Unless you are set on keeping the Explorer, I would get rid of that one and add a GMT (preferably BLNR), if I were you. However, the GMT LN would make a nice replacement to the Explorer as the LN is all black.

The TT blue Sub is aruguably one of the best looking Rolex watches ever made. For me, that would be a keeper and is different enough in appearance to the LV to warrant being in the same collection.

I agree with many on this thread and say the LV and GMT make a great pair. Here are mine to enable you a little bit more.

No need as I believe the Oyster on the 16710 came with an all brushed finish and the PCL's arrived with the ceramic 116710.

Curious.... in what way is the Sub more versatile than the GMT?

OP, I'd give up one of the Subs for a GMT in a minute with your travels. Both are nice to have.

Just buy what makes you happy! I am a GMT fan, but don't let that sway you.
