Thanks for your feedback on the SD 50th Anniversary, my friend, and for your kind words, too.
I agree on the 16520. And will probably add a black dialed one. In the Neo vintage world, A nice 16750 / 16760 is in my list, as well as a 16700 / 16710. Explorers? I am looking for a 16550 Black Rail Dial, but finding one in great condition is more challenging than finding a cream sibling.
In the vintage, an Explorer 6350 with a hobnail dial, a 1675 Underline / SyL, and a Double Red SD are my priorities.
You see, it never ends...
And I didn't mention the vintage Tudor I am hunting, too! 
All the best,
Nicolas

My collection of modern Rolex, and my projects.
By modern I mean from the 90's to nowadays, the Rolex before the 90's are neo vintage for me. So, what do I have? The Daytona 16520: The Explorer II 16570: The Yacht Master 16222: The Milgauss 116400 GV: And the Air King 2016 Edition, the 116 900: The fun...
hehe Nico...there is no end to this ;-)
i haven't seen the new daytona white yet - which is better (+my preference) than black when i see in pictures..... but i happened to see the daytona black in metal - it is gorgeous, my idea of it changed completely ! sad i couldn't see both next to each o...
Your choices are very well thought out and tell a great story
I like how you have chosen some of the less predictable pieces to complement your vintage collection. The pictures of your Yacht-Master, especially with your grey sweater make me miss mine. One of very few decisions I regret when trading watches. I think ...
+1
Nico you have an imppccable collection of Rolex. Each is a testament of design ingenuity and unique flair.
It is just my unknowledgeable person opinion.
They are characteristically so eclectic.
I think you will like this piece a lot
Knowing how much you love the explorer ii - it actually has similar proportions. Wider of coures, but relatively a similar proportion thinness. And adds diver for you, that’s not a sub. You may like this one so much it will be your choice instead of a mod...
I'v got both the Daytona's here, if you want I take a picture of them next to the 587,
the size difference is huge!
Nice watches. Like them all.
I agree. 116500 is a must. I tried the seadweller 50th at a Rolex event and it felt too big. Hope it works on your wrist. Would prefer the batman to all black or pepsi version. Good luck with the journey. Cheers S
Maybe you can see the Cameron on the 18th if you have the time..
We are thinking about driving Friday to Paris and on Saturday further to the Cote d'azur..
I would come If you have time, we can arrive around 20:00H,
We would take a hotel intercity then, We can eat together??
ok, when you tell me, I'll book a hotel for one night, normally I would drive on Saturday, but now I am
curious the meet the modern day Vlad Dracula from Paris
What an interesting and well thought out group of modern Rolexes. Very nice
I happened to pick up a modern Rolex myself this week while in Rome that was very interesting to me. I'll post about it soon.
Any thoughts on Ref. 216570 'Polar'? I bet it would be on your project bucket if it were 40mm.
Such a great iteration, in my opinion, with only fault being a victim of large size update addiction...
I think, the first version of the GMT is the most beautiful, my only regret is not having bought it 8 years ago when the prices were good
The Daytona is cool too so just buy them all...
The funny thing is that at different points in time..
..I have been in love with all your existing ones. All apart from the Air King. It js a very special group you have my friend. When it comes to new acquisitions, mine would be: - GMT this year’s rootbeer or whatever it is called - Milgauss GV, black dial ...
Very nice collection, as expected
Definitely the new Daytona would sit nicely in it. Of the current GMT Masters, the Batman is my favorite. But I suspect that the new Pepsi / Jubilee will be awesome, so worth waiting for. Plus you don't have any modern Rolex on Jubilee, perhaps that's the...
An eclectic collection of modern rolex my friend😊...
Good reasons for your choices. The Daytona 116500 is must have. A 116520 will do for me too. As for the GMTM, I have handled the blue/black but somehow, there is not much "feel' so it remains a KIV for me. While I did not find the 126710 BLRO to be a big ...
Very nice collection.
I’m not a big Daytona fan, but I like that white dialed version a lot.
Love your present collection of modern Rolex my friend! And also like the plans for expansions you have made. As a suggestion I may add...
... A 114060 no date Sub which in my view is the link between the classic and the modern line of ceramic watches and the one which keeps the spirit of the originals. Let' s see what you finally decide my dear Nicolas!, Un abrazo mi amigo! Abel
Ahh yes! The new SD red 50 annyversary is an awesome watch indeed. It has lost a bit of its balanced look of the previous model with the addition...
... Of just 2 mm diameter in my opinion, but the red touch on dial is a delicious detail though and the watch is beautifuly made. But the Ceramic no date Sub is a so charming model among the modern ceramic Submarine line which I insist to consider and at ...
Interesting thoughts on your collection!
For me, get the 116500 and the 116710 BLNR and the game is basically over. I’m a big fan of the Air King 116900, which put a big smile on my face whenever I checked out the time.
It’s very interesting...
although I am not a fan of the modern bezels I do like the “Batman” it’s special.
you have a great collection !
I m a sucker for the 16520 because it is such an easy and comfortable watch. It is nice to see that you follow your own mind on the references and not be taken by all the hype around one specific model. The SD50 is nice but also quite big on the wrist. It...
Thanks for your feedback on the SD 50th Anniversary, my friend, and for your kind words, too.
I agree on the 16520. And will probably add a black dialed one. In the Neo vintage world, A nice 16750 / 16760 is in my list, as well as a 16700 / 16710. Explorers? I am looking for a 16550 Black Rail Dial, but finding one in great condition is more chall...
I will have to put an end to that, for my mental health. Or in the perspective of a reconsideration of my collection.
For example, letting several go to get a 6200.
I definitely like your collection!
I would definitely add the following in due time: 1. GMT2c Black Bezel - the first and the original, superseded by BLNR Batman and soon by BLRO Pepsi but who cares. 2. Daytona C White or Black Dial - everyone should have one of these two. If one were to l...
