SOTC after 4 years and what’s next?
Giving the collection a proper bath as they are rarely together under the same roof and then began contemplating how the heck I got to this point. Haha. It started off with “I just want one” and it was all a blur after that. Purchased and sold multiple models and landed on these as they are my favorite from Rolex and AP.
Looking to get a Patek aquanaut next. Love to hear your input of what you recommend next or your own SOTC. Cheers! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Great collection, enough of a mix with the Rolex. A Patek would round it off! Also, how about a speedmaster? Some great new models out recently.

Nearly all bases covered, but you need a dressy option on a strap. I'd go with a Cartier Tank or JLC Reverso.

Beautiful collection. I would add a Sub or the new BP FF 42mm and/or an ALS Datograph.

This is a solid collection and replicates my own tastes. I think it's super well done. You've even got it down to the 11 series white and 12 series black Daytona.
Speaking of them, do you find yourself actually wearing both equally? I can't ever bring myself to buy two colors of one watch (although my wife has a Oyster & Jubilee DJ36 and a Tiffany and Candy Pink OP36, completely contradicting me haha). As for next piece, I think a MK2 126610LV is the play here (the new bezel is highly superior to first version), or Deepsea DBlue if you want to go big. It fits in perfectly and differentiates enough where it won't just sit in the safe. |

I thought SOTC was another Omega.

Nice collection!
My recommendation is not a specific watch but to wait and when you see one that sings to you, then you'll know.

I like this line of thinking; maybe an Explorer 2 or something else that can be awesome on a rubber strap for beach / pool days?
Either way killer collection! If you add the Aquanaut keep us posted

Get something from an independent that reaches into the realm of art and high quality craftsmanship.
I think it’s a completely different experience. |

Aquanaut would be a perfect addition.

That AP looks a bit strange, what reference is it?

Lovely collection.
Is that a rose or white gold Daydate?

Patek 3940 / 5940 will round you out nicely.

Get rid of the odd geometric shaped one, and you will have a nice collection.
