Great collection. BLNR or LVc would add some nice color.

you have too many divers watches already so i suggest a BLNR GMT or EXP 2 with white dial for its 2nd time zone feature or the newblue dialed Milgauss to be totally different...but if you really must have another dive watch then it should be the 116610LV for variety against the black dialed black bezeled DSSD and SD4000

BLNR and/or something solid gold, like the GMT Greenface YG.

Beautiful watch collection. Congrats.

Take another look at the DJII. It might make a nice change for the collection.

A BLNR would be a nice compliment. Useful complication and some color.

Thanks for all your input everyone. I actually saw the SubC-ND last week and although in January I loved it, it wasn't a patch on the SD4000.

There wouldn't be a time when I'd use the SubC-ND instead of the SD4000.

The BLNR GMT is a favourite on here and in this thread but even though I love the watch and the colours on the bezel, I don't think it is for me.

The shocker though is the Hulk. As you can see from Tuffstangs post, the 'green' is to Rolex as 'orange' is to Omega. Originally I didn't like the new Rolex green but after seeing it on display in a window with the spotlights over it, I was blown away!

I think the Hulk is definitely the way forward for me! Might have to trade in the Breitlings for it as I can't justify having so many watches.

At least the Hulk will look different than your other watches. It sells at a premium, but I've seen several sellers on this site selling Hulks for great prices.

BLNR GMT is an awesome watch but the black face will get lost amongst the other watches.

Same with the Daytona, my whole collection is predominantly chronographs.

The Hulk will stand out due to the colour :)

Just curious, what religion prohibits gold? Don't answer if you don't want for privacy reasons.

I have known a number of Muslims who wore YG DDs. And naturally Christian televangelists (TV preachers) wear luxury watches, usually with diamonds. In America, Jews definitely will wear precious metals but there are different degrees of devoutness.

In Islam men are forbidden to wear gold. This is explicitly stated in the Quran as far as I can remember, unless someone can correct me.

There is some scientific evidence to back this up, as gold can be absorbed in the bloodstream over a long period of time. This can potentially lead to Alzheimers disease, whereas in women there is no link. However, it is supposedly beneficial for those suffering from arthritis. Any medics/scientists on here who can clarify?

Am sure some more educated on here can enlighten me further. Am not an expert and I do not want to pretend to be one!

My understanding on it is gold or any precious metals, diamonds etc and even silk are meant to be rewards once you reach paradise and so a reward in the after life and not during life, where as with women it is allowed but I'm unsure why, but then as with everything there are different views and opinions based on culture and even various prophets views.

I'd add color. Gold, rose gold, hulk, Bluesy.
But regardless, great collection!

I echo the sentiments of everyone else so far saying you are a great collection this far.

After reading all the comments I still think getting a sub ND will complete your diver collection! I say go for it and it is not too similar, very subtle, yet important differences.

However, if you do want something different I would still go for the daytona. But to be it feels like you want the ND. Go get it and show is the trifecta!

Fully agree with this colour of thought, the orange PO was a real favourite of mine and a green Rolex is a great idea. Yellow dial Breitling completes a nice colour set.

BLNR or Daytona (even if you aren't sold on it, I'm still recommending it!)
