All on Tropical watches current list

[Krash]

Submariner
DJ, fluted bezel and Jubilee

I’d prefer the Speedmaster Pro Sapphire Sandwich, but I don’t think it fits in the budget, so I went with the Seamaster instead.

Seems like a solid plan. A 5 digit sub would also work.

I’d bump the budget up a wee bit and go with a fluted bezel on the DJ for a more dressy alternative.

Whether or not you take my suggestion, still a solid collection either way!

So I have a 124060 and am waiting on a DJ41 126300. I think they will work well together.

[cdmorenot]

I'd go Sub Date

Funny, this is almost exactly my plan as well, only difference being I want the DJ41 blue dial smooth bezel on jubilee bracelet. I have the Sub, and previously had a hesalite speedy. I always said if I get one again it would be the sapphire sandwich. This, plus 2-3 beaters (Seiko divers, etc) are in my opinion, a really great collection.

I'd probably go:

Beater: Apple watch
Daily/Office: BLRO Jubilee
Weekend/Special Occasions: Daytona

These are my thoughts as well!

1. Daytona 116500 white dial
2. Tudor BB54
3. Movado M95 (maybe gold), or vintage Zenith chrono in gold, something vintage, dress, $5000 range

This but change the DJ41 to fluted with jubilee. Otherwise it’s too similar to Sub and you’ll just wear the sub.

for some reason just not a fluted jubilee guy. too blingy for me.

[mgsooner]

This is what I'm heading towards:

Sub 114060
Datejust 126234 (fluted, jubilee, silver)
Speedmaster Pro Tokyo Olympics (reverse blue panda dial) - will source this at some point in the next couple of years

I'll have more than three but those three would cover pretty much all bases for me.

[JRell]

Sub, OP41 green, blrn on jubilee.

[cblock406]

That would be a solid 3 watch collection IMO. I'd also want fluted/jubilee though.

Might want to throw in some color!

The Explorer is a fantastic choice as well.

Felt the same way.

Brian, what are your thoughts on dials other than black?

I love any color dial ... as long as they're black

Seriously though, I've tried other colors over the years, and for some reason I always gravitate toward black. I guess its classic and timeless (to me).

If the OP wants to add color, I'd maybe do that via a bezel such as the BLRO. Just my

Interesting perspective, Brian. I am currently in the market for a DJ. I've been constantly switching between bright blue and white dials.

I will say I don’t feel comfortable with light dials. Perhaps they are too bright for me. I feel so much more comfortable with a black dial. I thought I’d ask because I know your three are all black.
