That's the description I was looking for. I wonder how the plat
coke is going to look

I would go Smurf and BLNR (IMO) Can't go wrong with either, they're both a stunning combo.

Would have to vote Smurf, in my mind the Pepsi should be a 16710. The white gold model does not do it at all for me, just my opinion.

watchwatcher · 19 February 2017, 11:42 AM

These two would work for me.

Like Neil said, you gotta have a sunburst!

watchwatcher · 19 February 2017, 11:45 AM

Double post, sorry.

tkerrmd · 19 February 2017, 11:45 AM

Can't go wrong

My favorite color is blue, so it's smurf for a WG piece for me. I have a black dial SS that I love, (Exp II) so Hulk was my other choice.

BLNR and black dial SuB are great pieces also!

Very nice pictures Dick

They're both awesome!

Hodog16 · 19 February 2017, 12:37 PM

Have owned both Subs and neither GMT (so there's my bias).

Either WG/SS combo would be great.

MrJ320 · 19 February 2017, 12:45 PM

BLRO and 116610LN would be my choice over Smurf and BLNR.

kilyung · 19 February 2017, 02:22 PM

Either is a winner and you'll always want the other

jopsiawe · 19 February 2017, 02:40 PM

BLRO then hulk for me

mrchrisx69 · 19 February 2017, 03:19 PM

What much is a Smurf?

BLRO and a dateless Sub would be my choice.

Great pair!!!

Exact same thing for me. Except my black dial watch is also a sub.

OP. Def no wrong answer though I just thought the blue on the smurf popped more too.

Racerdj · 19 February 2017, 09:27 PM

For me it would be the smurf and BLNR route. Either way, they are worthy to be in any collection. There is no wrong answer here.

japenney · 19 February 2017, 09:30 PM

Blro and hulk would be a great combo with lots of variation.

Loevhagen · 19 February 2017, 09:31 PM

The 116619LB needs to be upgraded with a sunburst dial - just like the 116613LB was.

Rolex; come on!

Hotrod297 · 19 February 2017, 09:31 PM

Get both, flip the Daytona while it's value is still high. Get the Daytona down the road when it's value settles down if you still desire it.

Snow-Dweller · 19 February 2017, 09:34 PM

This...

1William · 19 February 2017, 10:03 PM

I like both the Smurf and the BLRO. I would get the Smurf and the Hulk and have the bases covered.

pearson1995 · 19 February 2017, 10:27 PM

I cant help but be drawn to the Sub. But I can find fault in both. The lack of sunburst dial in the Sub baffles me. It would make it a near perfect watch.... and the BLRO like mentioned before is more of a blueberry cranberry look. In terms of looks and nothing else, I prefer the look of the BLNR to the BLRO!

Decisions decions haha. I hope they release the white gold daytona with a ceramic bezel in March. Another option I would seriously consider.

RichM · 19 February 2017, 11:32 PM

Or you could just get both.

Blro and hulk. Love the smurf but already had a blue diver and wanted something different. Love the blro bezel colors. That and the hulk is awesome. A green bezel/green sunburst dial is too cool and unique to pass up. If I end up getting another watch (have the blro now), hulk would be on the top of the list.
