It took me so much time just to limit it down to those 4 others

KBM · 28 July 2018, 05:01 AM

I voted BLNR + D500 + Sub (but make that a 619

)

jsausley · 28 July 2018, 05:18 AM

BLNR for daily, Daytona for baller status, something else for wearing with suits.

If you actually dive, get a dive watch but most people don't, and the BLNR is fine for casual swim/snorkel/etc.

Unless you are a Navy SEAL I think your second option would be more practical.

scombs263 · 28 July 2018, 03:21 PM

Batman
Hulk
Skydweller

Laszlo · 28 July 2018, 04:40 PM

BLNR + Daytona 116520 White + SubC Date

cajerseyboy · 28 July 2018, 05:05 PM

Seems like BLNR and Daytona have a lot of votes for 1 and 2. I don’t agree with going with a dressier option for the 3rd as a Daytona is plenty dressy for my taste.

3rd you need a sub! An LV Sub!

This.

That written, I voted for the BLNR & white Daytona C & the Sub Date C but that was before I read your other replies in this thread and because I was considering my taste in Rolex watches and was thinking of maximum differentiation among the watches due to color. (I was thinking of the Hulk, but it doesn't seem like you're a fan of it and I admit that I don't see it being as versatile as a black dial Sub Date, however that watch is pretty close to a BLNR in terms of looks.) Due to your preferences, I'm thinking BLNR & white Daytona C & an OP of your choosing so that you've got something somewhat dressy.

Kigan · 28 July 2018, 06:02 PM

Number 1: BLNR + Daytona 116520 White + YM Rodium.

Ps.
As an option: BLNR + Daytona 116520 White + Blancpain FF Blue Titanium.

My ideal 3 pice collection has changed loads of times over the years. I’m not there currently.

rph08 · 28 July 2018, 08:36 PM

BLNR is an awesome watch so I would keep that. I think I would go:

BLNR + WG Daytona 116519LN + SD43

1William · 28 July 2018, 09:45 PM

All great combinations.

Krash · 29 July 2018, 01:36 AM

BLNR + White Daytona + Sub C (no date)

Nycturbovr6 · 29 July 2018, 02:39 AM

deej · 29 July 2018, 03:24 AM

Thank you all for your input. I'm travelling to Norway in October, and might have the opportunity to buy at a duty-free airport AD as well as other ADs in Oslo. Any advice regarding buying a watch and VAT refund for a Canadian?
