Looking for another Rolex - Sporty
Hi,

I have a DJ2 that I really enjoy. But, I'm looking for something to wear with my post work attire - sweat pants, shorts, etc. I just don't like the look of my DJ2 in super casual wear.

Thinking about getting the new Blue Milgauss with a Black Rubber b bracelet. Any thoughts?

Any other suggestions on something very sporty? I'm not interested in a GMT or Submariner....

Thanks!!

Loving the blue YM. The Explorers are pretty sporty. Also, the 39mm Explorer looks good on rubber and could easily transition from workplace to happy hour.

SubC gets my vote
Even though u weren't interested in it. I think it'll be perfect

If GMT and sub is out of question

The YM is a good sporty looking watch
I just got the blue dial yesterday and love it.
The platinum dial lacked something (to me anyways)

Next I'd vote for is the Daytona's

I'm in the same boat. I have a Tag Heuer Aqua Racer (WAB2010) and a Tag Heyer Carrera Twin Time (WV2115) that I have in rotation but I am thinking about adding GMT Master 116710LN.

I would say Exp or ExpII, but your idea of getting the blue Milgauss is great. Go with that.

Thanks!
Wow, you guys gave me plenty to do tonight. Thanks so much for the recommendations. I read through every one of them and there are several I hadn't even considered. Let the research begin!!

I will make a decision and purchase this week!

Any of the Explorers for the brushed metal bracelet. Thinking PCL's are a look you are trying to get away from on the weekends, per you OP.
