Can only have one --Blnr or Sub Ln--
I sold two of my Rolexes last year to buy a new house and it has been horrible without them.
I have been saving and can now buy one again. I can only afford one and have it narrowed down to two fantastic watches. Blnr or Sub ceramic. Which one??? I only wear a suit once a year and my daily outfit is shorts and a polo. Please help me decide. |

GMT II SS, blue n black gmt looks like a Fugazi... Sub C is too common, but this is all matter of Personal taste.

For an everyday watch Submariner hands down. Of coarse if you travel a lot changing many time zones then the BLNR GMT is your ticket for just one watch.

For every day and swimming, BLNR, if you travel a lot, BLNR. If you go casual, with jeans, BLNR, if you wear a suit, BLNR. It is an ideal 1 watch watch.
Only the counterfeiters have a watch out there that looks like it at this point, and they're hard to come by. |

Sub. A mate bought the BLNR and I have gone off it big style seeing on a regular basis but the Sub is classic.

There is no wrong answer but I really like the GMT. Which one do you like on your wrist?

I'd get the BLNR and save for a 114060 or LVC.
