air-King as it reminded me of a modern smiths W10 the colouring is proper w10

How about going out of the box and adding a chrono and dare I say it not a Rolex but a classic never the less

a nice brand new Omega man on the moon watch .the proper 42mm one with white on black dial manual wind and plastic glass ..just like the Smiths W10

Its the satisfaction you get when charging the manual wind

This is my W10, its having surgery as we speak, I couldn't live with the major ding or the sloppy MOD relume, this will be sorted out and the rest I will leave as is,
