Maybe you need to think outside the Rolex/Tudor box, although I love my GMT Tudor. I think that every collection should include at least one Omega Speedmaster. It took me a long time to warm up to them, but now that I own one, I understand why it is such a special watch. Also look at the Panerai Luminor collection.

Wait to see what happens at basel. Something cool might pop up like a bb58 in blue (fingers crossed!). Or, if Tudor happens to launch a reissue of the sub, that might be perfect.

The blue dials are great. After a couple of them, I got tired of the blue staring me in the face, FWIW. If you like it then it is a great choice.

To go with your two professional watches, try:

1. Colored dial from the classic line.
2. Colored dial from the professional line.
3. Two tone from the classic line.
4. Something completely different.

Interesting. What blue dials did you have?

I would personally try to wait and enjoy those two beauties you’ve already got.

Then, I think a Daytona, Explorer, or Speedy Pro would round out to a killer 3 piece collection.

LOVE the white Milgauss BTW. Just picked up one for myself, a gorgeous, quirky, underrated watch.

At the end of the day you have to ask yourself how you're going to use the watch. Do you need a time marker? A timezone reference, or a chronograph to time things, etc. If it's strictly about comfort and style, then the one you like the best and feels the best is the winner.

All the watches recommended here are good choices. What is required of the watch in your daily wearing of it is the question. And, for what it's worth, if you haven't had the OP39 on the wrist, it is really a treat in appearance and even more so in comfort. Let us all know, and post a picture of the winner when you pull the trigger.

While I can't offer a specific watch, after reading some posts I'd like to throw a couple suggestions, to help narrow your selection.

1.) I'd personally stick rolex (or maybe tudor) on the next piece. Seeing as you're two rolexes deep, I think a three piece rolex collection would unify much better than throwing an omega or something of the sorts in there.

2.) Go with modern, as it seems thats the direction your collection is going.

I would add a chronograph, like the Speedmaster Pro, but then I'm a big chronograph fan. If not a chronograph, then I would add a slightly dressier watch like the OP you posted or a Datejust as others have suggested. Finally, if none of those, then an Explorer 1, although to me the watch function/type may be too similar to your Milgauss.

If it’s about aesthetics i’d look at a blue dial Omega Seamaster 300M Co-Axial. You’ll have black white blue dials to compliment anything you are wearing and 3 tough as nails watches that you can take anywhere.

If complications are what you are after I’d add a Chrono or GMT depending on what you’d use more. I’d look at a Black Bay GMT or Speedmaster.

I like this recommendation. I was going to suggest something that wears a bit smaller and projects a completely different look from the others like a Seamaster Aqua Terra with a blue dial.

DJ41, Fluted, Blue Dial, Jubilee. I think it would give you the most variation in dial, bezel, and bracelet.
