Perfect 3-piece SS collection

Land, Air, and Sea: white ceramic daytona, Oyster Batman, and Ceramic Sub-D

Your thoughts? Was thinking of switching the Batman for a Pepsi but the BLNR is becoming a modern classic: first bi-color ceramic bezel, 6 year production run, and oyster preferred over jubilee. I may rest here

Stay safe everyone.

I like the Land, Air, and Sea combo but unlike many here who would make Daytona Land my trio would be GMT (TT), SUB(LV), and EXP II(POLARRRR)

Loving your tudor trifecta! Out of curiosity how does the THC wear in comparison to your GMT and Pelagos? The THC is catching my eye alot at the moment! I own a BB ETA and love it. Im not 100% sure but think I have read the THC’s wear thinner and smaller than the dims might suggest. Same for the GMT too IIRC. Both of which are on my “list”. My BB is probably very near to my limit in terms of sizing so was curious to get your thoughts on the. Thanks.

Thanks! The THC has a flat case back in comparison and seems to hug the wrist more than the others, although it doesn't look like it in the pics below.I don't notice a size difference on the wrist. All three have slightly different bracelets which gives each a slightly different feel when worn.

Stylistically, the THC looks great on a variety of straps. The BB rivet has really won me over and seems the best combo on the BB GMT.

Thanks for the response. My ETA has a flat case back too. I think they share the same bracelet also, so given what has been said I imagine they wear exactly the same, great! The THC is currently singing to me more than the GMT. Think it would provide a more contrast when switching between the two. The GMT and my BB although different are probably to similar. Is the cyclops mod something you did yourself or did you take it to a watchmaker? TIA

SS Submariner-C ND, SS BLRO, YG DD. That is the combo that could work for me.

Toss one for a Datejust. I don't understand the obsession around here for multiple lookalike sport models and neither would the general public.

Stay safe everyone.


I prefer the SD instead of Sub for my trio



Of course an all black dial variant trio is cool too!



But my personal favorite trio that will always be with me thick and thin is

I’ve also got a hulk, skydweller, ds43 and a sub but I’m reducing down as I think these three are the perfect trio.

That’s impressive, feel the overseas is too big for my wrist but on paper I love those 3! And the strap change options

If it has to be a Land, Air, Sea combo then:

Land: Milgauss Z-Blue (A sporty Date-just with a ton of character)
- Unbiased Alternatives: Rolex Explorer (36 or 39 depending on your preference), Date-just (again size based on your preference though I prefer 36mm)

Air: 16710 (Best GMT ever made)

Sea: 14060M or 116600
- 14060M is a classic but very similar to the 16710 and also would be older
- 116600 is thicker and heavier but it is a modern Rolex, without going overboard with the fat lugs. You could just rock your land or air watch if you are concerned about the functionality of the watch with formal attire.

Here's where I ended up with my 3 SS collection. Not exactly land air sea, but I wanted variety and each piece is unique and completely different from one another.
