Is having a stainless sub too similar to a gmt BLNR?

[GoGetter5832]

“Watch People” notice they are different. I understand how the bezels could look similar in different lighting but with the GMT on a jubilee, having an additional blue GMT hand and being a 40mm as opposed to a 41 there are noticeable differences. The green bezel is definitely a stunner but in my opinion is hard to wear for all occasions as the black bezel no date sub. It literally goes with every color no matter what you are wearing.

I have a BLNR (on oyster) and an 114060 among other watches. Having both are perfectly fine in a collection, and both get the most wrist time in my collection.

Too similar for me, the BLNR left the collection as a result. The Sub is more useful for me as a daily watch.

I also have both BLNR (jubilee) just wears different than my Sub Date and I appreciate the brushed bracelet on the Sub…

Been on the fence for a long time on whether there’s room in my collection for a stainless sub given the similarities.

What do you think? Are these watches too similar to have both?

I have the GMTs on the left and right, and want to add the Sub on a rubber strap as my daily wear, and that will be my entire set. Hopefully I'll get to this in 2-3 months.

Just put my sub on a rubber b strap a few days ago and absolutely love it - great contrast with my Pepsi on jubilee

Looking at your collection it seems you tend towards moderately sized pieces. I see you have a BB58 - this in itself nicely complements the Batgirl in my opinion. You will find the modern Sub wears larger than your BLNR on Jubilee so be prepared for that.

I have a 116610LN and a 126710BLNR (both on Oyster) and I still notice plenty of differences between the two. I wouldn’t sell either.

I would personally opt for the no date Sub (or the LV if you already have black dial options) to add further differences.

I have asked myself the same question. Still wrestling with this.
