The famous question...

My new wolf case is 1 watch shy of having 5 :) ... and that creates a problem

What suggestions do you have for my next watch? I am thinking either the DJ41 or a Daytona - leaning more towards the daytona...

Here is my current collection with the newly arrived wolf case (great quality / packaging for the $$)

Thinking 116520 white dial

I would say Daytona in white. But you have that covered, so I say Daytona in black or Dj 41 in blue or rhodium.

I agree. Solid or two-tone for collection diversity.

I absolutely love datejust41 with dial, batons, fluted bezel. But ceramic Daytona c is pretty close to perfect too, if you can get it. Maybe sell a Pam to make room for more rollies? Sorry just my tastes!

Also to "round out" collection, how about dj41 and speedy pro?

If you haven't got the gold bug yet, I'd recommend you try at least a two-tone. I used to be an all stainless guy until I tried on my first two-tone. Now my next will be a 16618. IF the gold bug never bites you, try a rectangular watch; like a reverso or a tank. Get something super dressy for special occasions that you normally wouldn't wear but love just for when the time is right.

Two tone DJ41 or Rhodium Yatchmaster if gold isn't your fancy.

I would consider adding some color variety. Maybe something green (Sub LVc?) or blue (Pelagos?). If you're set on a Daytona, would you consider precious metal? The white gold and yellow gold models in Oysterflex are beautiful...

I think you might have done your math incorrectly...

Your current collection 4 (great pieces btw)

One empty spot in the watch box +1

One empty spot on your wrist +1

You really need two watches...make way for the DJ41 and Daytona

Daytona would fit in nicely or maybe a Sub?

I like the Daytona idea...but I might flip one of the PAM's for a sub as well. Maybe the white dial one, esp. if you're going to get a white 116520?

BEST answer so far -- I like the way you reason, you're hired!

Talk about thinking 'OUTSIDE THE BOX'

Had 6 digit sub -- and now I think feel / look is too close to the GMT (outside of bezel)...so want to switch it up a bit...
