Looking for a gift

[Birkie]

I am looking for a gift for my husband for our 10th anniversary. He wants a gaming PC

Since it’s milestone anniversary I would like to give him something special. Any recommendations? Here is what he currently owns:
1. Bluesy
2. Hulk
3. Daytona - black dial
4. Hublot- Big bang
5. Breitling Day Date
6. Omega - planet ocean (I think)

What model (Rolex) would be a nice addition to his collection?

I am also open to other brands.

Thank you so much.

GMT Master 2 or Speedy would be a nice addition to the power collection.

[antelope]

Go big PM GMT Blue or Meteorite, WG Daytona, YG Daytona, new SkyDweller on oyster flex or SS Sky Dweller blue or Black dial.

Which speedmaster do you recommend?

Well he seems to be a sports watch guy.

So GMT or Datejust 41 with fluted bezel and jubilee bracelet. Datejust being a little more dressy, maybe he’ll enjoy the change.

Think either of those two would be a winner :)

[HippoPAPAmus]

It seems to me he is missing a GMTII. Since he likes the Bluesy and it is the easiest to source, I would say check out the TT CHNR. Full RG is beautiful as well. Lucky guy, hope he’s on his game with his gift! Congrats you two.

GMT would be lovely but I am not sure if I will be able to get one from my local AD. I will try for sure. Thank you

Mostly based on having the Hublot would probably be suitable.

Lucky husband!

Well firstly, congratulations on your anniversary. He’s a lucky man and I hope he is being as thoughtful about what to get you as you are in choosing a gift for him. My suggestion would be the Two Tone, oyster steel and rose gold GMT Master 2 CHNR.
As he already owns a bluesy, he’s obviously not someone averse to a two tone watch.
And if you express your interest now at your authorised Rolex dealer, you might be able to get him a BLRO Pepsi GMT for your 20th anniversary.
Good luck and hope you both have many more happy years together.

Thank you. That’s a beautiful watch.

Yes a TT CHNR is what I am working on. Might be for the 20th anniversary hahaha

What do you guys think of Explorer II?

As there are two dial options, he may have a preference, so his reaction could go either way. Although given that he might have got a gaming console, he’s in no position to complain.
He already has a black faced Daytona so perhaps the white Polar dial would be the option to go for.
As a curve ball, what about a Milgauss?
Oh man I really hope he’s buying you something nice

Agree with this suggestion - GMT if it's in the budget.

I have an EXP II and love it, it's different than all the others. But if you consider that - go with the Polar dial, it's part of what set's it aside in my opinion.

I have the 42mm Speedy Pro / hesitate / manual wind. That's the original with the steel bracelet. I heard the First Omega in Space is pretty good...however that's in leather bracelet only.

[KatGirl]

Get him the original Speedy Pro , handwinding, with the hesalite Crystal. It is the iconic model. Just tell an Omega AD, you want the moon watch, only new.

[JRell]

I would go with a black sub, love the 124060, without a date. Most classic watch for a classic collection and year.

You asked specifically about the Speedmaster. I would check out the Ed White Speedmaster. It's got the classic/legendary caliber 321 and while more expensive than many of the other steel Speedmasters out there it's a very cool watch. Check out the review on Hodinkee. Something non-Rolex to consider.

The reference number is: 311.30.40.30.01.00

[Lesnerelli23]

Explorer I! Classy and sporty.

[winst]

Exp 2 White Dial

[mrockperez]

If he dresses up for work I'd say a Explorer 1. It seems like he is more into the sports models though so given his lack of GMT, I'd go for a GMT master II!

[fsprow]

An Audemars Piguet 15500. A nice compliment to what he has and a beautiful watch.

P.S. I love Dubai.

[Rado63]

I would just get him the gaming PC. If you insist on another watch then a Rolex Day Date or Date just or even a Cellini. An Omega Speedmaster, Deville Tresor. JLC Reverso, or Blancpain Fifty Fathoms, AP Royal Oak or royal oak off shore, Vacheron Overseas or Patrimony, Patek Aquanaut, Nautilus, or complications or calatrava. There is some to get you started.

[KillaCam]

Polar 216570 would complement beautifully

[bremersm]

I will go against the grain and suggest the Cartier Drive Extra Flat. One of the best looking dress watches out there and there is something special about wearing a thin watch.

[Tele59]

If you really want to be diverse, get him a JLC reverso.

No matter what you get, I'm sure he will love it! A very blessed man he is!!

[RaZCaL]

The new Cartier Santos if you are open to other brands. It’s a beautiful watch and very versatile with the quickchange system.

A Datejust 41 is a welcome change too. Lucky husband!
