Help on celebration watch choice?!

Hey all—I’m turning 40 in the next few days, looking to add another watch to my small and humble collection.
I bought my first ‘real’ watch (Sinn 104 white) back in late 2019 while impatiently waiting for my Submariner 114060 to celebrate some major life goals…then, bought a Sinn 104 black matte a month or so later. Loved my Sinn twins. Great MN AD sold me my Sub in Feb’ 2020 and I’ve almost never taken it off in nearly 3 years. It brings me so much joy and satisfaction in a daily basis. I absolutely love it and it’s my favorite possession.
Life handed me a ton of challenges shortly after acquiring my Sub—2020 &2021 were a real bi*#$
in all the possible ways life can be a bi*#$. Sold my business, sold my house/classic truck and most of my belongings, divorce, and moved across the country for a fresh start in a new place. No sympathy, not a victim, just facts.

Gifted my oldest brother his first ‘real’ watch, my Sinn 104 black w/ matte for being a huge supporter and help in it all—he loves it.

Throughout it all, my Rolex reminds me daily of my accomplishments, successes, and lucky lot (blessings) in life.
After a great deal of patience and perseverance, things are turning around. I have a wonderful new business venture on the horizons, great new friends and turning 40 and moving on. Time to celebrate.
So: walked into new AD to inquire about updated Air King availability and talk watches. Sales associate was fantastic and basically implied that many SS sports models could be a ‘reality’ and ‘doable.’ I put my name down for a couple models, including AK, Milgaus blue, and Pepsi on jubilee…
I’m wondering if I am falling out of love with the original idea of the new AK (despite fantastic updates) and am considering some beautiful alternatives—budget is <$10k.

TL;DR
What would you all add to the mix:






Best photo of current collection (minus black Sinn 104!)


I absolutely love this forum and all the pics, info and opinions by the WIS…I’ve learned so much…thanks for your opinions and insights.

Best ya’ll! One day at a time!
