I also think a sub and GMT would complement your collection well

I would buy a pre-owned, good shape no paper 16618 for around 24-25K; then hunt for a 16570 Explorer 2 for 5-6K.

Explorer 2 for days, 16618 for nights and weekends. Killer two watch collection.

Sell what you have, add proceeds to the $30K budget, buy an all gold Submariner, GMT Master II, or Daytona and wear it as your only watch every day. You won't regret it.

Forgive me for my bluntness, having been

Either one of your 30k choices ? …Is a sure way
to say bye bye to the value of the largest portion of 30k.

If I had $30k to spend on watches, it would be option 1 but BLRO instead of BLNR.

I don't recall either OP Youth Against mentioning anything about going into the watch trading business.

Bluesy sub for sure.. G Shock for sure (this is a GMT for travel!).. and put the rest in a world index fund. You have a great collection and just enjoy these pieces and see if your tastes change in a few years.
