I think I am a three watch collection guy. Explorer is here to stay, not 100% sure about the BB58 and the Max Bill. What would you suggest good alternatives for these two?

That is certainly a FINE three watch collection!
Am beginning to come to the realization that a smaller collection of watches actually might be better overall, than a larger collection where most of the pieces end up not getting worn (much) ...
Great collection. If I were to change it up, it would be for a diver with some color.
Nomos for the Junghans. Omega Seamaster 300 Heritage for the Bb.
Great collection! I second what @SpecKTator said.
Grand Seiko SBGX and Pelagos 39.
Get rid of the Bland Bay & replace it with one of these.

I agree with the smaller collection thought.
Great collection. Maybe trade one for a chronograph? Zenith?
Longines Heritage Classic for the Max Bill
Omega Seamaster 300 for the BB58
Yema Superman Heritage.
Sounds like you have that junkie itch again!😂We all so from time to time, pun intended!
Really nice collection. As Savage61 mentioned, I too really need to adjust my thinking and consider paring down my collection.
That is a brilliant 3 watch collection, well balanced. But I think you need a complication watch, such as a chronograph like the Omega Speedmaster, or a more affordable Frederique Constant flyback chronograph for 5,000. Or you could go with a dive watch, like the Blancpain Fifty Fathoms, Longines Hydroconquest or an Omega Seamaster 300M
Grand Seiko SBGX and Pelagos 39.
I'm obsessed with the SBGX line. Absolutely need it!
We’ll done sticking with a the Explorer. Skip the BB you already have the real thing. I’d go with a Aqua Terra in blue or green and maybe a Sinn 104 in white. You get some color and a lot of options.
Seems completely balanced to me. 👍
Switch your BB58 to a blue dial and add an Aqua Terra or Formex Essence if the funds don't stretch.
Swap max bill for a Blue and White Reverso
And the Bb58 for a Liquid metal planet ocean
Keep the BB58. It is a killer watch.
Not a fan of the junghans: lot of other options like santos, tank, nomos, grand seiko
I agree with the smaller collection thought.
I like a large collection. That way, I have 16 different brands, 6 different colors and three different movement types.
exchange the Max Bill for a Zenith Chronograph the new reverse Panda and the BB for a Submariner no date :) ( If I had the cash that’s what I would do ) Happy agonising with youe first world problems 😂
Great collection. Maybe trade one for a chronograph? Zenith?
What I said
I do recognize some of my ideas for 3 watches in your collection.
Kuoe Old Smith 002, Farer Erebus II, Maen Hudson GMT
I believe he is quietly saying he needs two more watches to match a Rolex , your choices are lower tier nice watches no argument! But no….. ? Tell me to mind my own bees wax no problem 😌 just I read between the lines.
Nomos Orion as an alternative for Junghans. I love the BB58 but an alternative could be the Pelagos or Omega Seamaster 300
Ok, there are plenty of options…but sincerely I wouldn’t change anything… amazing collation… I only would make sure to have the proper watch strap material alternatives ( steel for the explorer and BB58 and also rubber for the BB58)
So you're keeping the Explorer. 👍
I say sell the Max Bill (the Explorer on leather makes a great formal watch anyway) and take your significant other for a weekend break.
Then think about selling the BB58 but don't actually do it. You have the perfect TWO watch collection with the promise of a swap-out in the future.
Nice 3 watch though I think 5 or 6 would be the perfect number for a collection. I’d keep the 58 and like some have suggested a Grand Seiko for the Junghans.
It really depends on where your tastes lie.
Maybe replace the BB58 with a blue diver? If you’re not looking to keep a diver in the collection, maybe it’s time for a chronograph?
The Max Bill (and Junghans in general) offers something pretty unique as a true bauhauss-designed watch. I couldn’t really recommend anything better (specifically) for what it is, but there are a lot of options in the dressy/elegant watch arena right now. If you’re looking for something functionally designed, you could also take a look into field watches.
I replace the Junghans for a Omega and you set for life!
Nice collection. If it were me? I’d swap the Max Bill for a chronograph and keep the BB58.
