happy weekend - decision time!
Fellow TRFer's, its been some time since I last posted - glad to be back!

Bonus season is coming up, which means maybe its time for another watch.

Currently sporting 116710 LN, and my thoughts are:

1. BLNR along side LN
2. SubC
3. white dial Daytona

#1 is just a hangover idea as I really like the LN

Let me know what your thoughts are!

You already have the GMT, so I would consider either a Subc no date, or a Milgauss GV. I bought an SS Daytona a few months back.....unfortunately it is my least favorite piece.

I'll agree with you that the GMT is a great watch....

If your going to go Subc, then for sure it has to be the ND.
If you want the date feature.....might I suggest the 50th LV to compliment your GMT2c LN.

It depends, really. If you want to concentrate, go with the BLNR. If you want to shake it up a bit, go with the Daytona

Daytona to add something different. The BLNR and Sub is too similar for your collection so far. Get the daytona and then get either a BLNR or Sub after!

If you have the opportunity to pick up a Daytona out of the bunch, that is what I'd choose.

Thanks all for the input. I like them all, but maybe the Daytona is winning my heart right now.

To all those who suggested SubC ND, why ND? I actually like the date function.

Also considering the blue dial milgauss.

decisions, decisions...

Because you said Sub-C and the other is called Sub-C Date. Both great IMHO. Cheers.

The 114060 is nice because of its simplicity and dial symmetry. Also, the 114060 is closer to the original Subs than the 116610. The first Sub with a date didn't come out until 1965 or so.

SS Daytona white dial. It will be a nice contrast to the black dial of your GMT Master II.
