Hello,
New member from Japan saying hello!

I have a watch box which houses 6 pieces however I only have 5 pieces. I originally limited myself to 3 pieces - my wife said I had too many watches at 2 watches!

I decided late last year that watches really make me happy and I am sick of stupid rules! So told my wife it was my watches or her. She decided to stay. I bought a Rolex Explorer II Polar 16570 and a Vintage Vacheron Dress watch.

I now have 1 more hole to fill. I still owe a little money on the Explorer II so it will be at least 6 months before I fill the spot. Thinking vintage Rolex 1601 in steel with white gold bezel? or perhaps a 5513 sub (But subs are a bit overpriced IMHO).

Please take a look at my collection and advice what I should buy. IT DOES NOT NEED TO BE ROLEX! But this is a Rolex forum!

gone-rolex-mad · 3 April 2011, 04:55 PM

Beautiful collection. Very nice box too. I also tried to limit myself to 3 watches, it did not work. My Mrs is kind of ok with it as I have bought her a couple of nice watches along the way. How about a daytona, royal oak, or a sea dweller 4000? Or make your wife happy and buy all three!

general · 3 April 2011, 04:55 PM

Perhaps a vintage sub.

ArcticMoose · 3 April 2011, 05:14 PM

Looks to me like you are missing a Sub! :-)

Second recommendation would be a Pepsi.

Third, based on your taste, would be a JLC with a few complications.

Dr. Robert · 3 April 2011, 05:21 PM

A Rolex Submariner.
p.s. a most excellent quintet!!!!!

Pepsi would be good... You're too black & white. Put some color in it! pepsi, LV , coke, Milgauss...

dddrees · 3 April 2011, 05:20 PM

Great Collection, Congrats.

I think a vintage Sub, Sea Dweller or GMT would work perfectly here.

Stengah · 3 April 2011, 05:21 PM

Yes you are missing a Sub. I think a Panerai would also fit well if that floats your boat. I'm not too knowledgeable about them though so I can't recommend a specific model.

Fearsome Puppy · 3 April 2011, 05:22 PM

Nice collection, agree with the other comments that a nd sub would complement well...

jlee5050 · 3 April 2011, 05:48 PM

Interesting... I've seen this collection before... and for some reason I get a vibe this member is not from Japan...

just my .02

thewatchguy93 · 3 April 2011, 07:09 PM

I think a GMTIIc or a Submariner would fit in there just nice

Paracentesis · 3 April 2011, 08:14 PM

I'd flip the Explorer II for a Sub, then get a JLC.

This but a Sub no date to be more specific + a JLC.

travisb · 3 April 2011, 08:50 PM

I think a Sub of any kind would fit perfectly with the others!

greenlotus · 3 April 2011, 09:00 PM

Nice collection! I vote for a Sub or GMT2C

risico · 3 April 2011, 09:58 PM

Looking at the theme of your collection (2 explorers and 1 exploration watch speedy) as well as 3 whitedials and and 2 blackdials as well as enjoying classic styled watches... I suggest you'd wait and get the new updated black dial ExpII .
I think that'll make you the most happy in the long run

Excellent watchbox by the way, Japan made?

EchoBlueUK · 3 April 2011, 10:07 PM

TT SubC perhaps?

gregmoeck · 3 April 2011, 10:20 PM

my first reaction would be a submariner or GMT, but after looking at your collection it would seem a Milgauss would fit better. Check out the Rolex Milgauss, very sophisticated, shiny, and unique.

esm · 3 April 2011, 11:37 PM

You have a hole in your box?

nathan1038 · 3 April 2011, 11:40 PM

Why not something a bit different, you could try square or rectangles -

i.e.

Cartier roadster
Tag Monaco

Then again you did post this on the rolex forum so if we presume that it is a rolex you are seeking then in my mind (and presuming your budget)
it has to be the Rolex daydate in platinum. Best of the best there

horseco · 4 April 2011, 12:01 AM

Vacheron Overseas non chrono, would look correct in that spot...

B. Doggy · 4 April 2011, 01:09 AM

Do it!

STEELINOX · 4 April 2011, 01:17 AM

Looks like your Collection culd use some color...

Howsabouta...

mike · 4 April 2011, 01:15 AM

That is a stunning collection.

It seems you have all the bases covered except a diver. I'd go there and to be honest a minty vintage diver would be my focus. 5513 is a good bet as is a minty 1680.

SaddleSC · 4 April 2011, 01:20 AM

Submariner or classic Sea Dweller (16600)

renfield33 · 4 April 2011, 01:33 AM

You need an aquanaut

Lion · 4 April 2011, 01:38 AM

Welcome to the Forum and you have a very nice collection...how about a vintage Pepsi or a Tudor!!!

Kokyuryoku · 4 April 2011, 01:46 AM

I think you'd love a nice 1601.
