So I have a white 116520 which I love even with the new 116500s out there.

I would love to get the Yachmaster Rose Gold, but the wife will kill me. So I had my mind set on a 114060 (not a huge fan of cyclops) and while I love the 116600 I like the balance of the no date on the Sub....

BUT....

I keep seeing folks with the BLNR on this forum and I am starting to think it may be the next one...

Ah Decisions! I would have to deal with the cyclops, but.... so for a 2nd rolex what do you think ? BLNR or 114060?

I also have a white Breitling World Navitimer on Croco Brown leather which I really enjoy...

Well?

That's tough. The 114060 is a fantastic do anything watch. I take it on vacation with no worries and it's truly a great piece. That being said, the BLNR is getting all of my wrist time at the moment. You do already have one ND watch so that may help. Then again, there are the PCLs to consider.

LightOnAHill · 13 June 2016, 01:10 PM

Just determine the road to the YM. Then walk it. May take longer to stave off sudden death, but it'll be sooner enjoyed if you don't meander.

Mr. K · 13 June 2016, 01:15 PM

My vote...sub.true classic.

Slippy Chips · 13 June 2016, 01:16 PM

I think either is a great choice to compliment your Daytona. I like your taste as I have a fairly similar collection. FWIW the cyclops has grown on me. If you mainly like the BLNR because other like it then I would say go with the Sub. Get what you like the most when you have it on your wrist.

Great Picture and shows why this is such a hard decision!

Gotgolf52 · 13 June 2016, 02:12 PM

I would go for the Sub but I am bias

It is not what others like, I just never considered it and as I have stalked the forums I have seen it a bunch and the color and look is growing on me... I admit I need to try it on to see if it sings on the wrist! The YM is the ultimate goal but I have an itch to scratch now.... I am thinking I will try on the BLNR and see what I think, but if it is not drastic I may go 114060 so that the YM is a few thousand closer in reach :)

will be my wife hitting me over the head... now if only I could sell my Tag Carrara Calibre 16 Chrono for a bit of scratch to help the cause lol

To me it sounds as if the everose YM is the piece in which you truly desire. If this is the case. Then I wouldn't be diverting your watch funds, to a piece that's served purpose is to scratch the "itch". My suggestion for a happy medium, would be the new two tone everose/steel yachtmaster. Just my 0.02 cents

Don't drink the BLNR kool-aid unless you were after that flavor before reading this forum. That being said....it really is a nice watch and it has grown on me.

Steve36Efc · 13 June 2016, 04:23 PM

I love them both but if your unsure of the Cyclopes then go with the 114060

sensui · 13 June 2016, 04:40 PM

Between those two, have to pick the blnr.

1William · 13 June 2016, 09:02 PM

I like both but would go for the Sub hands down. The glidelock is great. On the price difference you can pick up a pre-owned Speedy.

Maiden · 13 June 2016, 10:12 PM

You must get what you like but if it was me, 114060. If you don't like the Cyclops be careful, try them both on. If you buy smart you will lose virtually no money if you need to flip the 114060.

ragingcao · 13 June 2016, 10:14 PM

Sub

AK797 · 13 June 2016, 10:17 PM

Sell the Breitling and go for the YM. We have enough BLNRs round here.

If no cyclops and a bit of blue is desired take a look at the DSSD Dblue. If you've got average to large size wrist, it can really be a special piece. Hard to find at an AD to try for size but same exact watch as it's black faced cousin so try on a standard DSSD for size

This was my exact thinking on my Submariner/Sea-Dweller debate; if I go Sub I could throw in a Speedy.

Let's face it...you're going to need both.

Just pick the one you like best, or flip a coin. I personally would go BLNR.

Thats a cool look, but I love the look of the ever rose against the matte black bezel.... To your point the wife would prefer I don't scratch and wait for the grail piece as well, of course she may make me wait a long time lol :)

I really like my World Navi, esp on the croco leather strap, of course I was a bit heftier when I got it and so I needed the big face, now that I have slimmed down it is a bit large, but it was my first major watch purchase and a gift from the missus for my 30th so it is not sellable :)

The Daytona was really the straw that broke the camels back cause now I have the serious itch :)

Here's my advice... (but then again I am biased)
