But what's universal is I dont think they should all be Rolex. Variety is good.

I totally agree.

Same, I'd keep YM's over anything else tbh

As forthe collection, I'd add Smurf or cookie mo ster

What a great collection!

[Cassian739]

I agree with most here, add some variety with other brands :)

For Rolex: I'd suggest adding an BLRO/BLNR on jubilee, and/or Daytona. Totally up to you what Rolex(s) to sell, if any. You have an amazing collection.

[Kingcobb]

I never get the consolidate to one model posts on here.

Some people like particular models. I have 3 subs and a daytona.....in all honesty no other rolex models truly appeal to me. I could maybe add another sub in the future or possibly another daytona far in the future but those are what I like and have always liked. I really don't care for the other rolex models.

If you like your wat he's wear em. Don't sell something you like because someone on a message board thinks you need to diversify.

I've looked at other brands, but most that interest me are too thick( fifty fathoms, speedmaster, smp300), too expensive (PP and such), too odd (royal oak-sorry they just don't speak to me-also see too expensive) or I don't really know if they're worth buying (Heuer Carrera)

I am curious what anyone would add or change about this.

The most obvious answer is add a Pepsi or a Daytona. I think the Pepsi is, minority opinion here -- really not good looking. I also find the Daytona too small at its real size of 38.5mm so none stayed in the collection.

With that said what would one change or add with this setup?

Your tastes are similar to mine! Excellent choices! I'm jealous of your 126655. That watch is so good looking. I have the omega seamster black ceramic with rose gold which I love and is a lot cheaper, but I still feel the urge to get that YM. I have a 36mm platinum day date but its a 118206 which was nicer on the wallet. I've always gone back and forth on the rootbeer but I think it should be in Auburn instead of brown and the the YM 126621 or your 126655 tempt me more.

Rolex that I love that you don't have include: milgauss z blue, James cameron, datejust with jubilee bracelet (I'd personally aim for two tone 41mm Wimbledon - I have a 36mm 11 series which I can't part with due to the hidden clasp and roulette date which I love, but 36mm is a little small).

I agree with you that Daytona's are too small. The Tudor s&g chrono black dial is surprisingly attractive in person. Great value for what you get.

I agree that pepsis are not that attractive. If anything I think the original black 116710 is the way to go. For me I could put that on my super jubilee bracelet.

For "higher horology" I agree PP and AP are overpriced and wouldn't add a lot. I think the blue VC overseas is a more attractive option for the money. Someones suggestion of the GO panomatic lunar could be good but I'd get the bargain steel one with silver dial which in person is the best looking dial color.

I have the 116613lb that I keep on a blue Everest as I don't love the two tone oyster bracelet - I think upgrade to the all gold could be a move that could be worth it.

But I think you might need a vacation watch at this point. Something you can take on trips anywhere. The new breitling b70 orbiter is ugly in photos but really cool in person. My other go to watch I wear all the time is the omega blue side of the moon aventurine. The older speedmaster aventurine is really cool too.

[AF_Rob]

I'd sell the rhodium YM and the Bluesy. The others are great, big fan of the Rootbeer.

[sambb]

bluesy, YM, DD are all you need - add a daytona and a SkyD. Preferably in YG and RG. add a g-shock.

I like this idea.
Would personally suggest a SS Sky-Dweller as this would be the most functional daily, and be appropriate for all occasions.

Let us know what you decide

[Kemer]

Add a Daytona
Ensure to thank me later 😉

[WatchEater666]

Only collecting rolex is like marrying the first girl you slept with.

[Malum]

Keep what you like , get rid of what you don’t (I don’t understand these threads).

[Zach69SS]

I think you have a fine collection. I would add a PP, AP or a Vacheron. Chronograph
Your Rolex is pretty covered.

Cheers,

[APhound]

Trade bluesy, rootbeer and sub for a yellow gold sub.
Add an aquanaut and a royal oak down the road as you can.

Subtract a couple watches ! Keep DD and hulk! Also maybe a Patek /AP change it up > Good luck!

Thanks for your kind words and detailed reply. I thought about grabbbing that same Seamaster but I ultimately felt like it wasn't nice enough to replace the YM. That, and it's also a whopping 43.5mm!

I agree. They are all great watches, and if you like them, that's all that matters.

[BBRAYS]

You have a perfect lineup IMO, you can look into adding other brand.

[interestedinwatches]

Thanks for the input everyone.

[CKLinLA]

Great collection.
You could maybe add an Explorer II white.

Is this a Rolex only collection? If not, I’d add a dress watch on a strap; maybe a PP Calatrava or JLC Ultrathin.

Agree! I like your collection. I did have both the bluesy and the Slate YM in my collection at one point. The bluesy was a 5 digit and my first Rolex, but I’ve learned that I prefer the modern look of the newer versions. The SS YM is beautiful in my opinion, but I just didn’t wear it much. I do have the RG YM and love it!
As others have said consider adding unless one is really not getting much wrist time. I recently added my first Patek and am looking to add another brand or two as nothing in the Rolex catalogue is really appealing to me right now (I will probably pick up an Explorer 36 at some point though).
Good luck!

[Kiddodoc]

Great collection.

If it were my collection, I would want a Daytona of some sort. I used to own the Bluesy and the Rootbeer but I felt like I either wanted SS or full precious metal. I feel your OF YM is different and it is a great piece. Love the Ice dial DD.

I'm with Brian. This was my first thought as I looked at the post.

I agree with you Gus. This was my 2nd thought as I looked at the post.

[Exceeder]

I’d swap out the 126655 for a Daytona

[Robf52]

Drop the 126622 YM and add Sky-D or SS Daytona.
