Collection update

Hi all
So I've decided to keep my Pam 111 and have just purchased the djii 116333 bi-metal slate dial with Roman numerals ....

I also own a bi metal gmt IIc -116713 and cannot decide whether to just keep this or trade for the new BLNR ....

Any recommendations would be most appreciated ...thanks all !!!

I like the BLNR myself. If funds are not an issue, then it would be a choice I'd make.

But I would never trade my Root Beer for a BLNR

I'd rather have the BLNR if I've already got a TT Oyster bracelet watch in the collection.

Keep the TT and add the BLNR, if that's an option.

116713 should be kept unless you have 116718.

These opinions can't be too helpful - I'd get the BLNR, myself.
