So, what do you think, what will be better for three watch collection:
1) 126710BLNR, 126610LV and DJ41 (blue dial) or
2) 126710BLNR, 126610LV and Bluesy

I like DJ41 and Bluesy the same, that’s why I can’t decide.

Thanks in advance :)
I prefer the TT blue Sub over the blue DJ41. I wear mine with any attire, jeans and t-shirt, business casual, blaser, doesn't matter. The dial is amazing and has a much nicer response to a direct light. No washed out grayish reflection. I like the DJ, don't get me wrong. It's just that to me, the TT Sub offers a lot more impact for the money. Best value at this price point. I find it very satisfying to wear. Ideally, I'd own both, but if I have to choose, Sub by a mile. This is personal, YMMV.

I think the LV, LB and BLNR would be my choice.

Having had all 4, none of them now, this is how I would rank them:

1- SubLV - only reason I don’t own it still is I just wanted to try to be a one and done watch person. Needed all black for that.

2 - BLNR - If it wasn’t for the lugs it would still be on my wrist.

3 - datejust 41 - the one that got away. Might get it again, best blue dial ever. Just a huge ceramic bezel fan, didn’t love the fluted bezel.

4- Bluesy - had it THREE times! Loved the blue bezel, hated the blue dial, too light neon blue. If it had the dial of the datejust, would still be on my arm. The TT did feel a bit 80s to me as well.

BLNR isn’t going anywhere. Question is if I keep DJ41 with two others (BLNR and LV) or switch/exchange it with LB.

Anyone with BLNR, LV and LB in their collection?

Again - after having all of them. The datejust is better than the LB. Especially in your collection. It is more unique. Photos are way better than IRL with the LB.

I knew I liked you... GMTII is one of the greatest watches ever made.

I would give up the DJ for a LB because the LB dresses up as much or better than the DJ, but either way, you will have a gorgeous three watch collection.

I would agree if they fix the lugs. Having had it, I will get it again minus the supercase. They stick out like sore thumbs. Rolex are you listening?

Ah, ok, i misunderstood. Then, I would flip the LV toward the LB, leaving DJ + BLNR + TT LB Sub.

I was in a similar situation as I have a blue DJ41, and wanted a two tone sub. At the end of the day, I chose the more versatile one for my attire so I went with a 126613LN. No regrets at all as I always found the bluesy striking in pictures but when I put it on my wrist at the AD, a bit too much for my taste.

I had the black dial two tone submariner and I ended up selling it to find another purchase. I regret selling it so much. Two tone submariners are crazy under rated

DJ and Bluesy are two completely different style of watches.....personally, I like a mix of sports and daily wear watches so I would add the Bluesy instead



Current collection: 1) Rolex Submariner(116610LV), 2) Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch Professional(311.30.42.30.01.006), 3) Rolex GMT-Master II(126710BLNR), 4) Breitling B01 Navitimer 43(AB0138211B1A1)

I just wanted to update you guys, how I decided...

I added LV to the collection. DJ41 is staying and I won't trade it for LB.

So now I have three watch collection, BLNR, DJ41 and LV.
And I'm more than happy.

Picture follows

I would just add if I were you. Your collection then gives you more diversity. Blue dial TT Sub may not work on some occasions as said, being too blingy.

Get the Bluesy.

That blue dial is unbeatable. Most beautiful dial Rolex makes.
