Combo 4 for me, because off the bigger difference between those 2.

If it were me: 2,1,3,4. But they are all great combos.

3 for sure, that's what I'm going with down the line. BLNR first, then Hulk down the line. As you've already got a fairly conservative watch, why not spice it up with two unique colored pieces?

Thanks all for the feedback, looks like option #1 or #3 stands out from the crowd........I'm going to go for #3, just placed myself on a waiting list for the Hulk yesterday, and will likely to purchase BLNR within 5 yrs time......

Again, thanks for all the opinions, guys~

Combo #3 -> 116610-LV (aka Sub-C Hulk) + 116710-BLNR
Perfect Combo IMO!

I'm in a similar situation... I already have a BLNR and i'm thinking about wich rolex will be my second whatch.
I think sub no dat very similar to BLNR, as de sub date as well, so i think i'm going to get the polar explorer 2.
Probally, that will be my choise.

I could live happily with combo #2,3, or 4.

Full disclosure, I am one of probably 3 people on the forum who is not a BLNR fan, so that combo would not be my top pick. Although many have that pair and it works quite well.

I would probably go with whatever combo gives you the EXP2 and the LV, for the variety afforded by the EXP with slightly larger case size and metal bezel. Followed by the black GMT/LV combo.

I vote for #2, the GMTc will have the classic black and white/silver look of a Rolex tool watch and the Sub will add a splash of color to the line up and it looks georgeous and you don't see it every day...
