Hi all! I’m looking to purchase a watch for my husband’s 35th birthday and thought this would be a good place to get advice. Based on his current collection, what should I go with next? Thanks in advance!

Heff · 8 July 2020, 09:42 AM

Definitely needs a Rolex! What is your budget?

I am a little biased but the Ref. 116660. The ultimate Rolex watch.

RaZCaL · 8 July 2020, 09:45 AM

SubC Date or Datejust 41

ScarletFire · 8 July 2020, 09:50 AM

I think the collection would benefit from a blue dial Datejust 41mm, I think you would be hard pressed to find a watch collector who wouldn't appreciate one.

TJDJ41 · 8 July 2020, 09:53 AM

Datejust 41, blue dial, Jubilee bracelet. Smooth or fluted bezel.

turboevo2 · 8 July 2020, 09:53 AM

Rolex sub or gmt

Xenon · 8 July 2020, 09:54 AM

He needs a silver dial steel Datejust or silver dial steel Oyster perpetual

Datejust comes in 36mm or 41mm $6k-$8k price range,.

Oyster Perpetual comes in 36mm or 39mm $5k-7k price range.

+1 or Rolex sub

eman1200 · 8 July 2020, 09:56 AM

definitely this one

JRell · 8 July 2020, 09:56 AM

For the only Rolex - has to be a datejust or submariner

Nixshah · 8 July 2020, 10:02 AM

Get him the submariner, perfect go anywhere, do anything watch.

whited3 · 8 July 2020, 10:02 AM

I would go sports model: sea dweller (any), Daytona, explorer ii polar, GMT.

Sub is just too normal for me. In any case I suspect this all is a total shot in the dark regardless of his current collection.

His collection is different, do him justice and do not be crowd carrying Rolex owner.

Budget pending

) Rolex Explorer 214270

or

) Tudor GMT “Pepsi”

Etschell · 8 July 2020, 10:18 AM

Without knowing the budget i cant make a suggestion.

Ny325 · 8 July 2020, 10:21 AM

I would go with something simple, and classic. I personally would buy a 36mm DateJust, White or silver dial on a Oyster, and smooth bezel. Very versatile watch.

Benzsiam · 8 July 2020, 10:22 AM

I think Batman would good for him.

HobokenRolex · 8 July 2020, 10:22 AM

Depends on what you want to spend, but I’d suggest a Speedmaster, Explorer II, or maybe a Cartier Santos. Or a Seiko turtle if you’re looking for something inexpensive.

Here you go. Sorry for the blurry lume.

JennW2009 · 8 July 2020, 10:31 AM

Wow! Thanks so much for the quick responses! I think I would like to keep it under $7-8k. I have noticed him eyeing submariners and think he would like a Datejust, but it would need to or large as he bought me a 36mm for Christmas (see pic). He isn’t really a two-tone kind of guy so I don’t think his and hers will work here. I LOVE the blue dial datejust and think the silver or white would be nice too.

He has that one; didn’t think to include it in the pic!

JRell · 8 July 2020, 10:49 AM

Ignore the too many sub comments. There is a reason why they are so popular! Sub or datejust 41 these are my 2.

An idea

blue lion · 8 July 2020, 10:51 AM

Something with some color maybe?

Chewbacca · 8 July 2020, 10:52 AM

Tudor Heritage Chrono or even a cool Seiko.

(Based on the pic, if he wanted a Rolex, he’d have one by now. Definitely able to afford one.)
