Air + Surf & Turf

Working on this collection for the past 2 years. Bluesy and Sprite are my demigrails, but I do not expect to get my grails anytime soon.

What would you add or swap from this collection?

Can you get which one gets the most wrist time?

Are those your wife’s on the ends of the bottom row? I’m nor a fan of two tone with black dial though.

You need a Day Date 40 Olive and a PM Daytona on Oyster flex IMO. Maybe trade the black explorer 2 for a polar one. Massive number to do all of that though… but you asked!

Great collection you though. If you did nothing it’s still amazing as we share quite a few of the same watches.

What are you thinking other than what was mentioned?

He said it first, polar ExpII. It’s such different watch with that lovely white dial. Especially in a sea of black dials. Best to you!

Thanks! Yes DJ and explorer TT are my wife’s.

I was thinking about the white explorer 2, but I would not necessarily swap them. Maybe add an old reference.

A Day Date will definitely need to be added at some point. The aspirational one is the platinum with an Ice Blue dial. But the Olive dial you suggested is gorgeous.

Daytona yes. I tried a TT and I really liked it. I obviously like the Panda, but I just know it won’t happen.

I was also considering a Sky dweller. But the one I like is kind of unobtainable.

I would also consider one watch with a meteorite dial.

Like you said, regardless of the choice, the spend will definitely need to increase. Let’s see what next year brings in terms of availability.

Nice collection! I’m guessing the Exp. 40 gets the most wrist time because it’s comfortable, versatile, and muted in appearance.

Thanks! Unfortunately, the 40 is in last place. The Explorer II gets more exploring, but not top 3.

Not ready for PP yet. But aspirational for sure. Nevertheless, let’s see what happens in the coming years with availability and pricing.
