2 for 1 OR 1 for 2?

Can I pick your brains.

Lets say you have the following watches in mind and you already have a SS Black subc, SS/Plat YM, TT grey dial DJ II;
  1. Explorer II
  2. DJ SS fluted bezel 36mm Jubilee bracelet
  3. SubC Bluesy
Would you get a Bluesy when you can spend about the same amount and get a Exp II & DJ or would you get Exp II & DJ instead of Bluesy. So 1 for 2 or 2 for 1?


Lets hear your thoughts

Although I'm not a fan of the TT blue sub sometimes 1 can be better then 2. Put it on never take it off and enjoy life and your watch

I would go for 2 for 1 since I like both of those watches more than Sub-c. You would also get more versitility with a sport watch and a dress watch IMO.

While I love the Sub C Bluesy (and hope to one day pick one up myself), I also like variety, so if I had to choose I think I'd go with the Explorer and the DJ . However, if it was based on my present collection, I'd pick up that Bluesy in a heart beat

It really just depends what you like the best and want the most.

hmm tough choice.

For me, I'd choose the 2 for 1.

I love the Exp II and you can get the white to compliment your Sub.
As for the DJ, the one you describe would be pure class

2 for 1, for me. If I didn't have any other Rolex, I'd really like the two you've picked-- Exp II and SS DJ.
