What would you do next with my collection?
I just picked up an Omega Aqua Tera Summer Blue. I love it so much. Totally different than anything I have. If you had my collection what would be on your radar next? Think variation here. Rolex or non Rolex suggestions.

Daydate would be my vote.

I would sell everything except one sports watch and buy a solid independent.

I have a Bel Canto on order. That might fit into your collection, especially on the titanium bracelet.
Or maybe it's time, and if able, a royal oak or nautilus. Sent from my SM-S918U1 using Tapatalk |

A gold sub wouldn’t look out of place in the collection

Thanks for the suggestions. Really solid options. I like the Explore II. Probably would get a steal Daytona over a speedmaster. Would have to try on a Cartier. Never been a huge fan but never tried one on so it’s not quite fair to judge yet. Either tudors are top contenders. Thanks again :) |

Thanks for the suggestions. The Bel Canto is certainly unique but not my style right off the bat. But as always would need to try it on. I’ve been swayed after trying on a watch before. Yeah a nautilus is the top three of my next big watch purchases. There’s a few IWC I have been eyeing and one or two JLCs as well. |

DD if Rolex
VC Overseas would be my choice JLC Reverso if you like them. Would probably get rid of the Fossil and Tag unless they are sentimental (I try not to get sentimental over items personally) |

I’d get a diver. Something like a seaQ or fifty fathoms.

What would you do next with my collection?
If it were me, I’d pick my favourite Rolex and move it to top right, clearing the bottom row to continue developing the collection. I’d perhaps then look to add an AP or Patek on the basis that I’m currently working my collection to be 1 watch from each brand.
You do you tho! On that front what are you considering? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I don’t see a Datejust. That collection needs a two tone Wimbledon!

Congratulations on the AT, a superb watch. I think a diver would slide into your collection very nicely. I like the Sub Date but the choice is wide. IMO if you have a Sky Dweller you don't need a DJ unless you want to have something below 40mm, but each to our own.

Next on my list would be an integrated bracelet sportswatch. AP, PP, GP or even Zenith.
But lets be honest, I'm not really sure you need anything else. |

They are all roughly the same size and shape. It is a good collection in terms of features ie. GMT, Chronograph. My suggestion would be to try something completely different like a Cartier Santos or a Rado Diastar. Something to break the monotony.

Congrats on the Omega AT - fantastic watch.
Re: the collection, I'd add a DayDate, and a classic no-date Sub. This would, however, require you to buy a larger watch box! ;-) |

My collection became fun when I added an odd ball piece. In my case, it was a Hublot classic fusion. That thing was cheap, looks great (IMHO) I can never sell it cause resale sucks and wears like a dream.
I’m not saying buy a Hublot, but I am 100% saying get something very random into your collection.

What would you do next with my collection?
With that collection, you could add almost anything and it would fit in. Maybe the mint green dial Breitling Navitimer on a brown leather strap???? That would be a nice contrast with the Omega.

Looks like all-round cases, if i may humbly suggest.... find a timepiece you love that has a different case shape / style :)
