Looking for 2nd Rolex.

Hello, I am looking now for my 2nd Rolex and I don't know what to go for,I was thinking a sub or a day date? What do you guy think ? I have a 1990 date just at the min on a jubilee bracelet and I love it but I don't think I would like another one on the same braclet. What do you recommend?

Thanks John

Submariner or Sea Dweller. Iconic Rolex diver classics that must be had in every Rolex arsenal imo.

I really like the one that fades from black to blue but in England it a massive waiting list and to get one pre owned it's £1000gbp more!

Must be talking about GMT BLNR. If you like the complication and dig the looks (as I do!) , that would be a fine choice to add to your collection. I think to add to your Date Just has to be either a diver or GMT first.

Yes! I would like to get a sports model, where I live (Liverpool) there is a lot of fake subs and daytona's so it saturated with them with kind of puts you off I guess but I have always loved them! But I would like ether of them.

Agree with adding color and adding a sports model. Gold/blue adds so much versatility to the collection and allows you to match your metals if you wear nice clothing (i.e. Blazers or Sportscoats or belts with gold/brass). Couldn't be more happy with this watch.

It sounds like your heart is set on a GMT BLNR there available here from our Trusted Sellers.

My uncle had the blues and gold sub and that's what got me in to Rolex watches! I don't know what to do for now I think I might just got and have a look at some ad's by me and see what's what! I really like the rolex milgauss but I don't know whether i would like a sports model this time around as I have a dj. I think I would get a pre owned watch, there is a really good one called mark warringtons in Wilmslow, just have to make my mind up on what I really would like it get!

Your avatar makes me think you might want a Diver or 7.

Sub or Sea Dweller.

My first was a TT datejust on jubilee and either of those divers make a great addition.

What DJ do you have? Dial color?
As others have suggested a Sub or a GMT would be a great addition.

With what you already own why not go with a Sub. A classic in the lineup and a very comfortable watch.
