Wow!! The new 5524R!
What do you think?!

Anyone else a maxi case convert?
For the longest time, I couldn't get on board with the 6-digit maxi cases. I thought the lugs were too thick and the crown guards were too large. But that opinion was based mainly on pictures, and the handful of times I tried on maxi cases at an AD. Because of that outlook, my first two Rolex watches were the 14060M and 16710 (which are absolutely great).But that all changed about 3-4 weeks ago when I picked up a BLNR. Despite the maxi case, I couldn't resist the beautiful bezel and figured if I couldn't get used to the maxi case, the BLNR would be easy to sell. Now that I've had a few weeks of wrist time with the maxi case, it doesn't bother me one bit and I actually really like it. The difference in lug thickness between the cases seems much larger in pictures than it does in real life. Anyone else here start out opposed to the maxi cases and now your opinion has changed?

Trade in for a dress watch
So, lately my watch collection has become very slanted toward “tool watches”, especially with a 50 fathoms mil-spec on the way. I really don’t have something to wear for dressier occasions and I’ve fallen out of love with my IWC. I’m not a giant DJ or DD fan. And I prefer to keep it under 40mm.I was thinking of trading in my IWC Portuguese and FOIS (plus cash) for one of the below:1. YM 116621 brown dial2. Vacheron patrimomy traditionnelle3. H. moser center seconds with a funky blue dial.4. Lange Saxonia ultra-thin 37mm I know a YM isn’t technically a “dress watch”, but I feel with TT and a slim design, it can wear as a dressy watch.

State of the Collection....and what to do next
Hello everyone, just wanted some input about where to go with my collection. Also willing to accept some constructive criticism on the watches I have and where maybe the collection can be tightened up. I just seriously started being able to afford nice watches, and want to avoid (any other..?) mistakes.1. Ceramic Submariner LV...absolutely love this watch, bought as a reward after 1 year of my own Business. Best bracelet in the business, pretty much spoiled all other bracelets for me. Bought from a trusted seller here.2. Speedy Pro Hesalite....Got it on the leather band (see above about bracelets), first chrono, lots of history, bought after learning my way around. No sentimental significance. Newest addition, still honeymoon. Bought from a major gray seller.3. Breitling SuperOcean II 42.....Love the blue sunburst dial, bought to wear at my wedding, great construction movement feels much nicer than other modified ETA movements (not pictured a TAG Aquaracer with some sentimental value I
