I'm stuggling with my next Rolex. I know, what a great problem to have - right?!?

I currently have 3 watches:

- Omega Speedmaster Day/ Date Chrono - My first real watch, lots of great memories (worn on my wedding day, when my son was born, etc), silver dial, gets worn about 10% of the time thesedays.

- Rolex Explorer II - My first and only Rolex, white dial, my daily wearer at 85% of the time.

- Lange 1815 Up and Down Walter Lange LE - My dress watch and newest acquisition, wear it 5% of the time max.

I'm considering 3 Rolexes to add to my daily rotation with the Exp II, they are:

- Submariner 14060M (non-COSC) or 5513
- Explorer 1016
- Daytona, either a Zenith or current model - I prefer the white dial over the black dial

My current "watch funds" and "wife points" are low, so this will likely be a 2012 purchase. What would you buy and why?

I own a explorer and I LOVE IT but you have the second one so I would buy a Submariner =).

p_mcgee · 3 August 2011, 11:28 PM

sub...you already have an explorer & a classic chrono

dddrees · 3 August 2011, 11:33 PM

I would buy a Submariner 5513 because I don't have a non-date Sub. I already have a Daytona and the version of the Explorer your looking at does not appeal to me that much.

The Sub 14060M no doubt.
An iconic diver to complete the collection.

Sub!!

mjclark32 · 4 August 2011, 01:10 AM

Agree with getting a sub, you have a white faced sports watch. I think a black face would compliment it well.

edolecki · 4 August 2011, 01:10 AM

Submariner with the date (not the 14060M) - unless you don't care about the date. I'd feel a little lost without it, but that's just me.

kcmo · 4 August 2011, 03:03 AM

Considering what you have, probably a Submariner.

Sub!

texex91 · 4 August 2011, 03:36 AM

x5 Sub no doubt.

chiko323 · 4 August 2011, 03:40 AM

I just got the sub, it's great

that's what I recommend

malnik · 4 August 2011, 03:43 AM

A Daytona or DayDate. Need a fancy watch now since you already got everything else.

cbusjer · 4 August 2011, 03:55 AM

Sub 5513

tkc324 · 4 August 2011, 04:24 AM

Definitely the Sub.

Ski Dweller · 4 August 2011, 04:27 AM

Zenith Daytona. Everyone has a sub. The coffee barista at Starbucks, the waiter, the bellhop, everyone.

aelian · 4 August 2011, 04:34 AM

Sub no date.

watchdaddy1 · 4 August 2011, 04:36 AM

Sub for sure since you already have my wants
