Help me decide what to focus on next?

Here's a snapshot of the current lineup.

It's all steel. I'm thinking I probably need a PM dress watch next.

So the question is, what would you get and why? Specific brand I'd like to dive into is PP and ALS. Or maybe I should get a Cellini or Code 11.59???

I think a nice ALS Saxonia or a VC Traditionnelle would fit in quite nicely.

Judging by the pieces you already own, I would assume most of the time you are not wearing a suit and tie. Of course I'm making my own assumptions... but the point is, if you have no occasions for a dress watch (or not many), do you really need a dress watch? I would definitely add some color to the collection (but that's my taste). I'm not a dress watch guy at all though... love how they look but not nearly enough opportunities to choose the dress watch over a sport watch for me.

I was straight up staring at that model for months. I like the old school feel of the Hesalite. If it weren't for the AD calls, I would've pulled on that. But now I'm broke and need to recoup funds.

Hype/availability/price aside? 116500 steel ceramic daytona, white dial. Or a pepsi on jubilee.

A day date 40, YG would crown that collection off quite nicely as well.

Something gold from Rolex, maybe a Sub or Daytona? If not sports, then DD 100% or a PP Calatrava

If you’re broke, why are you looking at a PM watch?

I've always wanted a DD. I need to seriously think about this.

Are the wait for these easier than Subs, Daytonas etc?

Good observation, I'm almost always in a shirt and jeans. Sometimes I do want to wear something less sporty though.

You can't stay broke unless you keep spending

Looking at the rest of your collection, the AP Code would seem to fit your style and be dressier than anything you have now, but still pretty dynamic/flexible. The Code is underrated IMHO. Gorgeous watch.

The new Patek 6119 is a terrific upgrade in the Calatrava line, you could take a look at that. A Lange 1 - can’t go wrong there, also love the ALS time zone already mentioned on thread.

RG D-D Olive dial is the hardest one for D-D, harder than SS Sub but easier than YG Daytona Green dial.

I think you should definitely add an Omega Speedmaster Professional with the Caliber 3861! Nice collection.
