Since nobody said it yet a polar Explorer II. You don't need another black dial.

Blue Sky-Dweller, Polar Explorer II, Pepsi GMT, or go for a curve ball and get a vintage Day-Date which will be completely different from what you already own.

Something that isn't a black dial would be nice but the Pepsi works as an option because of the bi-colored bezel and the jubilee bracelet.

A GMT or SkyDweller would complement your existing two-piece collection

I think BLNR would be the perfect addition, or even the Pepsi. Whichever speaks to you more

I’d trade your black sub for a hulk or bluesy and be done. If you wanted to after that then sky d or gmt.

Can't you give it a compliment yourself ? It'll probably be much cheaper.

I’ve has some friends say that my Daytona and Sub are too much alike. I don’t see it at all. At all. Anyway, what do you fellas think is a great piece to compliment these 2 watches. Not looking to spend more than 15k. Thanks! All the best
Non watch people see the same black white silver watch. Add some pop, some color. Maybe a blro gmt or a blue sky-d for traveling. You might find a splash of color really draws the compliment from strangers in public.

I’d get either a black GMT or a Sea Dweller. Then they will realize that the Daytona really doesn’t look the same as the Sub!

Agree RTG. Non watch guys just see color, oh both your Rolex’s are black, too similar. Thanks for all the feedback fellas. A lot of good choices. Will have to try them on before pulling out the credit card. Unfortunately with the Sky Dweller and ceramic GMT’s, waits are long. Already on a list for the Blue Sky and BLRO. Haven’t seen either in the flesh yet.

2 beauties in your collection, I would add an Exp II Polar or DJ 41 with white or silver dial. It would be a nice change to the black dials you currently have.

Noting your above 3 choices and seeing what you have, I would get the CHNR; It would add GMT function with a sweet TT look to your collection.

1. Sell the Submariner and buy the white DaytonaC.

2. Buy:
a) Sky-Dweller White;
b) Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Ti Blue;
c) VC Overseas Blue.

Definitely a GMT, any of the current are great. I would like to suggest a 1675.

Time for some brand diversity. Perhaps the IWC portuguese with the in-house movement, a JlC true second, or GS with a lighter dial. Of course if Rolex, I would go polar explorer.-either the new version or if you are like myself with small wrists perhaps the old version.
