Hello members, your advice is appreciated for my next purchase. Looking at my current Rolex pieces, which are ALL keepers, which of these 2 do you think would best round out the collection?

Datejust 36, Blue dial, Fluted on Oyster with PCL, OR the

Speedy Pro Hesalite 1861, that I'll wear mostly on an aftermarket leather strap

I understand they are completely different. I have always wanted both watches, each for various reasons, so it's really a no lose situation for me. In the end, one day, I'll probably wind up with both, but that's no guarantee, so if you could only add one more, which would it be?

Speedy pro. I value diversity in a collection. That said, get the speedy if you like it. Many bring the collector mindset and that's simply accumulate and then what happens is one gets bored and flips/trades, as folks are really chasing the dopamine hit. I prefer a meaning based collection, a smaller collection of pieces that are meaningful in some way, have a story behind the purchase, etc. The others really never stick.

Beo3 · 25 January 2022, 05:57 AM

Speedy. You need a chronograph in that collection (which is beautiful too)

dpt.calvin · 25 January 2022, 06:06 AM

Speedy.

amphr1 · 25 January 2022, 06:12 AM

Speedy. But I would keep the bracelet if it was me.

AF_Rob · 25 January 2022, 06:27 AM

DJ, for me.

I have a Speedy and I rarely wear it. So, I have a negative bias.

Why not ? I was thinking on getting one in the future.

It's kind of a toss up. If you were to put the DJ on a jubilee, then that by a lot. I don't think the oyster/fluted combo works all that well on a 36.

henrylee · 25 January 2022, 07:01 AM

Both but I wear my datejust more than the speedy.

Probably the size. I usually wear my 34mm OP. At 42mm, it’s the largest piece I have.

brandrea · 25 January 2022, 07:23 AM

I’d add the chronograph

Easy E · 25 January 2022, 07:56 AM

+1 for the Speedy

HogwldFLTR · 25 January 2022, 08:01 AM

DJ for me as it's got better WR.

BobtheViking · 25 January 2022, 08:05 AM

Speedy, everyone should have one and the bracelet is very comfortable

I’m the same. Well, was the same. Tried several Speedies and none of them stuck around for more than a few months. It’s just not the watch for me.

To the OP: If you love the Speedy, I think it adds the most variety to your collection between the two options you’ve listed. That said, if it were me I’d be going after the DJ.

BTW: Really nice collection. And that Everest case looks great . They go great together.

speedy

huncho · 25 January 2022, 08:26 AM

datejust

Rolexfan23 · 25 January 2022, 08:44 AM

Date just cause I’m not an omega fan.

lig · 25 January 2022, 08:53 AM

I’d get the Speedmaster for sure. No interest in the DJ.

NachoNeal · 25 January 2022, 08:54 AM

If you're a chrono guy, get the speedy. I'm not, so I would get the DJ.

bmrk · 25 January 2022, 09:27 AM

Speedmaster for sure

Zuger · 25 January 2022, 10:03 AM

Speedy since you already have a 36mm Explorer

rmlovett1 · 25 January 2022, 10:08 AM

I’d go chronograph

Oyster Sauce · 25 January 2022, 10:28 AM

Easy…Speedy

shaunylw · 25 January 2022, 10:59 AM

I think any watch collector should have a speedy at some point. They are really great.

noshame · 25 January 2022, 11:06 AM

Wow, thank you for all the replies and votes so far. I knew it would be close, but not this close.

So far it's DJ36 = 40 votes and Speedy = 41 votes!

Wanted to mention a few more things ...
-WR is not a factor
-Speedy in question is the Hesalite 1861, on bracelet, but will be worn mostly on aftermarket leather straps

Feb_29 · 25 January 2022, 11:06 AM

IMO, fluted should be on Jubilee. It doesn't pare good with Oyster.

Roli4life · 25 January 2022, 11:06 AM

DJ. The speedy is for more shoppers.

arcampado · 25 January 2022, 11:15 AM

Speedy. It’s such an awesome watch and a chronograph would compliment your collection nicely
