Here she is........
Ms BLNR has arrived and I could not much any happier. I flipped my Daytona as it just got boring and the wrist time was almost zero. The blue is amazing how it changes colors in different light and time of day. I felt I would want to brush the PCL's but after seeing it in person I've changed my mind. The pcl's work too well with the bezel! Love the combo! Think it's time to flip the 114060 as it's too close to the same look. What to do with that? IWC Aquatimer 42mm, Panari 42mm, Explorer 2? Hmmmmm.

I think the Explorer 2 looks more like your BLNR than the Sub does, but that's just me. My suggestion would be to keep the 114060 but if you are going to flip I'd recommend the Daytona. That gives you two great references with complications, GMT and Chrono.

He just said he flipped his Daytona because it didn't get any wrist time.

I'd keep the 114060. No date, dive bezel, no PCLs, glidelock. Well it's different enough for me.

Best answer here, really. I wouldn't mind keeping the 114060 though. I
think it's different enough for me and just too classical awesome.
