SOTC after 4 years and what’s next?

[Vigilante24]

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!

Nice assortment

[grahammackay86]

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.

Great collection OP.

I’d consider adding a dive watch

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

[Hank]

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

[dmash]

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.

Something on leather.

[Andad]

I thought SOTC was another Omega.

[Kenny G]

I’d go with a dress watch…patek on leather.

[BNA/LION]

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

[Dr.Smellody]

Vintage Submariners

[WatchEater666]

Get something from an independent that reaches into the realm of art and high quality craftsmanship.

I think it’s a completely different experience.

[RoRoRo]

Solid collection

[Ichiran]

This is perfection I have no idea how to improve it significantly. Just enjoy them.

[Krash]

Aquanaut would be a perfect addition.

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

[travisb]

Really nice!

[HogwldFLTR]

Sky Dweller.

[1William]

A Submariner. PM/TT/SS take your pick.

[rmlovett1]

Great collection! I’d agree with your thinking and go PP next.

[Mr. Drunmond]

You need leather

[GolfJunkie]

124060

[Hulkhunter]

Lovely collection.

Is that a rose or white gold Daydate?

[subtona]

Patek 3940 / 5940 will round you out nicely.

[KatGirl]

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

I have always been intrigued with getting a speed master, but none have really sung to me. The new FOIS I definitely want to see in person and also the 321. Those would be the top 2 choices.

Thank you! Yes I did end up selling my Green sub MK2 and now thinking I want it back. Haha.

I agree. Cartier tank Louis would be my choice. Leather strap at the moment just doesn’t fit the lifestyle.

A Langhe is a beautiful brand. Langhe 1 with a moonphase has always interested me but not enough to pull the trigger. I do need to see the datograph in the metal but might be to big of a case size at 41mm

Thank you! Would live to see the collection some time. I contemplated that too with owning 2 Daytonas, but after seeing them side by side, 2 completely different watches in my opinion. Old ref panda was my fav and I liked the new ref black better than the 116500ln. I’m thinking about getting the green sub back eventually, but a different brand then Rolex and AP is calling me right now.
