If you think all three of those are categorically considered perfect, then why not buy all three? It's just 1 more than 2.

Which LV are you referring to? (New or Old)

I have the older LV and BLNR ... they are two great watches but I know in the future I will add the 116520 (Black dial) at one point. All three watches are amazing!

Thanks!

I would go with the BLNR and 116520. If you ever have to add a third, you will be able to add the HULK at a later date

All three are good choices, but the blue/black and green might lack some versatility. I'd go Daytona and pair it with whatever you like more.

Option 1, and both of them coming with a complete set makes it even sweeter.

Option 3. Easy. Two best watches also give you greatest variety.

If option 1 then you must change your username.

I think I saw on another thread you mentioned the same thing to another OP.

You have some tough choices here....the BLNR IMO is a must out of these 3 and the race is tight with the LVC and the Daytona....ultimately I'd have to stick with the Daytona + BLNR. Good luck no wrong choices here.

I currently have a BLNR and I want to add a LV first then maybe later down the road a Daytona.

You can't go wrong with your options.

Although I'm not a huge Daytona fan, I do find the BLNR and the LV to be too similar in aesthetic, so I picked the BLNR + Daytona combo just for variety's sake.

2 PCL bracelets though?

This was a tough call but I think I'd go with the Daytona and LVC. Really tough call though, but it's between the BLNR & LVC vs LVC & Daytona.
