In a dilemma
Hello fellow TRF. I am (still) in a dilemma where I cannot decide between the BLNR and the 114060 knowing that I have the GMT C since 2010. Still the BLNR astonishes me by its beauty. On the other hand, the 114060 is a true classic.
So what do you think? What would you do in my shoes and why? Cheers. PS: I will not trade, I'm just buying 1 new watch. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'd go BLNR. The all black GMT and the 114060 are too similar in their design. The BLNR will add some color.

I have a feeling I'm going to be in the minority here but i vote BLNR.
I also have the GMT C LN and i have found my DSSD to pretty redundant looks wise to my GMT, Black dial, black bezel. Yes i know they are "different" functionally, size wise, etc., but they also look really similar too. I think 2 GMT's with different bezels is less redundant in a collection than a GMT LN and a Sub. Visually speaking. This does not factor any possible uses for the watches like diving etc. |

I know you said you won't trade but I would get both and sell the GMT.
By keeping the GMT you will either be adding another black dial/black ceramic watch, or another GMT. The BLNR and 114060 work better as a pair IMHO. |

Definitely agree with this. Get the BLNR, sell your 2010, and buy a 114060. The 114060 is an absolute classic, I love mine. I think you'd be happy with this scenario. Good luck!

Have to agree with this. Unless the sentimental value of the GMTc is too much, then go with the one that astonishes. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

If it is the one you want then blnr. No real wrong choices. You will have 2 watches with pcl however.
My number one shot would be as per hugs above. TrAde the LN and get the other 2. Failing that, I have the LN also. I'd maybe consider the hulk in your position if you can do the green for some variety. |

In a dilemma
I am not trading my GMT for the simple reason that I love it very much and additionally it has a sentimental value. That's all. Thank you all for your advices and comments and the way I see it, till now, you're mostly BLNR 🖤

Trade the GMT-C you have, get both.
You should get even trade on the 114060 for the GMTC (depending on condition & documents), and buy the BLNR.
