Off your list:

6263
5517

And I’d throw in a GMT maybe a 6542, since we’re shooting for the moon

Any 3? DRSD MKII, GMT masterII, and a DAY DATE 40 of some flavor... youd have an iconic vintage, a travel/sport every day, and a dress piece - but I wouldnt have an all
Rolex 3 pc collection, Id swap out the DAY DATE for a Patek perpetual cal. of some variation for dress. The Daytona wouldnt make the cut unless it was the Platona - I might be persuaded to drop the patek for THAT Daytona.

Three watch collection

I’m happy with what I got. I have a DJ41, GMT BLNR and SS Submariner.

I suppose if I upgraded, I’d probably keep the BLNR.

A two tone blue dial Submariner would be nice.

Maybe a solid yellow gold Daytona on OF with Champagne dial and black sub dials.

Having only 3, I stick to basics.

5 digit Sub
5 digit ExII
Modern DJ in 36mm, fluted on jubilee, dial is a bit of a wild card.

I love 3 watch collection ideas. The problems is however, a 3 watch collection, if that’s all you have, imo you need a steel for daily wear. Then it makes sense for 2 PM watches, possibly one WG one YG? Or you could add a vintage watch in there…

DaytonaC
GMT meteorite / Submariner (Kermit)
DD 40 YG
