Buying one Rolex opens up a door most people will never walk through...paying thousands of dollars for a watch.

When you start looking at adding another Rolex, proceed with caution. It's a slippery slope. Take some time and think what it is exactly the first one is not giving you...then start looking.

Congrats on the Sub. Enjoy it and then see what other reference keeps appealing to you.

The flood gates have been opened. Enjoy your sub and figure out what other models float your boat. I got a LVc and BLNR. They are a great pair and totally different. May add a Subc next or a 16710 Pepsi. I traded in my 114060 and miss it. The Pepsi though is gorgeous and wanted to continue to add some additional color. A black sub though is so classic. Been thinking 110460 or 5 digit sub. Pepsi prices are so high now.

I have a IWC Big Pilot and love it. I have a larger wrist so it works for me. They make a smaller version pilot though if necessary. Love the portugeiser white blue model. Another great watch is an Omeaga speedmaster.

Perhaps a Datejust or a Sky-Dweller ?

but I think you're fishing for a watch related answer, so... my next question would be "What is your budget?" ... are you capped at say $25K $50K, 100k?

I own two watches now, having owned dozens over the years... Do I wish I didn't need to sell some to pay for the others, heck ya... but I did, so I'm down to two, but those two are my Holy Grails.. Ask yourself what your objective is, and work at it.. is it to own another Rolex? a Patek? AP? Gold, Plat, SS? what is your budget.. then we can chat about what to buy next.

I'd take my time and really consider something totally different to what you already have.

That said, you could consider the DJ41 and take your time trying to decide which configuration you like best. You'll need to try on the many different ones to get the best idea.
