Buy a gmt or daytona, a bit less common

Or go PM, that will solve most of the problem

I’m not hating on the sub at all nor am I looking for an excuse to sell it. I knew I wasn’t buying an “exclusive” watch when I bought my sub but at the same time I didn’t think I would see so many of them. I bought the watch because I wanted the most versatile, all around sports model and that happened to be the sub date. Again, no regrets with that decision.

I did consider a LV but I’m just not too crazy about the green and the black is just so sleek and classy. I traded my ND sub for the Date and would never go back. I will consider the bluesy in the future maybe when I’m older but for now I’m going to stick with my black sub date.

Conspiracy theorists say the former situation has resulted in Rolex's causing the latter.

Already have the BLNR and it’s my favorite piece. I think I’ve only seen one in the wild so far. Daytona would be awesome, just not in a position to get one anytime soon, unless they become more available which I doubt. Same with PM, I will consider one when the time comes but unfortunately won’t be any time soon..

When I purchased my Sub C Bluesy I wasn't thinking how many are
out in the wild... The only thing I knew was that's the watch that
made my heart sing... Enjoy it or swap it for a Bluesy...

I had a 116610LN and I traded it to buy a BLNR as I found the 116610LN just a bit bland.

I much prefer the Blnr and I’ve now added a Hulk and ND to my collection.

I’d lose the LN and maybe get an LV instead.

I love my Sub Bluesy - it's my 'go-to' watch in my humble collection. I haven't seen many in the wild lately but if I did, it wouldn't bother me in the least. In fact, it gives a reason to strike up a conversation if I did see someone else wearing one. Don't concern yourself with what everyone else is doing, just do what you like for you. Enjoy your Sub - it's a classic for a reason!

When you hit 50 treat yourself with this one.

I always love this forum and how we can be complete opposites . I did the exact opposite traded my BLNR for a Sub C date. I got caught up in the fad a couple years ago and realized I am not a major GMT fan and to much going on. I actually wanted bland lol.
