Next Acquisition?
I'm closing in on having the funds for my next watch with my current collection consisting of the following:
Rolex Explorer Nomos Club Datum Tudor Black Bay  There are 3 watches on my list that I'd like to have that fit my requirements of having no complications, no PCL's, no precious metals and an uncluttered dial. They are the 39mm OP with blue dial, the new Air King, and, a bit of a curveball here, the 38mm Nomos Tangente. Obviously they are at 3 different price points and styles. My initial inclination has been to get the OP first to add some color to the collection but that's not set in stone. Tha Air King has been growing on me more and more in recent months and looks great on the wrist. Is it too similar to the Explorer? And I have really been smitten with what Nomos has to offer. I already own the Club and would love to have a Tangente as well. Considering all of the above, what are your thoughts about which one should be next.

The OP fits your "uncluttered" dial description better than the AK.
Don't get wrong though, I like the AK, and ery different to anything you have

Add some color, a blue dial watch would be a good addition (don't know if necessarily the OP, though.)

Tough choice. If OP, I'd get the grape dial. The AK is nice as well. I'd probably go with the AK.

Air King is too similar to your Explorer, Angelo. I voted OP blue.

Not a big fan of the AK dial but the OP blue stick dial is really nice that would be my pick good luck with the hunt Angelo that's half the fun
PS you already have a black dial Rolex go for the blue!

New AK looks too much like your Explorer so I'd go with OP

OP39 blue. Just saw in person for first time a few weeks ago, and pretty awesome. Understated blue works well w the brushed bracelet . Pictures just don't it justice. It's on my shortlist .

New AK for sure. It's a very different watch from the Explorer - much more sporty, thicker and unRolex, if you know what I mean. I've had the AK for 10 months now and I don't miss my 214270 a bit. Highly recommended.

I second this question. Determining why makes determining what so much easier. Otherwise, I'll just suggest this killer dial:

With regards to the above questions, it's a long story which I won't delve into here except to say that I started my collection much later than most, and would like to leave each of my three boys a comparable watch when I'm gone. That's the simple answer.
