Deciding on the next purchase

Absolutely gorgeous collection!

You already have tool watches and Rolex and Omega covered.  Variety is the spice of life.  Thus, you must go with the Santos de Cartier!

That was really my first option! But today I went to my AD and that Globemaster grew on me when I tried on the wrist. I haven’t had the chance to look the Datejust, but they told me it’s very possible to get one within 1-2 months.

I think I would go with the constellation.  It adds a dressier watch with a pop of gold.  All three are winners, but I think that would compliment your collection well IMHO.

You can get the DJ at retail??? Well, then the answer is absolutely obvious! 
 

• Buy the Datejust at retail
• Sell the Datejust on Chrono24 for whatever ridiculous premium some rando “flex bro” will pay for it so that he can do wrist shots next to his (invariably M car or AMG) steering wheel to post to Instagram
• Use that profit to go toward the Constellation

It‘s a win-win-win situation! You get the absolutely gorgeous and mechanically superior Constellation. Flex bro gets to be a meathead on Instagram. Both Rolex and Omega ADs get your business!

Agree, that watch is really growing on me since I tried on!

Hahaha yes, the DJ would be at retail. The thing is even tho I care about a potential re-sale value, I’m not a flipper and i think that’s what allows me to get that watch. I have a great relationship with my AD and I wouldn’t lost their trust your for a quick profit on one watch.

Welcome! Awesome collection - I would have to say the Speedmaster, but I'd be one of the people that are looking for the 44 mm versions 👍

Cartier Santos cos i want one too and it adds variety to your collection!

Very nice collection Speed master is a grail watch,  if I had to choose the next purchase of the 3...  it would be Cartier Santos Medium Size hands down. Classy 

This but get the Cartier instead. 

cartier santos is a clear winner. and I’m biased. 😝

did I see retail price for DJ?! How?!!! Teach me how to buy a Rolex at retail??! I need a manual !!! 

Hahaha I think everything comes back to build trust and a good relationship with an AD. How? Getting to know well the sales staff (at least 1 of them) by talking watches and showing your knowledge, passing-by every time you wanna check a specific watch, be a client (buy at least 1 watch from another brand before) and prove you are not interest in only money (by buying an unpopular model/brand as my planet ocean).

yes I do have an AD (actually a couple) but they aren’t budging. Maybe it is the city I am in - Hong Kong. These ADs are flipping rampantly themselves, and shipping overseas. 🥲

I feel it must be because of the Market in are in. I just ordered two DJ at retail, one of them is the Green Motif. it will be few months wait, and I had to put down 50%. But I do not have previous relationship with the AD. 

I would get a g shock or an f91w for times when wearing an expensive watch isnt a good idea.

Out of the ones you selected,id go with santos

I had an Omega Speedmaster "moon" watch in 1969 that required winding every day. I wore it for about 10 years and threw it in the rubbish bin when it rusted inside. I've regretted not having had it cleaned and kept it ever since.

Damn good collection man!

Go for the Cartier!

Out of the 3 the Cartier. I mean, you need some variety, so something square or angular for sure.

You should definitely pick Santos as it will spice up your collection in terms of variety. 

Cartier, no contest. For such a high-profile brand, iconic design, including a great bracelet and strap with easy change and unique easy link adjustment -- I don't know why its price hasn't slowly crept higher. Wouldn't be surprised if it does soon.

What a great collection! Spice it up with the Cartier!

I agree with the Cartier, but I may be biased since the last watch I added to my collection was a Santos De Cartier.

Yep, thinking a lot on adding that Santos. By the way, how has been your experience with the Santos so far?

The Santos De Cartier is a fantastic watch - I'm extremely pleased I decided to buy it. The Smartlink and QuickSwitch features are amazing, the fit and finish is superb, and it keeps time well within COSC specs. The fact that it's so thin, and has a curved shape that hugs the wrist makes it an absolute pleasure to wear. Plus, I think it's an absolutely gorgeous looking watch, in any of it's variants.

I don't have a Cartier AD anywhere near me, so I wasn't sure whether the medium or the large would be best for my 17cm (6.75")  wrists.  One of the members of our local watch enthusiast group recently bought the black dial WSSA0037 large version, and was nice enough to allow me to try it on. I instantly knew that I wanted that exact same model for myself, even though I had been leaning towards the blue dial version. From the photos and videos I've seen, the bezel on the full SS models seems to be a real scratch magnet, and I'm hoping the ADLC coated bezel on mine will help to keep it looking better longer. I also thought that the black dial version was a bit more versatile, since I feel it can look a bit more on the sporty side, while still being able to be used as a dressy watch.

I'm still trying to decide if I prefer it on the bracelet or on the strap. I think I slightly prefer the look of it on the bracelet, but since it lacks a micro adjust, I find the rubber strap a bit more comfortable. The quick switch system works extremely well, so swapping between them literally takes 5 seconds.

Wow!! Great to read that you are really pleased and happy with the watch!! Enjoy it! And between bracelet or strap, I’ll go with the first one, but you have to have the perfect fit though.

All good picks. I’d lean toward the Globemaster, which I think is Omega’s hidden gem.
