Advices on new Watch

Goodmorning everyone, i m Happy and thankful to join this Amazing forum community, i m a guy under 30 ( still for One year:D) with a big passion for watches, having in collection a datejust 126300 blue dial Oyster bracelet and a Rolex Explorer tt anniversary 124273. Trying to add One more piece in my collection, what would you go for a 124300 , 126710grnr, 126622 rhodium or 124060? I like all of them, but i have to decide wich will be next in collection, and i really Need your precious advice;
124300: Always liked the Classic Oyster Perpetual in this new reference, love the green dial and price more affordable also if for this model i should go grey with a premium of 1500€
126710grnr: One of my Dream Watch Is the GMT especially with Oyster bracelet, the ad, when i tried on this reference ( wich i like the most compering to others gmts) told me Is not impossible but i have keep visiting the store to see if they Will get One for me in future (this ad i dont have history because i had to move back to my country and my watches i bought at another ad far from me right now), go grey Is not an option for this model, too big premium for me. This Watch It would be a complication that i dont have (btw my 124273 has same movement as the 124300)
126622: looking at the ehstetics Is beautiful, nice Lines and fit perfect on the wrist because It Is less thicker than the GMT but has same movement as the datejust
124060: an icon, a diver that i dont have, same movement as my 124273 but with 300 m waterproof , i like as well this model and missing It but probably have some more preference and the others 3 models

My big question Is It deserve to wait and see if i can get a GMT that i like from the ad or go grey and take the op green or asking for a yacht master or 124060?
Which Will be the best add to have an equilibrium in my collection?
Thanks in Advance for the future advices

Looking at the list seems like you need a diver watch. I would say go with GMT. in this color combination it will be rather similar to Sub which would be my second choice.

I like YM too, but not going to get anything that has non Ceramic, non Fluted bezel. Scratches on the bezel really disappoint me :D

Cannot go wrong.

Since you ask, GMT or the Sub, but that's just another guy's opinion from the Internet. The real question is: what speaks to you? I usually find that my first instinct is the right one; it's easy to overthink these things.
We can only tell you what we like.
When it comes to women, cars, and watches, I think it’s best to make your own choices.
Good luck with your decision.

I have both No Date Sub and YM40 Rhodium. Love them both but wear the YM more, as it is the most comfortable watch I own.

That OP is nice.

The simple answer is that no one else call tell you what you like or what is best for you when it comes to luxury watches. Buy what you like best at the price point you can afford. This gives you a watch that fits your needs and circumstances and is "you", rather than getting you a watch that I like.

I have Explorer-II in my collection. It’s the best traveling watch for me because it has GMT function so I can easily change the hour movement back and forward (thanks to the jumping hour true GMT movement ) , yet not so difficult to get it from AD. Since you don’t have GMT model in your collection and if you like t, I highly recommend this to you.

I like that yacht master out of the bunch. GMT too, but seems like a nightmare from an AD right now.

Hey Vinny, welcome to the forum!

You've got some great pieces already! Based on your collection, it sounds like you're trying to find a balance between aesthetics and function. If I were in your shoes, I'd go with the 126710grnr. The GMT complication adds versatility, and the Oyster bracelet gives it a sleek yet sporty look. Plus, it's a complication you don’t have yet, which would diversify your collection nicely.

That said, the Submariner 124060 is iconic and would be a solid choice, especially since you don’t have a diver. It’s a tough call, but I'd recommend holding out for the GMT if you have the patience – it's worth it!

Good luck with your decision! Looking forward to seeing what you end up choosing.

Thanks again for the answers, i would like the GMT but hearing from the ad Just next year Will take the interest for the list and Will be long list how they make me understand was Better choose something else because of the realy long time or impossible get, the same they say me about the 124060 but with more hopes but about the 126610ln next year can be arriving, the Explorer i m still Surprise how i like It, how differenti Is from my others watches, and look like a Daily Watch that i can use and in other occasion switch with my datejust or Explorer tt, and another reason Is a GMT that still i dont have in collection, i feel to go back at the ad and buy the Explorer maybe It can be the best and make me not missing a submariner or a gmt

Personally, I’d get the GMT, that’s my taste and what would make me happy. Whatever you’ll love looking at most (as long as no certain complication needed), get that, that'd be my advice on what you should pick.

I would go Sub speaking for myself, but if the GMT is the one you desire there is no replacing that, so go for the GMT.

Don’t let price or the opinions of the forum influence what you like best.

The price differences between all of the watches you’ve listed is pretty negligible in the grand scheme of things and it really seams like you’d be happiest with the GMT based on your post.

If that’s the case, get the GMT.

I agree with the above posters - you can't go wrong with a GMT or Submariner but my advance would be to go with your heart and that's the GMT-Master.
