For the speedy slot - you have such classic, iconic pieces throughout - I feel a classic speedy pro (or a vintage version of the pro / ed white / etc.) would fit perfectly with the overall theme throughout vs. any of the various speedy iterations!

I'd suggest a Daytona or Speedmaster as others have. A four digit Daytona will have to be a real milestone to justify the cost. As for the Speedmaster, maybe look for a YG one, but the FOIS is a good selection too. It looks like you are comfortable with smaller size watches.

Which brings me to another suggestion, and AP Poyal Oak 15202 or 15300.

Have fun filling the box!

Great collection and even better stories associated with each watch. They truly are special!

That's a pretty cool collection but I'm struggling with any of those on a NATO. Dear Lord, I can't un-see that now

I agree on the 4-digit Daytona...but the WANT is stronggggg...

As for the Speedy, one of the main reasons I like the FOIS is the size. I'm most certainly comfortable with what's considered "smaller" although it used to be "regular".

As for AP, I certainly respect and appreciate but don't think I'll ever own. It's already a stretch for me to consider Omega. I'm one of those stubborn brand loyal guys.

Thanks for the comment!

Thanks! The 1803 is the latest addition (only had it a few weeks)...I LOVE it. And today's Talking Watches with Nicklaus on Hodinkee happened to showcase the same reference even down to the year which was a fun coincidence.

Haha, sounds like you're one of those folks who prefers natos only on MilSubs? :)

Here are a handful of my nato combinations to see if I can start turning you away from the dark side!
