I Don’t need it, but I sure want it BLRO input

Little input please.
Always wanted a Sub. I was fortunate enough to get a 39mm Explorer and a SubC. Downsized my stock of watches and I’ve been really happy with these as the main pieces. You just can’t go wrong with them.

I have liked the GMT Pepsi but as some here didn’t care for the hues of red and blue. Well... I was at an AD recently and a guy was picking up his brand new BLRO, had a chat with him and having seen the watch in person I fell in love with it. The colors are amazing and sharp! Completely different from the SubC part of why it really caught my attention

So this is the dilemma. Do I go for the trifecta? Or remain content with what I had before having seen it in person?

If it’s in the budget, sure will make a great trio.

Pairs great with the SubC! Plus, you can swap the Sub’s oyster bracelet over to the BLRO to change it up.

Like you, once I finally saw one in person I was sold!

It's a beautiful watch. If you want one I'd say go ahead.

The side by side pic is really great! The sub is pure class but MAN! do I like the colorful character of the GMT. Great watches you have there!

Go for it! I would!

Well, it does add something to your collection, but you've had a collection before, pared it down, and were happy with the classic duo you currently have. Does moving back in the direction of a collection seem like something you want to do or sort of the urge of the moment after seeing something you liked? I think the answer to that will get you where you need to be on this decision. Best of luck on it!

I am the wrong person to advise on this.
Love mine.

Probably my one and only Rolex as I am not rich and could barely afford it but I wear it daily, rain or shine, and get lots of positive compliments on it as its recognizable by watch lovers. Don't think you can go wrong.

No one needs a Blro. If you want one and can swing it call your AD right away..., before the race starts, sounds like a winning trifecta to me.
