Love my Seamaster works well against the Blnr ok not a Rolex but it's a great alternative to a sub

RHF1109 · 1 July 2016, 07:06 AM

Thank you all for the kind advice! I have narrowed it down to a no date Sub. Now to decide between ceramic/ pre-ceramic. Thoughts?

I love my sub-c date. So, my vote goes to the ceramic version. Because of the evolutionary improvements over it's predecessor: ceramic bezel (an improvement over the metal, with it's increased durability) as well as an improved bracelet and clasp. However, you can't go wrong with either & at the end of the day, it comes down to personal preference.

You might want to consider a DJ with Oyster bracelet accompanied with a face and stick markers. Regardless, continue to enjoy your BLNR!

Yes it is. The Tudor would also be great. Classic black goes anywhere.

I think this is good advice.

The BLNR and the DJ cover just about all the social circumstances, except for strict formal occasions.

You can always branch out into the Professional line later.

Daytona white.

Ravager135 · 1 July 2016, 12:00 PM

A white dial Datejust or an LV Submariner would give nice contrast.

Great choice! I have a BLNR and a 14060, it makes a great pair.

I say go pre-ceramic. The BLNR represents the newer generation of Rolex and the 14060 will represent the previous, which many consider the apex of Rolex tool watch design.

That's a nice combo! I'm always tempted to pick up a hulk, but I also have a Kermit. If I didn't have my eyes set on an AP right now I'd probably pull the trigger!

Hulk!

Fongball · 1 July 2016, 03:02 PM

For something similar, the Hulk. Something different, how about a blue dial YM? Or maybe a white dial Explorer II.

I have a BLNR and a hulk and they work perfectly together a great duo

DJExplorer · 2 July 2016, 12:48 AM

Daytona, Exp II or DJ II.
All perfect wing men for the BLNR.
Sub C no date and new Daytona C white dial is next on my hit list.
Have a thing for white dials and work so well opposite the black gloss Rolex dials.

AK797 · 2 July 2016, 03:25 AM

One is enough SS, go for a PM.

ZeKe · 2 July 2016, 03:38 AM

Daytona or LV Submariner would be awesome. I would avoid another black dial.

scombs263 · 2 July 2016, 03:01 PM

I was thinking hulk.....

Eric Chan · 2 July 2016, 03:58 PM

Many good choices, but I would go with this combo.

mrchan · 2 July 2016, 06:52 PM

If you're going to spend another ten grand on another watch you might as well try a beautiful dressy piece from other manufacturers rather than buying another similar looking watch. If you did insist on it being a Rolex then a Datejust would be perfect.
Of course, I'm a little biased ;)

114060 is great and the glide lock clasp is awesome.
