Either a Sub C date, as that would give you the same rotation I run currently and I love it! Or, I would go with the Yacht Master Blue dial!

Hmmm, tough choices. Maybe the DJ for a dressier watch?

I concur - Fluted, Jubilee'd, Romans on rhodium, nothing better. Wait, that is my exact watch, I'd like to preserve some exclusivity.

Although some of those choices are nice, my advice would be, don't just restrict your thought processes to one brand. You might be missing out on better looking, more interesting and better value for money timepieces. Who knows you might then come back and still decide that one of the above is the right choice and then you will be even happier that you have validated your reasoned decision.

Any Rolex that is NOT green IMO.
How about a bit of blue for your next one?

Are you seriously asking others to pick your second Rolex? If thats the case, don't buy it.

No I'm asking for opinions on which would be a compliment to the Hulk. Thanks to those that responded.

Adding another Sub or GMT are too similar
I think the YM or DJ II Fluted (Blue Stick or Black (dark grey) Roman) |

DJII, smooth bezel, just so you can outdress the Hulk a bit, when you dine out.

Agreed. I have the white Milgauss as my daily wearer. Got a lovely comment on it yesterday; a woman just couldn't stop staring at it! We were talking about it for ages and she said how much she loved the orange lightening bolt second hand. I said it doesn't look like your typical Rolex but she said she thought it did, the bracelet particularly, and spotted it a mile off! I bought a GMT IIc on Saturday, just the usual one not the new blue one. Nice watch, going straight in the safe though for the kids. I only wear the Milgauss which is my favourite of all Rolex models. AM.

I wouldn't add the Sub C because it is the same watch, just a different colour. The GMT also looks too similar. From that list I would get the Explorer II black dial.
