Thoughts please.

[melrob1]

Hi everyone.

Would love some of your thoughts on what to do. SS Daytona is moving out. Just not loving it as much as I did when I first got it. I also have a Sub C No Date. I'm set on replacing the Daytona with the BLNR but I think the No Date is really close looks wise to the BLNR. I know the BLNR will end up being my daily. Do I keep my ND and the BLNR or should I also trade my ND for a 39 mm Explorer. Think the Exp changes it up a bit. Also could get a rubber strap for the ND and have something a bit different if I keep that. Last option is to trade ND for the SD4K. Thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks.

Trade Daytona and ND for SDc+BLNR

[Etschell]

trade the daytona for the 116613.

trade the subc for an explorer 2 polar.

[bkertzer89]

what about selling the ND and saving up for a all gold gmt?

I would also consider a date just instead of explorer

[h999r]

I will keep the daytona and add BLNR , so you have 1 chrono dial watch and non chrono dial watch .
Awesome collection.

or the blnr + 14060M

I think a white dial Daytona and ND sub or BLNR would be perfect combos.
Otherwise, I think blnr and explorer would work pretty good too.

[Spartacus]

For a daily wearer, BLNR is a little blingy for my taste, ND is a lot easier to wear on a daily basis. No PCLs and all black.

I would pickup a ND or Sub as a daily.

[ROLEX*]

Sell the Daytona + ND and buy BLNR. Maintain only one watch if you are not a watch collector or rich.

Surplus money can go into investment

I don't think it's wise because he said that BLNR IS CLOSE LOOK TO ND,
SDc and BLNR will give the same combo !!

That's why he put it as the last (usually least favorable) option.

[1995akcoop]

keep daytona!!! out goes the sub, in gmt. The explorer is just too plain.

[JeremyS]

I'm not sure the ND is that similar. Sure, it has a bezel, but it's also got all brushed links. The Explorer really isn't that different, either. If you like the size of the Explorer and want some color variation, perhaps the new Oyster Perpetuals would brighten things up. They are the same size/movement as the Explorer I, but have a wider selection of dial options.

No. All his selection options in the original thread are Sport models.

If go for non-Sport model, go for the best - Day Date President

Another vote for this

[daftsham]

Like you, I'm just not digging the current SS Daytonas. Something about the bezel, just wish they update it with a ceramic one.

Personally, I chose to go with the BLNR+Hulk. I prefer colours over monochrome.

Another vote for this option. If the SDc didn't work out, you can always flip it down the road for an EXP.

The BLNR and the Hulk is a nice duo.

I vote take it one step at a time.

Trade your Daytona for a BLNR, and then see what you like and what would be a good compliment to it.

No reason to rush a move.

Thank you and that is what I decided. Already boxed the Daytona up and ready to go. I'll see what happens after a few weeks and go from there. I'm thinking Everest band for the ND. Wonder if the my ND bracelet will work on the blnr? Thanks again everyone!

Smart move. I believe they can be switched out. Someone will be along to correct me if I'm wrong.

[Foxglove]

BLNR and ExpII

or

BLNR and ExpI 36mm version.

[bbressler]

I have a GMTc and an Explorer and think they make a lovely pair.

[Kevan]

If you can afford it, get the BLNR and keep the others. In the future you will have to pay a great deal more than what you get when you realise that you miss them.

Easy to say, but that was my decision when I bought the Daytona last month.

I agree with this. Get the SD4K and the BLNR if that's what suites you. Although the ND and BLNR are not all that similar. When on your wrist, there's a big difference in looks, and also function. I'm partial to the SD4K because I wear one daily, and love it. I've gone through many sport model Rolex watches, and when I strapped on the SD4K, I knew I had found "the one".

The ND bracelet should fit directly onto the BLNR.
