I'd drop the OP's, get a Polar and and DateJust of choice and call it a day.

Get rid of the OPs.

Then add:

Polar on Orange Rubber
Yellow Gold GMT on Jubilee (or dump TT Bluesy and go full YG Bluesy)
Day Date of your choosing
Air King

Maybe some real estate investments if you don’t already have any?

Great collection you have here. If it were me, I would...

1). Daytona (white dial)
2). Sky Dweller (blue or green on jubilee)
3). Explorer II (polar)

In no particular order. I would likely lose one of the OPs to allow for something different. I like complications, so OPs and DJs don't do it for me.

Thank you all for chiming in!

I’m thinking I’m gonna add the wife a new piece or two soon (probably a datejust and new op) explorer in 36 mm and Panda Daytona within the next two years.

For my 40th in a few years, I’m going to get a real heavy hitter, possibly a full gold DD or full gold Daytona with green dial.

Once I do that, I feel like my Rolex collection will basically be complete but hopefully I’ll continue to progress in my career and will proceed to collecting PP, AP and VC. Right now, those still seem a bit out of reach but ten years ago, so was Rolex.

Time will tell.

For my 40th, I got the blue dial Sky Dweller on oyster before they came out with the jubilee. I feel like my Rolex journey is nearing its end as well. The only thing I'm missing is a PM model, which I plan on rectifying with an older Day Date in 36mm for my wife. She doesn't wear watches much so I just resize whatever she's not wearing.

I have an AP chrono already and would love to get into PP and VC, but I've only got 2 wrists and more watches to wear a different one every day of the week. I think my wife would also appreciate the raise.

I think a Daytona would look great in that collection …

Nice Collection. I would add a Day Date to that collection or something else gold from another marque (AP, Cartier, JLC etc)

This! Oh, and maybe get rid of one OP, not both. Such a great GADA watch!

How about just a different dial colour, irrespective of the model?
Is that a 34mm OP?
Its a 41mm and a 31mm (wife's). I let her rent space in the watch box... ha ha
