To change GMT or not… batgirl vs GRNR

Interesting you say that J Rell! I had a Starbucks previously too and considering adding again as the 2nd piece. Would you go mk1 or mk2 bezel? I had a mk1 last time

lol me too! I had the MK1. I am going for the MK2. I saw it at my AD, the green is more vibrant, a true green. But I do like forest green more, so it is tough. I think the BLNR being more black, can’t go wrong with a more vibrant green, right? You truly can’t go wrong with either. On the list for that and the Daytona SS black dial which I will never get. Good luck and will look out for your progress!

Coming from a guy that has owned just about them all,…….keep your BLNR. It’s too nice and checks too many boxes. I know what I speak. You will regret trading it and repurchasing it is gonna cost you big $$$$.

I would add and might suggest adding from another brand to keep your collection fresh. Rolex is middle of the ground mainstream in design. Other brands can offer brighter colors and other signature designs that will only complement your Rolex models. If you really want to throw down for the ultimate Rolex pairing, go for a SS Daytona with your BLNR. There is a reason many of use consider the ultimate Rolex paring is a GMT BLNR/BLRO and a SS Daytona.
When in doubt, do nothing.

The BLNR looks so good in that picture! And you still prefer it over BLRO?

I prefer the blue on BLNR it’s a proper blue!

I do love the Daytona panda 116 but could probably only justify having it on its own as grey market prices around 22k ish £

GRNR!!! I absolutely love this watch and it's stunning in person. I am on the list with my two ADs and I am impatiently waiting a call. I cannot wait to get this watch on my wrist - so much so that I'm considering going grey.

Interesting, I've been thinking about the sub again. Why the LV? Give us the pitch as a companion to the BLNR.

Such sage advice... when in doubt do nothing. I'm reaching right now for a Exp1. I need to let the watch come to me, which is the opposite of a sales person's mentality.

Not too much of a pitch. The sub and sub date LN are just a bit too similar to the BLNR in a small collection for me personally. I had both pairs before. The LV feels like a very different watch than the BLNR to me. So basically for variety.

No offense to anyone who owns the GRNR, but it’s just ugly, when compared to the BLNR on Jubilee.

I think I am set against not moving to the GRNR now, at least that’s clarified in my head!

Now still potentially thinking of adding a second - Starbucks mk1/2, bluesy 2 tone.. I love blue

Or to sell and just get one grail watch which would be either a panda 116 or a full gold yellow bluesy

I guess it’s over to have the variety with 2 watches and also safer to not have all your money tied up in one so to speak

You need to be clear in your mind if one is good ..
If you can answer yes go for the Daytona …
If not then add to your batty girly ..
Don’t discount the hulk , they are close to same price as Starbucks now …

Nonsense. It’s almost the same watch bezel wise and to anyone more than about 10 feet away will appear pretty similar. Ugly!?

We like the same watches. I would add the LV first and let that sit, see how they pair. I also love full YG LB sub date! I am actually starting to like the LN YG as well.

Is the Daytona panda better/ worth 2 watches such as Batgirl + Starbucks

Oyster PCLs show wear quite easily though is the only thing against Daytona, I feel like most people baby Daytonas a bit more than most of the other line ups
