How many of you have both?

Any regrets?

Does it feel like you are wearing the same watch?

Been thinking about the polar Explorer which i really like, its great! but i prefer the GMt but i am battling with myself, so similar yet so different?

Will it feel redundant?

Wingman244 · 19 November 2015, 08:54 AM

I have a E2 Polar - love it and looking at a 16710 GMT as my next watch and a SD4000 after that. I think they are all very different.

Sal_UKSheffield · 19 November 2015, 08:57 AM

Yeh the explorer 2 is a beauty
But so is the BLNr
If i was picking one i would go BlNR
But already have a sub so i am conflicted!!!!

Help lol

Lordofrolex · 19 November 2015, 09:05 AM

I personally wouldn't get both. Im actually having that dilemma right now. If i want a GMT or a Sub.

I almost pulled a trigger on a GMT IIc

sickened1 · 19 November 2015, 09:07 AM

My Sub date just has some green in it.

Totally 2 different watch.

I know, i was so close on saturday. I told my self it would be redundant and that I would feel like i was wearing the same watch. But the daily blnr incomings!

Personally i like the sub best, then gmt, exlporer, ym

But i am leaning towards exp and ym... Only because i have a sub

I prefer the blnr tho?!?

Not sure what to do...

I'd go with the BLNR as you like it more, rather than another watch which just diversifies your collection more. Hulk is great idea too.

Looks wise: Blue/ Pcls/ Different styled bezel

Does it wear differently?

TimeRookie · 19 November 2015, 09:33 AM

This should help

Subc and GMTc wear very similarly for me.

tkerrmd · 19 November 2015, 09:10 AM

I don't think they are redundant unless you have black v black

So mix it up with a Hulk or BLNR

Ed above has it right!!

Absolutely.

Gerry62 · 19 November 2015, 09:11 AM

I prefer the Sub !

Kyle89 · 19 November 2015, 09:15 AM

I have a BLNR and Pelagos, the fiancé wears a SubC ND so I suppose what I have is somewhat close to your question. For me, however, the Sub and BLNR have two completely different wrist presence personalities.

DJExplorer · 19 November 2015, 09:36 AM

You will not regret the Polar Exp II. The presence, the full package inside the case and the lume is awesome. Nice bright face on the winter day/nights and a dazzling one when the sun comes out.

That's what I ended up doing. I got the polar, then the BLNR, but I didn't have or have a Sub. The GMT is similar but enough different I think.

Xyzander · 19 November 2015, 09:47 AM

I love the Yin Yang. I used to have a 16760 GMT-II but sold because not enough wrist time.

Getting rid of the DJII and going BLNR was a good move.

Now you just need a Smurf.

silverbullet818 · 19 November 2015, 04:05 PM

Love it...

But let's be honest. To the non-Rolex person or to a layman, the GMT II and the Sub 'look' identical.

SamiKssiaa · 19 November 2015, 04:17 PM

I have a BLNR, but if I'm going to get a sub, its got to be the green version.
