So I am looking at my new piece, I have been fortunate to try many brands and always come back to Rolex as my main.
Currently on the stable:
SubC (no date, I know should not even mention this)
SS Daytona (black)
AP diver
JLC deep sea chrono

As you can see I love black dials, also important to mention I had a Explorer II (40mm) for 11 years as my only watch, before I let it go and start buying and trading different brands/models , thanks to TRF

Budget? That is a great question but I do want to keep it in the range of the options I have so nothing crazy for now :)

Budget-wise, I think you could get into an EXP II easier...if that makes a difference. It would be between the EXP II and the BLNR for me.

samsam · 12 June 2014, 11:46 AM

You don't have a dressy watch. DJII (smooth bezel)

fishingbear · 12 June 2014, 02:56 PM

A GMT would fit nice in that collection.

venom43 · 12 June 2014, 03:36 PM

Explorer 2 best all around SS model that Rolex currently makes. I really do like the GMT2c, but it felt to me as a more flashy watch...maybe the ceramic. So as soon as I got the 42mm "polar", I couldn't take it off because I could wear it everywhere and not worry about it getting beat up and is this too flashy for everyday wear.....I did however like the GMT2c so much I up graded it to YG.

Bangel · 12 June 2014, 03:48 PM

I like the BLNR best out of those choices.

I'm a fan of rotating bezels.

busytimmy · 12 June 2014, 04:01 PM

BLNR. You don't have a GMT and you could use a little colour.

AK797 · 12 June 2014, 09:18 PM

How about selling a couple of those, not the Diver, for a gold GMTc or even the BLRO.

jamesbondOO7 · 13 June 2014, 04:29 AM

Explorer II 40 mm black

Gerardus · 13 June 2014, 05:01 AM

EXII black face (or white), best choice for the money

nickb732 · 13 June 2014, 06:40 AM

Having had a chance to handle both the Polar and the BLNR, my vote is with the Polar.

roklee · 13 June 2014, 06:10 PM

Exp2 polar or YM blue

Touring · 13 June 2014, 07:08 PM

No brainer - BLNR.

BlakeC · 13 June 2014, 07:13 PM

BLNR for sure
