Greetings -

I'm not a collector, and buy my watches for personal reasons. I recently bought a new DJ 41 White Stick, smooth bezel, Oyster from an AD, and while I like it, I don't love it. It's not the watch's fault - it was a bit of an impulse buy at the time (Fall '23).

My current watches, all bought new through ADs, include a 1981 36mm DJ TT, black stick dial, fluted bezel, Jubilee (recently Rolex serviced and a watch I'll own forever), BB58 Black Dial (black dial) and the DJ 41. They give me 3 case sizes - 36/39/41 along with 3 different looks, and seem to complement each other well.

What is bothering me a bit, I guess, is that I'm a bit frustrated that I didn't take more time to consider buying a pre-owned watch instead of making the impulse Rolex purchase.

If I decide to replace the DJ41 I'd like to replace it with a non-Rolex watch. What would you suggest?
