It’s a marathon not a sprint

I’ve been pleased to acquire these at an AD taking my time over the past 3 years. My humble collection continues to grow and I look forward to my next piece, I’d respectfully ask for your opinions as to where you see any obvious brands/references I should be considering.

Fantastic collection! Are you primarily Rolex or open for other brands?

We have somewhat similar taste as evidenced from my humble (relative to others here) collection below.

I would go for a BLNR. Or potentially look at something different like a Glashutte SeaQ Panorama Date, Blancpain Fifty Fathoms, or a Panerai. IWC Pilots watch could be interesting as well.

I like your collection thus far. I have a 126300 Bright Blue and a 124060. At this point, I would switch away from Rolex. Perhaps look at Panerai if the budget allows Moser. I am fond of the Patek 5212A. These are watches I am considering getting over the next few years. Also, Tudor. Maybe a titanium watch like a Pelagos.

That's a great collection. Perhaps a dressier JLC or Lange is next.

I want a small collection where it’s a daily challenge to choose one to wear. Yours is about there.

Given your monochrome style preference, what about a SS black dial Skydweller (reference 336934)?

I’m liking your preference for bezels without any blue/green/red in them!

Great collection! I’d add some color personally.
There’s no right or wrong, obvious choice/brand, etc…in this hobby/journey, only personal preference. Get what you’ll love looking at on your wrist.

Have you ever posted a photo of your collection in its entirety? I admire your pieces from afar in the WRUW threads.

Great collection. I think I would go some variant of the GMT Master next if it were me.

Trying not to hijack the thread but yes, I’ve posted it a few times here. I’m building it back up now as I’ve offloaded quite a few recently to fund my other first priority hobby……cars.
I’ll post again once I get to a place where I want my watch collection to be.
(At least for that point in time )
It’s ever changing for me, which is part of the fun/journey

Fantastic. That’s a similar collection to what I have and I think that’s the same watch box, too. I noticed you live in Florida as well. So do I. You can’t go wrong with a second diver down here.
