What next - #3? Opinions welcome please :-)

Hey there wise forum. So far I'm a newbie with a Rolex 114060, and a birth year (my son) PAM 028.

I'm pondering a third and options are BLNR, HULK, or possibly another... Any thoughts or suggestions?

BLNR. You already have a sub, so no need for the Hulk.

I already had a YG Sub, so I thought the same thing when the Hulk came out. But you HAVE to look at the Hulk. There's no in between: You'll either absolutely love it, or you'll utterly loath it. But here's my point: There's nothing else like it -- even other Subs.

I try to rotate, but The Hulk gets twice the wrist time of any other.

Nice watches! How about a DateJust for a nice night out?

White dial DJ2 or white dial Explorer II if you want a GMT watch.

If you are set on a sports watch, get a GMT!

Speedy is awesome! Great suggestion. Bluesy the ultimate watch but outside my price range.

Add some color. Between BLNR and Hulk, I vote Hulk. But I agree with those who have advised getting something a little different - a DJ, an ExpII, or a Speedy would all be great choices.

What about switching the brand to either omega, hublot, IWC, breitling, JLC, etc.? Something different to get a different look and versatility. If you're choosing a Rolex, I'd say either a DJ with a blue or white dial OR a polar explorer II.

BLNR. That would really balance out your collection. The LV is not a bad choice either as the green sunburst dial is truly something else.

BLNR and Hulk are both good choices. Agree that Explorer II should be in the running, as should DateJust and DateJust II.

I'd say a white face 3 hand or chronograph. IMO, the BLNR looks like a Sub with a GMT hand and half blue bezel. Too similar in my eyes to add it to what you have.

If it has to be Rolex then I would suggest a Daytona. But I think you can get a bit more creative...
