I tend to agree that the one to complete the clan should be Gold and the DD would add variety to the divers..................accepting that inevitably there will then be a need for another one to complete the clan I'd go green with an LV or LVc, then of course when the next one is needed it could be a bluesy, and then..................... :)

You may have to trade in a piece or 2 to move on something that really excites you?

Wow the GMT YG really shines!

Always room for some gold in any serious collection.

You have a great collection and might miss something. If you budget doesn't allow for the DD look instead at a DJII, especially with blue dial/fluted bezel. I think that would complement your collection very nicely. Anyway, I'm just living vicariously through you and others here on this forum.

Don't forget a new bigger box. Which also means you will need to fill it up with more than just 1.

I'd go after a DDII or Sky Dweller next. If you stay in the sport line I'd get the Hulk LVC or Exp II.

A Gold DJ or DD, you need something for a suit! (although I would wear all with a suit, but you know what I mean, something for the evenings and parties)
Love your collection, never enough Rolex!

1. needs to be rolex, or can you consider another brand?
2. needs to be SS sports model, or can you consider YG or RG?

if it needs to be rolex, but not necessarily an SS sports model, maybe one of the new day-dates? leather instead of bracelet, splash of color, day-date.

if it needs to be a rolex and it needs to be an SS sports model, then LVc fits the bill.

if it needs to be a rolex and it needs to be a sports model, TT GMTIIc? or go big and get a full YG GMTIIc?

if it doesn't need to be a rolex, you have many great choices.

Gus,

The 5167 is looking really nice! How does it wear vs. a 40mm Sub?

Best,

Fred

Its also 40 so it Wears similar size wise but is much lighter... Best to try it on if possible.

Its a great daily wear suits all but the most extreme conditions...
read - no construction:)
