Which Sub + (GMT or EXPII) Combo to buy??
Hi guys,

I just got myself a DJ41 (my first 'n only rolex so far) this month on a champagne dial w/ diamond markers+fluted bezel on a jubilee bracelet. I am starting out on what sub + (gmt or expii) combo to purchase next so I can wear on a daily basis (DJ41 will be formal wear, I guess, for that purpose), I thought u guys could give me some opinions on list of combos listed below. Which combo u think would be great to purchase(as you can see here, i'm trying to be dis-similar as possible, mainly on color variation):

Combo #1 -> 114060 (aka Sub-C ND) + 116710-BLNR
Combo #2 -> 116610-LV (aka Sub-C Hulk) + 116710-LN
Combo #3 -> 116610-LV (aka Sub-C Hulk) + 116710-BLNR
Combo #4 -> 116610-LV (aka Sub-C Hulk) + EXP-II(black dial)

What do you think, guys? Thanks for any feedback!

Combo #1 (I'm biased though lol, although I do also have the LVc. I ended up selling the BLNR, because between the LV and the SubC I didn't wear it)

Hulk and Batman is the modern dynamic duo. You can't beat those two in a fight, especially not together.

I'd take combo 1, but since you've specified you want dial colour variation, then you should go for combo 3

Having a BLNR, I must say I would love a reflecting dial (YM rhodium, or whatever...,)
So I would say Combo BLNR + colored dial :)
