BLNR I have one for sale lol . But really I am a huge fan of the SucC 116610LV that Rolex green is one of a kind.
The thing I love about the BLNR is that it's black as night blue as day and it's wonderful GMT complication.

As far as the AP I picked up the 37mm Royal Oak just two months ago. And it's changed my watch world. There is nothing like it and the attention to detail is incredible on the case and bracelet and dial.

I would definitely pick up the AP 15400 and either a Hulk or BLNR.

I've owned a variant of all those models, all great choices. I'd pick one of each brand so probably a Subc, LVc preferably, and the AP Blue 15400. Or as you have a TT Subc maybe get one big dog AP 44 in TI or RG.

Personally, a lot!!! I've flipped a ton.

Never was it because I wanted simply to spend money. I always wanted something different and "new". It was always a specific target. Hate actually that I have to spend to get what I want. But I've not yet reverted to thievery.

No judgment. You do you. It just seems more fun when the goal is more about obtaining something, rather than the goal being to find something to spend on.

I would say you have to have a black dial and a blue dial that's how I do. AP15400 in Blue is amazing if the size works for you, too big for me. DJ41 in blue is a great choice. As for black dials Sub C is an easy win or BLNR. You're head is going to be spinning!! Fun problems to have!!

Ya it's already spinning. Thinking of 15400st with rubber or leather strap. I know its not a good idea without a AP bracelet. I think I'll go for 3 till the end of this year.

I think Diver or another ROO is better with the 202.

You have a Sub already, so I'd suggest an AP15400 for a more formal watch (wearable with a suit or jeans) and an AP ROO 44 as a very striking, but still casual, watch

Try them on multiple times. The two that sing the most are the ones you get.

I've owned all you've listed but ROO. I'll say that for how stunning the 15400 is, it wasn't for me. I had white dial. If you already have booked a 15202 I'd pass on 15400. So I'll vote Sub and BLNR.

I agree; don't buy if you can't make up your mind on your own.

Out of that list, DJ blue dial.

Out of all my Rolex including all my sport references, the DJ blue dial has become my favourite.
