Hi Everyone,

long story short, I am a recent Rolex convert having bought a Datejust 2, black dial fluted bezel last December. I caught the Rolex bug and put my name down for a ND Sub which I got in March.

I only want a 2 watch collection but have a hankering for a BLNR (being on trf has encouraged this)

Initially I thought the Datejust and Sub where the perfect 2 watch combo and maybe they are. Possibly I am just wanting what I don't have.

If I was to get the BLNR either the Datejust or Sub would have to go. My question is out of the BLNR, Datejust and Sub ND which 2 would you pick as a 2 watch combo with versatility in mind?

My question is

Personally I'd get the BLNR and the Sub. The GMT is probably my favourite complication. And the Sub and be dressed up and down. And I've never really been a fan of the fluted bezel..

I’d keep the DJ2 and the BLNR. Your DJ2 is a go anywhere watch and the BLNR will give you a little splash of color.

White Daytona 116500LN and the Hulk

Sub and BLNR, and then you can get another DJ sometime in the future.

Keep the DJII as it looks a lot different than either Sub or BLNR.

It would be tough for me to let go of my first Rolex...my first meant a lot to me as I had worked hard and saved to get it. The DJ and Sub are iconic Rolex watches. The BLNR is the new "Hot" watch. While I get the appeal, I would not let either one of the two watches you have to get it. Best of luck with your decision.

Wait and add the BLNR when you can afford it.

BLNR+ Sub ND

I have Sub Date 116610LN as my weekend/evening watch, and Rolex AirKing 14000M as my dressy daily office watch.

DJ and BLNR. Sub and BLNR are too similar IMO.

Here’s another vote for DJ and BLNR. A SS daily sports watch (shorts, T-shirt’s, jeans, anything!) and a DJ for slightly dressier or long sleeve occasions. Covered for life with this combo.
