After reading the many posts and swapping and changing my collection, I now have three watches in my humble collection:

- AP 15400;
- JLC Grande Reverso Duo; and
- Rolex GMT Master 2.

I am looking to buy a fourth watch and then retire from purchasing for a while so I am looking for a versatile watch to add to the existing collection.

Any thoughts? Preferably looking for a leather strap watch.

I have thought about getting an IWC Automatic Power Reserve but not made my mind up yet.

Any thoughts (changing or adding to the collection) are most welcome!

Thanks!!!

some more color TT Sub C Blue

vitalsignsrn · 14 December 2013, 06:05 AM

Maybe something with a white dial or one made with precious metal?

I'd get a preowned YG day date on a leather strap or a JLC ultra thin moon.

You've got a really nice collection there, each watch is different and is from a different brand. I like it.

How about a chrono?
If I were in your position, I'd get gold to mix it up

luvsub · 14 December 2013, 07:20 AM

I would add a TT, or gold, or green color to the collection. You have beautiful watches already. Nice collection.

Mikegp · 14 December 2013, 07:38 AM

I think a Speedmaster Pro would compliment your collection nicely, and looks awesome on leather.

For a strap and a Rolex I would get a Daytona, a gold one of possible. For IWC I like the 3714.

eamonn345 · 14 December 2013, 07:56 AM

Love the IWC! I am seriously thinking of this!

Great trio!

How about: Yellow gold + chrono + brown leather = Daytona.

If a bracelet:

eamonn345 · 14 December 2013, 08:17 AM

Do love the daytona but I prefer a date !

This would be my choice. You do not have a chrono in your collection.

Great trio!
Do you have any more pics of your JLC?
Good luck on your search!

Ector495 · 14 December 2013, 11:55 AM

I don't know about which new watch to pick. However, my OCD is screaming clean those faces! j/k Go with the IWC.

Since you already have a leather strap JLC I would recommend a green SubC. There has to be room in any collection for a Submariner.

Old Expat Beast · 14 December 2013, 12:44 PM

Trade in the GMT for a vintage sub, then your collection will look more complete, and balanced.

samsam · 14 December 2013, 12:53 PM

I'm surprised you didn't get a Pateck or Sohne recommendation yet. LoL

I know, there are so pricy. I would recommend the IWC, but it's too big for my taste. The Daytonas are beautiful, too.

For a reasonable price, I would add a DJII or an Omega. Or maybe a Cartier (Caliber or SoloXL)

CWIN · 14 December 2013, 12:54 PM

Haha I went through something similar. Purchased many watches but have sold and traded down to three.

AP 15400
JLC Master Calendar
GMTII BLNR

I will also pick up a fourth at some point. The front runners are a hulk, explorer, planet ocean, aqua terra, PAM, or IWC. Too many to choose from. But my fourth won't be coming anytime soon.

If youd like a chrono and a date then the ROC is nice.

eamonn345 · 15 December 2013, 04:27 AM

Lots of chronograph suggestions!

However, not into chronos.

Was thinking of IWC Power Reserve Auto, Master control JLC or the ultra moon thin.

What do you guys think?

Always been a fan if the IWC Big Pilot...Also, you can never go wrong with a Sub.

travisb · 15 December 2013, 04:56 AM

Lots of great strap options from IWC.
I like the RG Daytona on strap as well.
