Jumping the gun a little bit considering I just got my ND Sub-C last week, but what would you pick for Rolex #2?

edit: And is it weird that it's been 6 days and I'm already planning out my next purchase?

luvsub · 13 August 2013, 02:33 PM

Lvc.

TSW · 13 August 2013, 03:33 PM

LVc all day!

CWIN · 13 August 2013, 04:15 PM

Since you didn't have an option for both and because you just got a Sub, my vote is for the BLNR. And I don't think it's weird that you are looking at picking up another watch so soon. I bought my LVC about a week after I got my BLNR.

Monobrow · 13 August 2013, 04:16 PM

Hulk! Smash!

kenn18 · 13 August 2013, 04:28 PM

BLNR - the future classic!

Awesome! Which do you prefer?

I'm so head-over-heels in love with the LVc. Hopefully when it's time to purchase, I can kill two birds with one stone and buy them at the same time but as it stands, I think I'll go LVc first, BLNR second.

It's a tough choice, but if I had to buy one now and I already have a sub, I'd go with a GMT first. It's more versatile than the green in my opinion.

One thing to consider though is that because the BLNR is so new, it'd be harder to get a great deal on one. In that case, you may want to get the LV first while waiting for the price on the BLNR to drop.

I must say though that its hard for me to choose a watch for the day when I get up. Both are beautiful!

travisb · 13 August 2013, 08:36 PM

LVC next.

Followed by the BLNR.
I'm guessing this poll will end up around 50/50.

I guess I shouldn't say flip the 114060 and buy both?

Psmith · 13 August 2013, 08:38 PM

Blue/black

bayerische · 13 August 2013, 09:05 PM

LVc.

cop414 · 13 August 2013, 09:06 PM

Get the BLNR, please don't flip your Sub to do it though.

beshannon · 13 August 2013, 09:09 PM

You already have a Sub, why get a green one?

Get a GMT, I like the BLNR myself

Urosfan · 13 August 2013, 09:44 PM

Blnr in your case

KBM · 13 August 2013, 11:00 PM

Blnr!

SixPak · 13 August 2013, 11:07 PM

Another vote for the BLNR for some variety.

Dcmk · 13 August 2013, 11:11 PM

akira23 · 14 August 2013, 03:10 AM

LVc

WatchFeen · 14 August 2013, 03:12 AM

duuuuuude - LVC ;) haha

Vipes · 14 August 2013, 03:30 AM

I had to make the same decision last month. I decided on this after seeing both in person. Yea, the BLNR is pretty cool but the LVc is more unique with the green dial.

eric23 · 14 August 2013, 07:10 AM

Voted for SubC-LV but both are nice.

AK797 · 14 August 2013, 08:24 AM

Hulk now or as Travis said I would enjoy the black subc for a while then trade it for the Hulk and buy the Daynight.

RUpanerai · 14 August 2013, 08:30 AM

Original GMT 2 C or GMT 2 Pepsi... Hulk would be too redundant and the GMT 2 Batman just looks wrong IMHO.

jokr82 · 14 August 2013, 08:50 AM

But if one day when I will buy a rolex, whitout doubt will be a BLNR

Good luck Mate

busytimmy · 14 August 2013, 09:02 AM

The LV is the biz. I've got one and I'm considering adding the SubC no-date or a Vintage no-date to the fold. So two subs? Absolutely. I'd go the normal all-black GMT if anything, but I already have that covered with the Explorer II.

Roller07 · 14 August 2013, 10:49 AM

Get the LVc and start a little Sub collection with the 114060 you already have.

nycpassat · 14 August 2013, 12:24 PM

you already have a sub, get the BLNR

bawlin · 14 August 2013, 12:39 PM

The margin is getting narrower, but I'm surprised that the BLNR is leading the vote. I wonder if this is because I already own a Sub or if people genuinely prefer the BLNR to the LVc.

When I got my 114060, it was between that and the GMT2 LN. I went with the Sub because I planned on getting a BLNR down the road (as Rolex #2) and I figured that having an LN and BLNR would be very redundant. On the contrary, I don't think owning an ND Sub-c and LVc is redundant, given that the entire dial and bezel is a completely different color (whereas the difference between the BLNR and LN is maybe 1.5"x.1" of blue on the bezel). I am hoping that when it comes time to make my next purchase, that I can just buy both at the same time and spare myself the headache of having to decide between the two.

And the 114060 isn't going anywhere. I will admit that I get bored of things very quickly, but you only have one "first" Rolex in your entire life and I think it would be a shame to get rid of it. I mean, who doesn't wish they still had their first car? My Jetta was a total POS but the memories I had with that thing were priceless and I would give anything to be able to go my garage and have a chance to spend some time with her.

Cheers!
