To add some more diversity to your collection, I'd suggest the Milgauss GV....you have the diver category covered pretty well. The GMTIIc has a different function too, though it still have that diver appearance.

Hello,
With your current collection in mind, I would go vintage, 5513 or GMT 1675 there is something special with the plastic glass...
I have been thinking about TT sub (Black) or GMT TT, but I decided to wait until I´m at least 40 something ;)
Good luck!

well...you can look it a couple ways.

if you want to "complete" your sub collection, i'd get a no date. old school lean and no nonsense.

if you want to "diversify", i'd get a milgauss.

i like the symmetry of no date watches. i voted no date.

GV.

I like the multi tone lume.

But better yet, why not the GV?

GMTII has a very similar look and after wearing your Deepsea, will feel a little small.

Milgauss would be my choice - GV or white dial

It's a tough call between the GV and the GMT. I think the GV will be a nice change, since it can function as a dress watch as well as a sports watch. The GMTII should be the next one for you after that, unless a Daytona comes along :)

Go for the GV, it's bezel is least likely to strike out on it's own!
