I think the BLNR would fit perfectly into your amazing collection!!! The right in-between piece capturing both pieces in the middle (blue/black)

Welcome to TRF!

So the YG Sub might fit since that's a wide array of clothing...and then you'll have a Sub trifecta

I'd go the full gold with green dial. Nothing beats that IMHO

Haha you have a point my friend , but GMT blue/black came to stay or will be in 4-5 years an outdated model cause I love my watches and I never sold any cause they are part of me ?


I forgot to tell you that I am in my early thirties.

I am listening more thoughts about my new baby that I am planning to buy

I think that I am a bit young for a full gold watch or TT , thats one reason why I spent so much money for my white gold smurf !

They'll all be an "outdated" model one day, I'd not give that a second thought personally. BLNR is a good suggestion, or how about a BLRO when available that would be a great addition to two fantastic subs.

If by "Outdated" you mean discontinued, then the word can be interchanged with "classic" for some.

Just look at the SS GMT Pepsi and Coke bezel versions. No longer made, but IMO still look fantastic and still highly popular.

The BLNR is a good choice but if you're talking about timeless you can go TTDJII or DDII. you have 2 sport watches and they are the timeless models. you can go the more formal/elegant route to round out your collection

Daytona would be a good addition but that one will likely come out in a ceramic bezel so the current style will be out of date.

DJII would also be a nice addition for the criteria you posted.

Highly unlikely the new Daytona SS will have a ceramic bezel. They will reserve that for precious metal Daytonas, IMO.

I can see the BLRO in your future! It will be worth saving for.

DJII Two Tone if you ask me!!! You have two Subs, so different case watch would be nice addition to your collection.

I would go with a Rolex that look more different than the BLNR. I personally would vary your collection with either a Daytona (my fav) or a DJII or Explorer. A non-diving watch. Shake things up, bro.

Don't rule out a standard DJ. It's an absolute classic.

Welcome to the forum family
Since you have two sport watches how about a DJ or DJII

Does it looks nice a DJII with a jean and a good shirt or a polo shirt ? I have the DJII for a very formal dressing in my mind. Otherwise I like the steel DJII black dial smooth bazel.


By the way GMT is not a sport watch IMO.

BLNR would be a great choice.
I wouldn't worry about any Rolex becoming an "outdated" model. They look freeking awesome even after 50+ years.
