I would go BLRO and Daytona on OF. Gives you three different bracelets, looks, and the ultimate trio.

You could go with an Sea-Air-Land theme.

- Sub
- GMT
- Explorer or Daytona

This is exactely my intention. Stop at 3 watch collection. That is my choice:

1. Sea - DSSD or SD43
2. Air - BLNR
3. Land - Daytona C or Explorer II

Left one to go.

Speedmaster on leather with heselite crystal
Gmt / Tudor gmt / Tudor black bay 58

Probably the Tudor gmt out of those three third options

Then all three will have a different character and wear very differently. There is something very special about a 1 rolex in multiple watch collection. It feels very special putting it on. Once you have a larger collection of 2 or more, the first time magic goes

I have a three-watch collection. White gold Daytona, SD 43 and a Glashutte Original Senator Excellence.
I think it's a bit narrow to only have Rolex.

Air, land, sea

Steel, leather, rubber

GMT, chrono, diver

Blue, white, black

With small collections diversification is key

I completed my trio a few weeks ago, and would be hard pressed to be any happier.

♛- Yet to be determined, but a white 16520 is on the short list. (I believe that I'll be able to read it better than my old 116520)
