I've been mulling over the Vs between the ExpII and GMT BLNR as they are currently top of my wish list

Based on collection which way would you go?

My current collection are these!

On a side note my Sub now lives on a Nato or Rubber B so I would be swapping the GMT's bracelet to the fully brushed subs

SC11 · 9 August 2014, 05:26 AM

ExpII

Urosfan · 9 August 2014, 05:26 AM

Exp 2 polar

SC11 · 9 August 2014, 05:26 AM

Or GMT BLNR

irish john · 9 August 2014, 05:33 AM

You said it yourself samuel , you will be swapping the sub braclet to your gmt ,
The exp2 is 21mm i think so that wont work
Gmt you know it makes sense

clock · 9 August 2014, 05:37 AM

No question: GMT

ghotihead2001 · 9 August 2014, 05:43 AM

get the white dial...

mannyv11 · 9 August 2014, 05:49 AM

Explorer 2 all the way. Love that watch =)

Chrispare · 9 August 2014, 05:50 AM

GMT , the BLNR is really awasome and will fit with your very collection

RMC12 · 9 August 2014, 06:03 AM

I flipped my polar Exp II for the BLNR and could not be happier.

The GMT would be my choice.

ExplorerChris · 9 August 2014, 06:07 AM

Exp II all daylong

SoonerTA · 9 August 2014, 06:09 AM

I would go with the Exp II. But that's because it's on the top of my list

thsiao · 9 August 2014, 06:28 AM

Based on your collection I would go EXPII white dial.

ralfcom · 9 August 2014, 06:33 AM

I'll say Exp II polar

submariner123 · 9 August 2014, 06:39 AM

Definitely Exp II

Psmith · 9 August 2014, 06:56 AM

14060m · 9 August 2014, 06:57 AM

I would do the gmt

AngryApe · 9 August 2014, 07:21 AM

Polar ex2 with what you have, different dimension of style

Osborne · 9 August 2014, 07:23 AM

Polar

Time Exposure · 9 August 2014, 07:44 AM

Whaddaya gonna do with a watch that has a date?!?!
I love my EXPII 40, but between the 42 and the BLNR, I'd get the BLNR. Disclaimer: I have not seen BLNR in the flesh!

Rolexpharm · 9 August 2014, 08:12 AM

My vote for the BLNR

harvey · 9 August 2014, 08:12 AM

Has to be the exp II...

WAK4 · 9 August 2014, 08:18 AM

Expii... Then when the BLNR market cools down make it your next.

Exp polar is nice dial color option in your collection.

But BLNR is not a bad alternative... I plan to own one at some point myself.

elcompa · 9 August 2014, 08:23 AM

As a very happy BLNR guy, that would do nicely. On the other hand, that would leave you with three black dial watches. Perhaps the white dial Explorer 2 would best compliment your collection.

There is no bad choice here....just preference. Best of luck!

Time Exposure · 9 August 2014, 08:28 AM

BTW, I meant black dial EXPII. I know there's lots o love for Polar, but having had both in the 40 size, I much prefer black.

Just prefer the BLNR on brushed! TBH if I when ExpII I'd still swap out the clasp for the Sub's clasp.

Ha Ha yeah I like my dateless watches! I flipped my 116010LN for the 114060. I actually prefer them without dates but think the 24 hour complication or second time zone and date would add a nice travel watch to my collection 👍

Evo6 · 9 August 2014, 09:07 AM

You've got monochrome and Green/Orange covered, it's time to sing the blues...

ash20 · 9 August 2014, 10:39 AM

It depends if you want slightly more casual (ExpII) or want a bit of blue accent. The BLNR is close to your Sub and Milgauss in versatility. I'm not a fan of the ExpII so I'd vote for BLNR.
