BLNR is my only watch currently. Thoughts on a good companion piece? Maybe Black Bay or no date Sub? Or dare I say it, HULK?

Hulk would be a good choice, or perhaps a daytona? A Datejust would give you a bit more of a dressy watch to go with the BLNR for daily use.

I think a DateJust would be perfect

I think this is good advice.

The BLNR and the DJ cover just about all the social circumstances, except for strict formal occasions.

You can always branch out into the Professional line later.

I know someone who has a BLNR who just purchased a Hulk, they are a great pair.

I've got a BLNR, and my favorite companion piece would be my Black Bay Bronze. Also sporty but a completely different vibe. I've got Subs and SD's too, and frankly they don't feel or look different enough from the BLNR to make them a great addition. A 2-tone DJ41 would also be cool, and the Everose with chocolate dial is in my sights and one your might consider.

The Libertine · 30 June 2016, 11:25 PM

Submariner is always a nice companion for the GMT.

Yes it is. The Tudor would also be great. Classic black goes anywhere.

sutats · 30 June 2016, 11:32 PM

The BLNR is versatile in being sporty and dressy. So for carefree days where you're casual and the days don't matter, I would suggest clean dateless look of a Black Bay, Submariner or Daytona.

Wcdhtwn · 30 June 2016, 11:33 PM

Hulk is a good choice. How about an SD4K? DJ is good too, I think the SS blue dial options are great looking.

watchwatcher · 30 June 2016, 11:39 PM

The possibilities are endless, my friend. The Lvc gets my vote.

For what my opinion is worth, a no date sub or a datejust would be perfect.

Yeah, don't say hulk.

But you can buy the green sub.
The LV sub.

A different dial color other than black.

Explorer 2 is beautiful and best price.

JRT · 1 July 2016, 12:25 AM

The blue Pelagos (dive watch) is a good companion of the BLNR (GMT watch) if you like the blue hue.

rw2008 · 1 July 2016, 12:34 AM

Hulk, SD4K, No Date Sub or DJ

brucethemanlee · 1 July 2016, 12:34 AM

If Rolex than i'd go with:
diver - Submariner no date or
chrono - Daytona

If non-Rolex I'd go with:
diver - Tudor Black Bay or
chrono - Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch

100% my thoughts.

I love my sub-c date. So, my vote goes to the ceramic version. Because of the evolutionary improvements over it's predecessor: ceramic bezel (an improvement over the metal, with it's increased durability) as well as an improved bracelet and clasp. However, you can't go wrong with either & at the end of the day, it comes down to personal preference.

Datejust would be great for diversity, if you want to stay in a more sporty mode then 114060 would be great as well.

joe100 · 1 July 2016, 12:59 AM

Explorer 1, the new one.

The perfect 2 watch collection.

t60 · 1 July 2016, 01:39 AM

+1 for updated Explorer I, perfect for days when you want Rolex, but without the attention.

ap1 · 1 July 2016, 01:47 AM

Daytona 500
