Help choosing!

Hello TRF'ers I'm new to the forum and could use some advice. Out of these four watches which two would you keep? ONLY two in any combination and why? your opinions are greatly appreciated! I only want a two watch rotation but can't decide which is the perfect combo

116610LV Hulk
16610 2002+
GMTii-c
116610LB Blue ceramic TT

I would only pick one - GMT as I often travel. As a second watch I would get something different. But if I was forced to pick I guess the LV for little bit of color.

I would choose one for sure, 116610LV Hulk. Not a big fan of TT. New GMT Black and blue is nice too, I would add it as well.

GMTII & Hulk

The everyday wearability plus the feature make the GMT a daily watch.

The hulk is just the hulk - very special and rare. The dial is spectacular.

This is a great combo indeed. I'm also thinking 16610 and ceramic TT blue. Decisions decisions.

GMTIIc 116710
SubC 116613LB

Good mix of complications. TT + SS gives you a lot of dress versatility.

Good point! I'm just wondering if the 16610 will hold up better than GMTii

116613lb and 16610 can both be worn for any occasion and also a classic and modern piece to differentiate your collection..gl

As of this morning this is the direction I am leaning towards! its boiling down to 16610 and 116613LB or 116610LV and GMTii-c - I am currently at 60/40

Hulk and GMTIIc, because I'm not a fan of two tone and prefer 6 digit model features.
