I’m getting the itch to add another Rolex to my collection. Currently have a Bluesy (116613LB) and a 16710 Pepsi. Top choice would be a white-dial 116500 Daytona, but I’m not willing to pay the premium. I’ve got my name in at a few AD’s, so maybe someday I’ll get the call.

I am strongly considering the Hulk or GMT BLNR. Can’t believe the market for the Hulk right now. I was somewhat confident that I’d be getting one eventually, and they were always available at every AD I walked into. I even turned down a discounted Hulk for $8500 from an AD because I thought they’d always be at the ready. Then I decided to get serious about one a few months ago and they’re impossible to find!

In a normal situation, I’d walk into an AD and try on the Hulk and BLNR side by side to decide. Unfortunately that’s not an option these days.

So what do you guys think I’d get the best use out of, combined with my current lineup of 116613LB and 16710 Pepsi?

You have a GMT and a Sub so unless you’re a huge fan of one type or the other, try something different. Daytona would be a great choice but I prefer the SS 116520 over the ceramic. The hype and ludicrous premiums have turned me right off.

Another one I’d consider is the SS or TT SkyD.

Good luck

I'd probably go for the BLNR if you can find one at close to retail from a TS here. Think the LVc has long gone now. Or maybe upgrade to full YG Bluesy.
