Yikes, why the rolex hate??? Keep the rolex for casual wear, and the seamaster for suit and tie. I'd put a more formal strap on the constellation and wear for dress. You need a diver. Depending upon what you want to spend, a sub, seamaster diver, or a seiko diver would be nice. For a beater a g shock or a casio 91F.

I wanted to get a Rolex but the new ones are ugly 70s shit, and the older ones you can't get parts for any more.

So to heck with Rolex!

I would ditch the Rolex

Everyone has different tastes. Actually my all time favorite watch is the tried and true two-tone datejust, plastic, non-quick with gold stepped dial and jubilee.

Beautiful Constellation... really stunning dial.

Back to your question... your collection needs some solid sport models.
I would add one or two of these, depending on whether you move the Datejust.

1. Omega Speedmaster Professional
2. Rolex Submariner no date
3. Rolex GMT
4. Breitling Navitimer Montbrillant
5. Tag Heuer Monaco

Indeed and it’s better that way, otherwise we would all be chasing the same dammed watch. As for “Rolex Hate”; no not from my side at least. If I were to go down that rabbit hole then the following would be on my radar: -
1655 Explorer II
16264 Turn-O-Graph
1530 Oyster Perpetual Date (step dial)
1680 Submariner Date

anyway back to the original title “2 Omegas for 1 Rolex” then yes I would still “respectfully divest” the Two-tone DJ and look for the two Omegas I mentioned previously (one of which I already have).

I try to avoid other people’s urine as much as possible- and I sure don’t want my watch soaking in it.

Had a chat with a park district head of maintenance last winter. “Never go into a public pool”. he said.

Also, never go into the kitchen of a resturaunt you enjoy.
