Slight dilemma
Hi guys,
I currently own 116610LV, 126710BLNR, 126200 blue dial and 126600. Been wearing my 126600 as daily for 3 years and felt that it's a little thick as compared to my other watches. I have been contemplating of selling my 126600 and get either a black sub or 116710LN instead (looking for another black dial and black bezel). Currently, it's leaning towards 116710LN as i feel that it is cheaper than the 126610LN and yet you get the GMT function (grey pricing wise). There aren't many black dial with black bezel and date watch in the catalogue to choose from. Appreciate any input provided. Thanks for looking. |

As someone who‘s dailied an LN GMT for years and actually is wearing it right now, I can wholeheartedly recommend it.

126710LN is a great reference, but you already have the BLNR. After owning both, I think there is redundancy there.
if the SD43 is too thick for you, then I'd get the sub date as I think it could coexist with the BLNR. |

I already owned a 11 series sub LV as well you see haha.. If i were to get a black sub date i will probably get the 12 series but Grey wise it is more expensive than the GMT LN. |

Your BLNR is nearly all black. Why don't you just wear that?

You already have a batman. I think getting an all black gmt is really excessive. If the batman isn't black enough for you, then get the Sub. It's basically a smaller version of your SD.

I am wearing that at the moment but feel that it is a little flashy due to the jubilee bracelet.

Still thinking if the slimmer lugs are worth few thousands more... If there is 126710LN, that would be amazing! |

If you’re good at tinkering, you could put your 116610LV brushed bracelet on your BLNR in a matter of minutes. Makes a huge difference.

I’d personally stay right where you are. You have a very nice collection and the SD43 is a great watch to rotate in and out of your mix
