Next pick?

I have these two and they complete to be on my wrist equally. I tried SS Daytona older steel bezel and a white stick DJ 41. Both couldn’t stay for different reasons. I am looking for something that could challenge this duo and add to the mix but I am also afraid I may buy something and quickly regret. Or may be I could just be content with these

Panda, Black Dial or OF Daytona would be the best bet if you can pull it off. The new reference for all - The OF band would be a nice change up for you.

Solid yellow Gold Sub or a two-tone sport model (GMT/SUB) to mix it up a little.

Tell us more about the reasons the other Daytona and DJ didn't work out for you.

Daytona while a beautiful watch to look at, it didn’t work for me as I quickly realized that I need a ticking seconds hand in a mechanical watch which is really a big deal for me. I even kept the chrono running for that reason but someone told me it’s not a good idea. I know it’s sounds crazy. I also prefer a Date but that is not a dealbreaker and I can live without. The white stick DJ although very clean just felt too simple but my taste might change on it and I could come back. I guess I like colors

Ceramic Daytona or a yellow gold Day-Date. Maybe even a simple Explorer.

Try AP, PP or even GP.

At this point you seem to have or have experienced most of what Rolex has to offer.

Quite frankly, watch collecting would be rather boring if we all stuck to one brand.

+1 Daytona

I have a few GMT's and Subs I regularly rock my Batman, Sprite and Pepsi and have to say I am now converted and love the Daytona and an amazing addition to the stable!

If a chronograph interests you and you’d like to try something different, I really like the 321.

I’m also pretty smitten with this GO but have yet to see one in person
