A daytona was going to be my suggestion as well.

CWIN · 8 January 2014, 03:49 AM

I would probably explore another brand. If you're going to stick with Rolex, my choice would be a daytona to add to that pair.

thsiao · 8 January 2014, 03:51 AM

Or white face Exp II.

beshannon · 8 January 2014, 03:54 AM

Perhaps go out and look at some watches and put together a short list?

vitalsignsrn · 8 January 2014, 03:56 AM

I was going to suggest a white dial Exp.II as well. A white dial Daytona is nice, but is also pricey for a SS version. I would still go try it on. LOL

sgmgolf · 8 January 2014, 03:58 AM

My vote would be to add a GMT.....good luck with your search!

vitalsignsrn · 8 January 2014, 04:00 AM

Just saw that pic of Jocke's yahtmaster and is super nice. That in silver or blue might be an option. Also…maybe a DJ II if opposite than the DJ you have might be an option too. I have one with jubilee, white dial and fluted bezel. I would like one with smooth bezel, blue dial with sticks and oyster bracelet. So…perhaps a DJII might work out..;-)

shirtguy · 8 January 2014, 04:02 AM

daytona is pricey

shirtguy · 8 January 2014, 04:02 AM

why no explorer 1 suggestions?

Outside Rolex, for a white dial how about a VC Overseas, a used one costs less than a Daytona and they are tremendous value for an HH piece.

Fiery · 8 January 2014, 06:49 AM

Milgauss

shirtguy · 8 January 2014, 08:03 AM

gmt in black and blue looks nice bust isn't it too similar to the sub c looks wise?

SLS · 8 January 2014, 08:47 AM

16710 Red/Blue GMT or maybe a Speedmaster Pro...every collection has to have a Speedy!

kilyung · 8 January 2014, 09:21 AM

Another brand like JLC?

Mystro · 8 January 2014, 09:22 AM

Curious why you feel you need another watch? Perhaps the Rolex isnt doing it for you and you need to look at another brand that does. Just a voice of reason.

HL65 · 8 January 2014, 10:46 AM

Go to AD and look at some and get a feel for what you like then make educated decision...Cheers,

Miamipawnsab · 8 January 2014, 11:59 AM

I agree, most collector sites are never good at promoting self control. I recently acquired a pair of new Rolex's, a SubC 114060 and a DJII 116334. In your case of your sons, I can understand wanting another. I OTOH feel that I am pretty well covered with my 2. An Explorer II would be a nice choice to pass on to a younger generation or GMT.

shirtguy · 10 January 2014, 01:14 AM

I have 3 sons so id like each to inherit a rolex.

DJII is the DJ but bigger. The BLNR does not look anything like the SubC and that's my suggestion.

watchwatcher · 10 January 2014, 03:07 AM

Sounds like a YM I/II or an EXP I/II would fit the bill nicely for you...happy hunting!

shirtguy · 10 January 2014, 03:08 AM

want to keep the cost under 10k

Floorguy · 10 January 2014, 03:10 AM

Explorer II polar would be nice!

willski · 10 January 2014, 03:14 AM

I have a sub 5513 and a BLNR. They are different enough to have their own character (although new sub c is a bit more similar to gmt ii).

Since Daytona is out of the running personally I'd go with either a DJ2 (turning into a big fan these days) or an Explorer I. DJ2 looks awesome in the various combinations, and the Explorer I had a 'ruggedness smartness' about it.

Another option would be the Milgauss GV or black dial which is a bit more funky. Explorer II doesn't look great on me so not a personal recommendation but it does have plenty of fans.

You could also go vintage if new models don't float your boat :)
