I'm thinking a Tudor, maybe Heritage Chrono. Though that darn new Advisor is singing sweetly to me!

You have a very nice collection and selection of watches including a nice variety of brands. I think you need to add a Panerai, a Jaeger LeCoultre, and an A. Lange & Sohne to complete your fantastic collection. If you can only add one more finish it off with the Lange!

Hello,
Thanks for all the great advice.

Please realise that yes - I have a fantastic collection - however I am not a rich man. I am a working class man... well maybe lower middle class.

I would love a plastic sub - but too $$$ at present. Lange is great but I have 1 x patek calatrava already - that was dam expensive!

I just got in a friends Cartier Panther in Steel. It is quartz.... not sure how it fits in with the collection.... trying it for a while - I will purchase if it is a good fit!

I FOLLOWED THE ADVICE HERE!
a. A square or rectangular watch
b. A different type of watch - this being quartz - nobody mentioned that Q word but I heard ideas of something different.
I ruled out 2 tone as I am more a steel or white metal person and only have 1 yellow gold piece to break the rules.

Great collection Bud. I think you need a diver in there. Like many have said a submariner would look perfect in the box. Pricey and all but you seem to get the job done regardless of price. Good work.

Second recommendation would be a Pepsi.

Third, based on your taste, would be a JLC with a few complications.
Pepsi would be good... You're too black & white. Put some color in it! pepsi, LV , coke, Milgauss...

From your post title I thought you were like me, buying things to fill holes in your life. I was going to advise you to stop - it's a thankless and ungrateful way to live. Happily, you just need to fill a hole in a BOX :D

If you're not into vintage, I think one of these would fit perfectly.
