What Next? BNLR?

I'm trying to decide what watch to get next. I attached a shot of my current collection below. I'm not looking to get rid of anything, just take the Garmin out of the box and add one watch. My initial thought is BLNR, but I'd like to get some input from you guys. I'm open to any brands. I'd prefer to keep it under $10k, but am willing to stretch it to $15k for the right watch. Thanks in advance for your replies!

Why not, it's one of the hottest watch right now. The hulk or Deep Blue will be cool also.

As the owner of a BLNR, I can't help but wonder what is more important to us WISes.

The bezel or the GMT complication.

How about a 16718? Should be able to find one for under 15k. GMT complication and add some gold to your collection...

Surely it has to be either GMT or Sub?

You just follow your initial thought because adding the BLNR in your collection is an excellent choice from aesthetics and functions of this watch.

You have a fine diver in the Black Bay, so why not go with the BLNR.

I personally consider the 14060(M) to be the quintessential diver, so owning one, I don't feel compelled to own another diver at this time, perhaps ever.

But if I had your collection, I'd lean heavily toward the GMTII, just because it is so versatile and the BLNR, specifically, because the bezel is magnificent.

Well rounded collection. Very nice.

I would say BLNR or LVc. As you already have a Tudor dive. I would lean more towards a BLNR

A wonderfully diverse collection you have there!

I think the BLNR would be a wonderful addition.

I have to agree with Fred.

I might even go so far as to say I would move a few in the box to make room for all three.

I agree with Fred and Larry! Although I favor the white dial EX2.
