Companion piece for BLNR

BLNR is my only watch currently. Thoughts on a good companion piece? Maybe Black Bay or no date Sub? Or dare I say it, HULK?

Hulk would be a good choice, or perhaps a daytona? A Datejust would give you a bit more of a dressy watch to go with the BLNR for daily use.

I've got a BLNR, and my favorite companion piece would be my Black Bay Bronze. Also sporty but a completely different vibe. I've got Subs and SD's too, and frankly they don't feel or look different enough from the BLNR to make them a great addition. A 2-tone DJ41 would also be cool, and the Everose with chocolate dial is in my sights and one your might consider.

Submariner is always a nice companion for the GMT.

The BLNR is versatile in being sporty and dressy. So for carefree days where you're casual and the days don't matter, I would suggest clean dateless look of a Black Bay, Submariner or Daytona.

Hulk is a good choice. How about an SD4K? DJ is good too, I think the SS blue dial options are great looking.

For what my opinion is worth, a no date sub or a datejust would be perfect.

Yeah, don't say hulk.

But you can buy the green sub.
The LV sub.

A different dial color other than black.

Explorer 2 is beautiful and best price.

The blue Pelagos (dive watch) is a good companion of the BLNR (GMT watch) if you like the blue hue.

If Rolex than i'd go with:
diver - Submariner no date or
chrono - Daytona

If non-Rolex I'd go with:
diver - Tudor Black Bay or
chrono - Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch

Datejust would be great for diversity, if you want to stay in a more sporty mode then 114060 would be great as well.

Explorer 1, the new one.

The perfect 2 watch collection.

+1 for updated Explorer I, perfect for days when you want Rolex, but without the attention.

DSSD-Blue is a perfect match, unfortunately I don't have a picture of both together.
