Two is a collection....

Two is a reasonable start, or an accident (depending on who you're justifying them to).

Three is a collection.

Four is a problem.

Five is something you only talk to strangers on the internet about. 😁

Suggest the OP start here for ideas:

Now that’s a collection!

I think it’s probably like Martinis- 2 is two many and three is not enough

That's level 17 of collecting - you have so many watches that people are asking questions. Opening a shop means you can say they're all stock and people stop bothering you, but you will end up selling! 😁

I would love a white dial, any recommendations?
If you are after a straightforward white dial without panda sub-dials and things like Snoopy images, here are a couple of LE options:
- "Albino", Italian, ref 3593.20, actually cream coloured dial, clear caseback, rhodium movement, 500 pieces made
- Alaska project, ref 311.32.30.04.001, white dial, chunky looking subdial hands, 1970 pieces made

Another cream colored dial Speedmaster is the Ref. 3575.20.00 which has moon and date subdial at 12, and driven by Cal 1866. They were made around 2000-2005, unlimited production but not a whole lot made. It came with blue Broad Arrow hands and white gold tachy bezel.

Cream, not white, dialled Speedmasters are very attractive but Omega didn't use this color very often. Worth investigating for a collection.

I have these but want to think about the next one.
Wow!

As far as I can tell, you're missing the beautiful Rose Gold one...

A rose gold one and a white gold one, too. That would make a beautiful trifecta.

I have zero. 😀

Mind you I had this for 15 years but I got rid of it.... got the Seamaster I really wanted, instead.
