Horological Meandering

Now that SIHH and GTE is over, let's get back to business around here and do some horological meandering. 

So I have reached the point where my once cavernous watch box with 12 watch slots is nearly full. I have 6 pieces that are dressier by nature and 5 pieces (shown below) that lean to the sportier side.

So I have been thinking about what I might add. Now before you burst my bubble about just buying another watch box, humor me. I have been thinking about adding a new watch that adds something to my collection. Meaning either aesthetically or functionally. I have been considering adding a blue dialed watch. Two have caught my eye: one a classic luxury sports watch and the other a handsome chronograph.

 

Another watch that has caught my eye is tool watch that has a case of hardened titanium and some novel chronograph display reminiscent of a Lemania 5100.

A novel GMT function might prove useful. I had considered an Explorer II but the unusual nature and practicality of this module and a less recognizable watch is attractive to me, particularly when traveling.

The AP is most similar to my BP as a watch albeit a distinct style and color. Both the Breitling and Sinn are most similar to the IWC but differ in dial layout/registers, dial color or case material. The UN is a unique piece from the current crop and silver with blue registers might fill the bill.

So what do you think about these watches as additions for my collection? Which one of these rounds out the box best in your view. There is a huge range in price between them, but I 'd ask that you not consider that for the moment. There of course is no "right" answer, I am just curious to hear others opinions and thinking.

Thanks,

Bob
