GMT ii BLNR or D-Blue better combo to Submariner LV (Hulk)
What would make a more special and better companion to my Submariner LV (Hulk) the GMT ii BLNR (Batman) or The Deeepsea Blue?
Some facts; I own the Submariner LV and the BLNR, however, I'm thinking if I should flip my BLNR for a Deepsea Blue. I had previously the DaytonaC LN, but got bored after 3 months and sold it with a good profit. I'm looking for your experiences and comments |

Deepsea is huuuge. IMO, I think you'd need wrist around 7.5" and above for the Deepsea to look good.

BLNR, for some reason those two together just works.

If you have the wrist and you like the dial the DSSD-Blue would be my choice.

BLNR gives you more diversity and if you like GMT complications, it's a great watch.
I however vote DBlue because it's just plain awesome |

I'd go BLNR but it sounds like you want the Deepsea.

Depends on a lot of factors, obviously, but without knowing all the details I would give the nod to the BLNR.
If going SD with the LV, I would probably include the new SD43 in the decision. |

To me, it sounds like you are right where you should be. GMT and Sub has you covered.

The Deepsea is in the same family so havta say the BLNR for variety in functionality at the least.

I have all three. My LVc is my zombie apocalypse go to watch. Whilst I'm officially no longer bored of my BLNR, the D-Blue is awesome. My wrists are 7.25"

I vote BLNR unless you have a large wrist. Then it goes DSSD.

GMT ii BLNR or D-Blue better combo to Submariner LV (Hulk)
What do you mean by "combo"? Do you intend to wear both at the same time and are asking they which two would complement each other better when worn side by side on your wrist? Or maybe you plan to wear one watch on each wrist???
If you only intend to wear one watch at any given time then I don't see how this is a question that matters. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

BLNR is more suitable for any occasion. I love the bi-color bezel.
