So my only Rolex is an LVc (Luckily purchased back in April) and was wondering what the best compliment would be. I'm currently thinking D-Blue or BLNR. I would really want a Black D500 Daytona, but I don't want to pay over MSRP for this purchase. Also liked a DJ41, Blue dial, Flutted, Jubilee, Sticks, but haven't tried one on before, also at age 34, I'm not sure if I'm ready for a DJ. Also, have a Speedy and Breitling SuperOcean II. Pics for reference, lol.

exp2 polar or blnr.

i think dive and chrono is covered.

Dive is def covered, lol, but that is my fave style, plus I go in the ocean/pool quite often. GMT would be useful, even though my only travel is pleasure related.

yannis · 22 December 2017, 04:48 AM

DJ41, BLNR for diversity. SD 126600 works well for me also.

AK797 · 22 December 2017, 04:56 AM

Go for the DJ41, fluted bezel would make a nice change from your line up.

I'm a fan of the BLNR for functionality and looks. Daytona would be a great addition as well. Are you looking New Only? Vintage opens up a wide door of variety

I would be open to some vintage, but I don't like to spend money on things I don't understand. A Pepsi GMT would be cool, but I would need to really learn more to make an educated buy, also I hate the older bracelets, so that's a drawback for me.

LOL I feel similarly, great watch.

Naples09 · 22 December 2017, 05:04 AM

I would look at the GMT IIC - since the BLNR came out they have fallen out of favor and you can grab a used one for a steal.

What's a good price? I've seen sub 6K, not sure where I should be on that piece right now.

Depends on year and condition (ie serviced or needs serviced). But I think anywhere in the 6k range is a great buy for a GMT IIC.

Hramez · 22 December 2017, 06:20 AM

BLNR , or SD 126600

^^ either of these!

Ben.McDonald7 · 22 December 2017, 06:27 AM

I'll also chime in and recommend the BLNR. I'm on a wait list for one so I'm pretty biased.

Since you like the DJ41, the SkyD also incorporates the GMT function as well as an annual calendar.

drmizzou · 22 December 2017, 07:00 AM

Nice collection!!

"That's a beautiful green watch you have, sir". Not sure if it would be the best, but that would be a good one.

Good catch, that's what I get for rushing to post without a proofread.

The_Watch_Clocker · 22 December 2017, 07:21 AM

something with fluted bezel and jubilee bracelet would be the best addition.

In a money is no object world, I would agree. I feel the same about a SkyD premium as a Daytona premium....not for me, at least until I really have money to burn.

Chadridv · 22 December 2017, 07:28 AM

BLNR, Daytona C or DJ41

encarter13 · 22 December 2017, 07:30 AM

BLNR would pair nicely. However, the DJ 41 might be the better choice. It is a little more "dressy" than your other watches.

Bigblu10 · 22 December 2017, 07:35 AM

Yellow gold blue sunburst Sub 116618LB. Between this and the Hulk you have two awesome watches, one in steel one in gold.

Terrakot · 22 December 2017, 07:36 AM

My pair

eltonbalch · 22 December 2017, 07:55 AM

My vibe meter suggests a great choice would be a James Cameron Deep Sea (or a regular Deep Sea to avoid the price premium). Your wrist looks big enough to carry it off. If you are headed for the corporate suite, or “need” a dress Watch, then a DJ 41 on jubilee without the fluted bezel may be a better more under the radar choice. The BLNR is also nice but I bet the polished center links will get old in a hurry because they are fingerprint and micro swirl magnets. It does not bother some, but I got rid of my GMT II for that reason, though you could have them brushed to a satin finish.

Mystro · 22 December 2017, 07:55 AM

DJII or some kind of DJ to complete the Rolex Icon look.

watchwatcher · 22 December 2017, 10:33 AM

It would be between the BLNR (ideally a BLRO) and a DJ41 for me.

superstarmar · 22 December 2017, 10:40 AM

BLNR for sure 100%...
Sub and GMT combo is a winner ...
