15400 is a wonderful watch with the elegance, finesse and presence few others could match. I love (and use) the cr@p out mine but I am about to pull the trigger on a 116610 and feel that they are sufficiently different and will surely complement each other.

I envy those who have the restraint to only live with one watch.

Too bad you let the BLNR go Sam!
Such a gorgeous reference and really no
Comparison to the SD C ... A nice switch up
if you will... Not really sure about the 15400
But maybe you'll acquire the BLNR again !!!

Good move.

I remember when your Rolex pair was the 116600 and the 116520. It was the same pair that I had, and I thought "Now here's a guy who has some taste."

I also have a BLNR on the way, and also will probably pick up a 116500 some day. But if I had to sell them all and keep only one watch, it would definitely be the 116600. I've said it many times here - it's the perfect Rolex diver.

Wore this one today.

Incredible reference with so many characteristics of the past with the modern upgrades.

Hi Sam, Sorry to hear you let go of the custom 114060 and BLNR. That matte bezel was fantastic

Curious to hear why you let the BLNR go after a relatively short period. Anything in particular that didn't speak to you (PCL, cyclops, etc)?

The SDc is a great watch and I look forward to seeing if you do go down the AP route.

It's hard to beat that sd4k. However I love the no date and BLNR too but Guess sometimes somethings gotta give! I would pick the new white Daytona ceramic over the 15400 but the 15400 over the BLNR and no date any day. Just has an edge over the two.. A real classy watch

This is not a bad thing as anyone who keeps up with my posts knows I love the 116600, it's currently my favourite SS model and has seen off some competition.



What now....



I'm patiently waiting on 116500 white (yes I'm 1st on a list ) and looking forward to seeing the revised 214270.



There is also the attraction to the darkside, the 15400 has sparked my interest of late.



Who knows but for now I'm still smitten by this


Nice pick for a 1 watch rotation 👍🏻

Superb photography and nice watch. I'm now one watch man, I even sold my 1996 TAG at the weekend. I do have a Casio for running though - more accurate than my DD!

If you MUST get down to one, that's a heck of a choice. And your future prospects ain't too shaby either

SDc is the best current SS Rolex, viewing will see how the 116500 stands up to it

The BLNR is a lovely watch but just didn't work with me, think I'd of been better with the LN

With the release of the 116500 this is going back to this really, I liked the 116520 but didn't love it!

I just didn't bond with it! Found it looked far better in pics then on my wrist and went with the 116600 most of the time which is usual for me especially when the BLNR was so new to the collection!

Yes it is hence why I feel the 116600 would pair up nicely with a 116500 (white) then I can move onto the AP

Was there a reason for the 30 days straight or are you tiring of PM watches haha as if....
