Hi TRF, first post here. If given a scenario of having/keeping two rolex watches (stainless steel only) which would you choose and why:

a. subc black with date and gmt2c blnr
b. subc hulk and gmt2c blnr
c. subc hulk and gmt2c black

Thanks...

jjnd08 · 31 January 2014, 12:02 AM

I say either B or C for more diversity. I would probably go with C though. The all black makes a great watch for any situation, and the Hulk is an awesome weekend watch.

I will preface this though with saying I bought a Hulk as part of a two watch rotation, and I was sick of the green within 90 days.

iazrollie · 31 January 2014, 12:03 AM

A...classic Sub and fun, but not too crazy BLNR.

mike · 31 January 2014, 12:03 AM

Welcome.

Given your options I'd do A.

echau · 31 January 2014, 12:12 AM

I'd pick C.

The Hulk is amazing, and the 116710 is very versatile.

Rolex40mm · 31 January 2014, 12:32 AM

C is the most thoughtful.

SixPak · 31 January 2014, 12:35 AM

I prefer some excitement in a collection so the Hulk and BLNR are my choice.

slm9555 · 31 January 2014, 12:51 AM

I like A, nothing beats a classic black Sub.

beshannon · 31 January 2014, 12:55 AM

I like A but three very similar watches.

I would keep the BLNR and look to add something else

408cissss · 31 January 2014, 12:56 AM

Option A for me

Rags · 31 January 2014, 12:56 AM

With the options that you have given I'd go with "A".

This. The LVc is too flashy for my tastes.

FremStar · 31 January 2014, 01:03 AM

Nice selection! My choices...

ttomczak · 31 January 2014, 01:05 AM

Hulk and BNLR... Or Option "B"

Agree, but really not much in any of them.

Cc1966 · 31 January 2014, 01:18 AM

I would go option A.

Jack T · 31 January 2014, 01:21 AM

A

kentrojan1 · 31 January 2014, 01:35 AM

Either B or C!

kilyung · 31 January 2014, 01:39 AM

I'd go A as I prefer the versatility of those colors

Wrist Candy · 31 January 2014, 01:51 AM

b. subc hulk and gmt2c blnr

captkevin · 31 January 2014, 02:33 AM

B

Joearch · 31 January 2014, 02:38 AM

I own the A scenario and am very pleased.

CWIN · 31 January 2014, 02:45 AM

I went with option B personally. My two favorite in the entire Rolex lineup. I traded my LVC for a JLC Master Calendar though. I miss it but don't regret the trade.

SLS · 31 January 2014, 02:45 AM

Welcome, A would be my choice as well

Ed Man · 31 January 2014, 02:46 AM

I would go A. While I like looking at the Hulk in photos, I don't think I would want a green watch as part of a 2 watch rotation. Maybe if it was a 3rd option.

gummy · 31 January 2014, 03:09 AM

I really like "B"…

I still find myself swapping the bracelet from the Sub to the BLNR.

mjclark32 · 31 January 2014, 03:10 AM

A for me.

joe100 · 31 January 2014, 03:26 AM

GMT BLNR and an Explorer 1, OP or DJ.

FTX I · 31 January 2014, 03:32 AM

I chose this combo and could not be happier: Sub-C 114060 & Sub-C Date 116610LN.
