I would say wear the 114060 everyday all day, and the BLNR on weekends and events.

I have the 114060 and contemplated buying a BLNR, but for me there just isn't enough to differentiate the watches to make it worthwhile. I'm on the list for a white Daytona instead.

I have a 114060 and a 16710.
I alternate between the two of them everyday depending on my mood/outfit.

If I had the BLNR, I'd just get the PCLs brushed and make it my one and only.
I'm tempted to sell both and get one to be honest. Or trade both with someone that has a BLNR + cash.

But i'd definitely miss the versatility of the combo and the minimalism/sleekness of the 114060.

Not sure if that helps :)

As mentioned above "If I had the BLNR, I'd just get the PCLs brushed and make it my one and only"

That would make it the perfect everyday one and only watch......if you have the nerve to do such a thing!

They make a great pair. 114060 when you want simple and straight forward and BLNR when you want to add a little extra or are needing the added functions.

GMT and Submariner make for a nice balance.

I have a BLNR and a SD4K. BLNR gets all the wrist time.

Don't forget the glidelock bracelet on the no date. A brilliant piece of engineering. Can't go wrong with Sub and a GMT.

IMO they are a great pair with many people on here owning both. I have had my 114060 for just over 4 years and my BLNR for around 15months, for me there are enough differences to justify owning both. I see the BLNR as slightly more dressy and the 114060 more of an every day watch which gets around 70% of my wrist time. Go for it I'm sure you won't regret it

i could only swing one, so for me it was the sub but i would gladly wear both if i could.
could not quite come to grips with the polished bracelet

I have the BLNR which was my first Rolex. I bought the 114060 almost 1 year after. I wear both often.

I had them both for a short period time and they look and wear completely different. Congrats on an amazing duo!

I was contemplating adding SD4K to my BLNR. However it seems likes BLNR gets your wrist time. Is there a reason why the SD4K doesn't make the rotation more regularly?

I've been on a flipping journey due to limited funds and found "the one".

This is the GMTiiC. Prior to this I've had a 42mm Exp, 114060 sub and a SDC. The GMT is by far the most comfortable of these on the wrist due to the flatter case back. In the flesh the big bezel numbers and PCL don't bother me at all (but did in photos which is why I got the others first).

IMHO. As much as I love the 114060, but for the amount you would have to pay I would say that they a little similar apart from the PCL, complications etc. I would probably consider something more dressy like a DJ or a black dial Daytona?
