GMT would be a nice addition to your sub, especially if you travel. If you think you may get more mileage out of a white dial watch, check out the Polar EXP II...
Good luck, happy hunting.... |

Looks like someone's been bitten by the bug obviously all depends what you're looking for in the new watch, what it's role to you personally is, and also what your budget is then we can suggest things that 'fit the bill'

X2 on a white dial. New Explorer II would be a nice contrast to the Sub. Alternatively, something dressier might work, a Datejust II is a sharp piece, the new 116300 looks stunning in the flesh

I completely agree in getting either explorerII or Migauss. The white dial of either is nice but either color is going to add a new facet to your collection.

Agree - - but, OP, please remember this was written by a guy who has just been infected by the 'Bug' recently, in an unusually bad way. Aww...what the heck, buy 'em both!! Good thing that Bug never got to me.....never got to me.......

Why not consider a 16710 either a Coke or Pepsi bezel? They can still be gotten from trusted TRF sellers at very good prices. An SS Daytona white dial would compliment your Sub C also very well. Either of these I think would add much more variety to your fledgling collecion and will balance out your Sub C nicely. The key with any Rolex only watch rotation I have found is that the pieces should different enough that they don't compete for wrist attention but rather offer a different look and style. You already have the stunning black ceramic. I think a GMT IIC is too similar. Also, the EXP II Polar 42 is a possibility but make sure you try it on first. It is definitely a larger diaL and sits way bigger than even the Sub Cl.

Whatever the model, I think I would look at a TT for contrast.

From the choices you mentioned, I think White dial Milgauss would be a good compliment as well as the GMT for additional functionality.

Good luck with the hunt! |

probably get the GMTIIc as it looks something unique and different from the (predictable) SubC.
or stay away from black bezel watches and get a Exp2 or MG or Exp. |

Go different. I had a DSSD and SubC as my first 2. I need much more variety so I went with a AP ROO chrono offshore. Don't buy another black dial black bezel watch. Get some variation.

Agreed with the sentiment above, go with something different. Polar ExpII, plat YM, or maybe a 16710 with the coke or Pepsi. If you go with another black dial black bezel watch you will get bored after a while. Whatever you choose, enjoy it!

My would suggest MilgaussGV, WG daytona w/leather strap or 16610lv (because u mentioned the hulk but I feel that is too green)
Or... If you don't mind venturing to another brand, I would defiantly suggest AP ROO safari. That one is a stunning piece. |

I am in a similar position. I have a sub c and am thinking of adding something else too.
For me, I've taken quite a liking to the GMT IIc. It has a rotating bezel and extra hour hand to play with and I think it looks good too! |
