BLNR and IWC. Covers everything: dress and casual, two different metals, and of course having more total complications automatically makes a watch better, right ;)

watch wise I would pick 1, however I don't want to deal with any headache of owning and maintaining any IWC complication.

As a result I have to go for 2 of these options.

Quoting envuks: "I prefer the CHNR above all these other watches.

However, the better pair here to own, imho, is the BLNR and IWC. Reason being is that they are closer to equal footing. You’ll be more likely to reach for them equally rather than one of them attracting more love than the other.

With the CHNR and OP, the CHNR will dominate. Which will make the OP feel less enjoyable over the long run.

This is just my personal opinion. I currently own a two rolex collection with a 116718 and 116500. I feel they’re close to equal players and it keeps me loving both kids equally.

Can’t really go wrong here though."


... This is a well-thought out response by envuks and makes sense. I have a 116610LN and 126710BLNR which I love "equally" and are, as envuks calls it, close to "equal footing". That's why I wear them about equally.

BLNR. I recently got one so I may be biased.
