thank you guys! I think so to, and indeed rotating them every 2 week for example is a great option :-)))

Well, get a watch that you like. Don’t base your purchase on demand...

These watches are in high demand but I don’t like the way they look in person.

GMT BLNR
Hulk
James CAMERON DSSD
White Ceramic Daytona
43SD

I much prefer:
GMTc LN or a new Coke
Regular Subc or a new upgraded with red font
Don’t like sea dwellers at all unless I am going down in the trenches.
Black dial SS or SSc Daytona and for the price TT Daytona is Best Buy right now.

They are perfect together. If you throw a 116610LN in the mix even better.

Very similar watch and I would prefer to change it up a bit. I would choose the 114060 over the GMT and follow up with a Polar Explorer II. Two great watches and very distinctive looks.

In my opinion, those two watches are the two best stainless steel sports models Rolex produces. A great combination.

I have a 116610LN paired with a 116710LN. Looks similar, but then, oh so different...go for it. Subs and GMTs are meant as a pair...

Doesn’t work for me. Too similar in color. For me I would get BLNR to go with no date.

Very slippery slope you're on. Buy a watch because you're in love with it...not because it works with another watch.

Honest opinion about 114060 AND 116710LN together

I guess by that logic all cars are similar

I think there are many of us who would want/have a Gmt, a Sub, and a Daytona in their collection. So just a Sub and GMT is not crazy.

Similar look, diff functions...do you travel at all?

Between different functions and the shiny bracelet on GMT, different enough for different purposes to justify them. But if it is BLNR you really want, work on sourcing one of them instead. The LN may be easier to get, but still not "what you really wanted.'

Great combo, but both being black are too similar. I’d add BLNR or white EXPII

Pretty redundant in my mind. They are too similar. 114060 and maybe the 116713...for some variety....

If that’s what you like, there’s nothing wrong with that. I have a 114060 and BLNR and sometimes they feel very similar. But they wear very differently so I don’t mind having both.

I am very unsure about the BLNR myself. I must say that i love that watch, however it is a bit to extremely to me... Don't know how to say.. Perhaps i would go with one after but i am still unsure... I think if you ask me honestly what watch do you ike more besides the resale etc.. it would be the full black as it is ways more versatile to me... I like very versatile watches cause my mood seems to ''swing'' completely from hour to hour. I am probably the only ones with those mood swings crazymcmichael you see LOL

Sub and GMT are too similar for a small collection, IMO.

Too many interesting watches out there to stick to those two.

A great combo to have. Similar enough in style but in no way redundant.

IMHO both are great watches, but it would be silly. The watches have the exact same expression, so just figure out if you want the GMT function or not. If you really want a sub and GMT, get one ceramic and one none-ceramic.
