My New Trio - do you have a favorite?

I have been doing some buying, selling and consolidating. Here is my current trio.

Which one is your favorite?

What would you add if anything?

Happy Friday!

Nice collection! I think you cover all bases pretty well. If it was my collection, and I was wanting to add, I would consider the following:

JLC reverso or a Royal Oak (15450st personally, I have small wrists). But that’s just me.


Oh and my favourite... has to be the no date sub. Deserves its place in any collection.

We have a similar trio. If I had to choose a favorite of your three I would choose the 114060 ND SUB.

The sub is my favorite but you have a good collection. I'll go out on a limb and guess you'll add to it; which I encourage. Cheers.

That trio is damn near perfect. If you were to add, add functionality such as GMT. And Explorer II Polar dial would look great with this crew.

Wow. That’s quite a trio. You have the same exact taste as I.

Only difference is that I would do fluted bezel on the DJ.

I have the 114060. My favorite.

Next on my list is a blue dial DJ.

After that, I want a Speedmaster (sapphire sandwich).

Its a classy and sober trio.

I would add a piece for daily wear. Not very expensive, quartz, easy to wear.

Fantastic trio! Most all of your bases are covered. You could add a dress watch if you are so inclined. JLC is always a smart play. Otherwise, that's a fantastic trio.

Of the three I like the Date-Just the best. After getting my Pepsi I've really come to love the jubilee bracelet. Enjoy it!

That's a nice trio. The 114060 is head and shoulders above the rest.

I also have a SubC and a DJ41 as many others have I'm sure. That's a nice trio to be content with but of course there's always room for another. If not a Gmtll 5 or 6 digit how about a fun piece like a Zblue or even an Air King...There are so many and not just Rolex. Example > Slightly used Omega Railmaster @ 3k+..or used Seiko Alpinist green @ 400. Just saying there are a lot of nice alternatives out there to think about. Happy Hunting if you do...

The Submariner is my favourite, I’d look at adding a GMT.

No surprise that the Sub is the overwhelming favorite on the forum.

Personally the DJ41 is my latest acquisition so it’s getting slightly more wrist time than the others. Love them all.

Agree 100% my friend , the 114060 , a Sub (of course no date the original) should part of any serious collection, either 2 watches or 10 watches.

Similar tastes here as well, I also prefer the fluted bezel and am also looking for a blue dial next. I am patiently waiting on the BLNR myself.
