Sub and GMT would be my choice as the most wearable and diverse of the three. The Cameron only as an addition to a larger collection. For me it is just too massive. But it's your choice and buy what you love. Don't second guess yourself.

BLNR and Deepsea Blue Gets my vote;

Deepsea Blue has been until now (after owning Hulk, Batman, DaytonaC..) that really felt in love.

Amazing dial amazing technology

Tough one. I have the D Blue and BLNR. I couldn't wear the TT Sub because it doesn't suit me; I've tried it and almost pulled the trigger a couple of times but it just doesn't work.

Whilst I've sort of lost the urge to flip my BLNR, if I could turn the clock back I wouldn't buy it.

If I was looking for two SS sports Rolexes in that price bracket now I would go for the D Blue and a YM, either blue or platinum dial.

D-Blue and BLNR for me. D-Blue dial is far from black so I wouldn't worry about that. Also, probably the most unique and special feeling watch in the professional line in my opinion.
I think the LB is gorgeous but TT never suited me. Three solid choices. Good luck.

My vote because that's what I have. Not similar at all. Wear completely differently.

This is what I've got but I feel that the DSSD is more of a collector watch due to its size on my wrist.

I own the DBlue and had the blnr for about 6 months at the same time. Two very different watches, and ultimately the blnr didn't last.

I'm not very objective when it comes to two tones as they really don't suit me.

What about an LVC?

I have always been drawn to diver's watches. If you don't travel to different time zones, I would go James Cameron and Bluesy. Or just get all three :)

Get Batman and Bluesy. Different in any aspect. Or otherwise as a second choice get D Blue and Batman. That is only and if TT is not drawing you in.

Ok, so you like the color blue and Rolex tool watches.
Given the amount the BLNR plus either of the other two will set you back consider a third option:
How about a white gold BLRO Pepsi or the Blue Sub (Smurf).
Either one of those is a one-and-done watch in my opinion.

Not at all, lots of owners here, it's just that gold will always be less popular than SS due to bling, weight and price.
