Just to keep this topic fresh I'm going to vote again: Daytona with white dial. THE GMT looks too similar to the Hulk as far as design. Daytona looks completely different. No point having two watch that are similar in design (IMO). You could also go DJ. Just not another numbered bezel watch.

Above is strictly my aesthetic preference and naturally many will disagree.

I wish people would stop posting pics of the Hulk - I didn't think much of it at first but now I can't get enough!

I would go with BLNR or a Daytona (any colour dial! )

BLNR would give you a GMT functioning watch which IMO covers a need in a watch collection.

When i look beyond the beautiful ceramic bezel of the BLNR, I find that there's a great deal of similarity between its dial and Hulk (to me)

If this is something that bothers you, perhaps the Milgauss , Polar or Daytona will offer more variety. This will depends on how much you need a chrono vs 2nd time zone tracking or none at all.

I voted Polar ExpII. I think it goes great with the LVc.
Then, I would follow up with the BLNR. I have 3 Rolex (LVc, BLNR, Polar ExpII)
I think they all go great as a trio. Either the BLNR or Polar for your next if you ask me.

At this point, the list should be getting smaller, not larger.

Which one do you feel suits your lifestyle and interest better?

You bet! The list should infact be getting smaller. I have the LV sub and the Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch. So am thinking of a Blnr or a TT GMT Master II, a Daytona (either colour) or a Deepsea Z blue.
