This is a picture of my current watches. I am in the market for a new watch. I have no plans on selling any of my currently owned ones. I am just wondering what you WIS feel I should add next. Budget is 10K. I am not oppose to diversifying my brand collection either.

I'd get rid of the IWC- it doesn't match!

Looks like you could use a chronograph to diversify your complications a bit. If you want to beef up your IWC collection, I've always loved the Portuguese Chronograph. A JLC Reverso would work nicely with that collection as well.

I'm a big proponent of adding watches that do something your other pieces can't.

You might need a Panerai, if I may humbly suggest, a Radiomir or Luminor.

Or the Omega Speedmaster.

10k? There's probably 1,786,400 different choices out there. Can you narrow it down a bit? Btw, nice collection!

You could source a jubilee bracelet for the GMT to switch things up a bit.

If I stick with Rolex I like the SD or TT GMT. If I spread out I've looked at the JLC Master Calendar ref. 1558420 or the LUMINOR MARINA 1950 3 DAYS AUTOMATIC.

So I see 2 Dive, 1 Dress, 1 GMT..... I think you need a chrono! SS Daytona or THC and something else.

While the Daytona seems like the natural addition, you won't be finding one NIB within your $10k budget. I think you might want to look at the one of the Tudor chronos, or go for something a little different, like the Omega Speedmaster Dark Side of the Moon.

I think an Explorer, 39 mm would slide in there nicely.

Expand your horizons. There is more out there. Enjoy figuring out what to get! Breitling, Omega, Zenith, etc...go into a dealer that has the most diverse pieces and start trying them on.
