Call it a day for a long time at least.
Recently bought a Hublot classic fusion which I absolutely love.
Perfect dress down and up watch. Leather, and white dial. One of the most aesthetic watches I have come across.

I am rushing it but I really want a Rolex GMT.
Also can't help but feel I need to make up for my time of not having any interest in watches. This is a good start for a collection of about 4/5 quality watches by the next 5 years or so.
Thinking of getting the GMT. Steel and black dial, and a stunner as well.
Haven't fully made my mind up on the black or BLNR(leaning more towards the black) but feel I can't go wrong with either.

Suggestions?

Congratulations!
Great start with a very nice Hublot.
The BLNR would be my choice.

LN.....but I'm biased.

Don't rush it if you aren't ready. The watches aren't going anywhere.

Can't go wrong with either.

Thanks for the response!
BLNR also extremely beautiful. Both have a different charm.

Honestly been looking at my first Rolex for a long time, and have no doubt this is the one.
I feel though it is very soon after the Hublot, it isn't a wrong time as I am not financially tied, and could use a nice start on my collection. Also will have a watch to serve for both purposes. Dressy, and casual. The GMT obviously being a much more durable watch for days when that's what I need.

Both are winners. I have both and would let go of the ln before the blnr because I like a bit of color. Those palm trees have me jealous right now. I am freezing my butt off

Definitely.
Benefit I see on the LN is that it is easy to mix it up with leather/perlon/rubber. Things work easier with black generally.
Just like you, I also love the added color on the BLNR.
Will take a closer look and finalise my decision before I choose one though.
27 degrees celcius in my side of the world at this time.

moving a LN now for the BLNR - just need that extra pop IMO and will make a great casual companion to my everyday Subc

Speed · 3 March 2015, 11:45 AM

LN will be more versatile imo.

watchwatcher · 3 March 2015, 11:46 AM

Take your time, no need to rush into a decision.

I like the LN better, (but then again I've had both

).. but you need to figure that one out for yourself.

fdm79 · 3 March 2015, 11:49 AM

Hummmm... Although I really like the LN, BLNR all the way !

nintendo · 3 March 2015, 02:39 PM

Had a LN. Flipped for a BLNR. BLNR is actually just as versatile as a LN. The blue is not overly striking.

tomcorkery · 3 March 2015, 03:01 PM

like the blnr as well. What a beautiful hublot

Thank you.
And yes BLNR is awesome too

Singslinger · 3 March 2015, 06:56 PM

Wait for Basel.

For all we know, Rolex may release a steel Coke GMT (red/black bezel).

Bangel · 3 March 2015, 07:01 PM

My personal preference is for the black insert.

Isaactanjs · 3 March 2015, 07:37 PM

LN.. a bit biased too. :p

rokosh · 3 March 2015, 08:14 PM

All the best for calling it a day..been trying that for years now

lapince · 3 March 2015, 08:36 PM

Well I had the BLNR so I would advice that one, very nice watch, may I suggest seeing into Patek? They have the Aquanaut 5167 in SS for around 17K, it's a super watch, thin, ultra comfortable, way more than Rolex and very under the radar, basically apart from a WIS no one will know what you have on your wrist, whereas with Rolex everyone knows what you have on your wrist...

Though I do love that piece, it is way too pricey for me.
I simply can't afford that kind of watch at this time.
