Man after mine own heart, Steve. I'd also pick the green and blue dials, only both the sub's versions.

Agreed, it's a win either way, Neil!

Are you enjoying your LVc? It's been my go-to watch on weekends without a second thought. I love mine.

I really do like it, more than I thought I would. My fav SS watch so far.

I think if I had a Daytona, Sub LV, GMT BLNR and Explorer 1 I'll have a fantastic SS base to build upon and look to PP for precious metal dress watches.

My current herd, but admittedly I do daydream about turning them into a BLRO.

Hang on to the LVc and flip the other two towards a BLRO.

Sub and GMT, SS and PM. Game. Set. Match.

This is a conversation I have had often with my watchloving friends.
I wouldn't hate to have a BLRO next to my SD4K, but given the choice I would eventually prefer the 4 SS models.

And it would be these 4:
-116600 (my favorite SS model, and the only one I own)
-116610 LV (nice to have Submariner Date with some color)
-114610 (the classic clean looking Submariner)
-116710 BLNR (3 divers is enough, so lets bring in a GMT)

And as long as we are dreaming, the BLNR would be changed as soon as they release a SS GMT Coke.

A white gold green dial DayDate and GMTIIc LN.

I'm halfway there. Well in quantity of watches, if not in value.

Perfectly happy with my 3 SS models but I wouldn't mind having a DD and a SS sub/gmt. I'm in my early 30's so I think SS works better for me right now but would like a PM piece when I'm 40+.

Not a PM guy, but I'd have to take 1 SS and 1 DD!

It depends on whether you're trying to expand your collection or to consolidate

For me it'd be the DD RG olive dial against this combo: SD43, YM, Exp, Milgauss GV. Right now I'd rather go with the latter, as much as I find the DD quite stunning.

Was that a straight add? Either way, congrats on a great watch! Just awesome.

My current collection, but I have toyed with the idea of keeping the sd43 and flipping the rest for an RG sky D with chocolate dial.
Also, however, SS Sky D coming so maybe 4 x SS and flip the dj41.
Choices, choices, choices.

A killer Everose or yellow gold Day-Date 40 with classic hour markers and the Explorer I already have would be my combo.

I haven not voted yet. This is super tough for me. On one hand I really like some of the WG dials that are not available on SS models. On the other hand I tend to really wear my watches my watches so the thought of having a soft case really scares me. So I will probably end up voting 4 SS models.
