What would you add to this collection? I only dress up for funerals and weddings, I'm in my 50s, and looking to stay under 10K. Thoughts?

RP12 · 7 October 2022, 09:57 AM

Nice collection. I’d add something with a blue dial. Chronograph maybe?

Trailboss516 · 7 October 2022, 10:16 AM

Aqua Terra because most will suggest Speedy.

inadeje · 7 October 2022, 11:25 AM

A chronograph would be a nice addition

Carguy87 · 7 October 2022, 11:25 AM

Speedmaster moonphase or Zenith Chronomaster sport - your choice of dial color.

JRell · 7 October 2022, 12:12 PM

Really like these two - omega chrono and blue dial

SLWoodster · 8 October 2022, 11:38 AM

These two are really nice.

How about a Cartier Santos. There is blue dial & black option that are both really cool.

Funny you mention the Santos. My wife texted me a picture from the mall a few weeks ago. The pic was a blue dial Santos and she said it was a really nice watch.

It is, altho I prefer the two tone white dial as I have a few other blue dials. For a blue dial Rolex I'd go for a YM blue dial for your collection.

Great idea

The Speedy57 with a green dial would also be nice

Bladeshot · 7 October 2022, 12:23 PM

Blue dial is a great recommendation! If you like TT, how about a preowned 16613? You will be at $10k on that, soon. As prices decline…

Just another WIS who loves to trade.

I'll throw a Datejust on Jubilee into the mix. I don't find them overly dressy personally so it shouldn't stop you wearing one.

I absolutely love my silver DJ36.

Alternative suggestion would be a chronograph. I actually quite like the look of the Zenith Chronomaster Original (not a fan of the Chronomaster Sport).

Daveh3196 · 7 October 2022, 08:59 PM

Thanks for the reply’s everyone. I was really expecting the consensus to be to add a standard black Submariner. Not mentioned once! Speaking of Submariners, I actually purchased a sub back in 1993. I wound up selling that one in 2012. I also owned a hesilite speedy a few years ago which I also wound up selling. I have to say I miss the speedy more than the sub but I am drawn to the newest sub which I feel has really hit the sweet spot with the latest redesign.

16613 mentioned yesterday - but definitely not a consensus. .

My bad… I was thinking the standard black sub.

Moonwtach or some variation of Speedmaster.

Alternatively, a DJ (fluted/jubilee) with non-black or white dial.

1William · 7 October 2022, 09:47 PM

A Chronograph from Tudor would look good. I own both the black and the white dial and they are very nice and will not break the bank. You can never go wrong with a Submariner or Speedmaster though.

Rolexken · 7 October 2022, 09:55 PM

I noticed the Seiko SNZG - I have 3 Rolexes which are worn daily but I confess my SNZG does my heavy lifting !1

joa · 7 October 2022, 10:05 PM

now is a great time to get a classic black submariner

decent chance that you will start wearing your luxury watch outside of funerals and weddings

enjoythemusic · 7 October 2022, 10:24 PM

Looks like a lot of round case timepieces and just white or black. How about a Heuer Monaco?

For about $10k you could get a CUSTOM MADE Torsti Laine timepiece.

Really appreciate all of the different ideas. Have never seen the Laine. Really nice looking piece.

Shadow Play · 8 October 2022, 12:14 AM

As you say a Submariner would be a nice addition but what about a Tudor Pelagos 39mm? A great everyday watch I’d imagine.

sigma089 · 8 October 2022, 12:37 AM

I'd take a look at Grand Seiko. Great watches at a reasonable price. Finish would be a step up from everything you currently own. I'd replace that Seiko 5 you got there with one.

Take a look at their quartz models if you are looking for a beater. This would also add something fresh to your collection without breaking the bank. Seiko invented quartz, so there's also an interesting horological angle there. I own several Grand Seikos and love all of them. If I had to get rid of all but one, I'd keep my SBGN003 Quartz GMT.

GS is definitely on the radar. I've always liked the SBGM221.

eespi003 · 8 October 2022, 05:34 AM

Nice collection, you should add a Sub.

dubins930 · 8 October 2022, 06:52 AM

Been loving the zenith chronographs lately. It would make an awesome addition, I personally love the tricolor subdials.

tifosi · 8 October 2022, 07:38 AM

Omega Speedmaster

bnsxn · 8 October 2022, 09:24 AM

I completely agree that you should add a blue dial piece to your collection.
the rolex YM blue dial will surely be a good fit.
