What to Get as 2nd Rolex Watch

Well I am going to Toronto this weekend to get my 2nd Rolex, the dealer has the following in stock:

116710LN (Black Sub)
124060 (No date Sub)
126610LN (Black GMT)
126720 VTNR (Sprite, Oyster)
126710BLNR (GMT, Oyster)
126610LV (Green Sub, MK1)

I currently have a MK1 BLRO Pepsi. What you think would be a good compliment to my Pepsi, and a decent buy nowadays?

Appreciated forum members!

Anything you like...
What we think doesn't matter as we aren't paying for it!
Try them on and get which you like the most.
Personally unless you travel a LOT or are left handed Id avoid the sprite and another GMT.

Couldn’t live without a sub. No date or LV - 12 Series.

From your list, I'll second the last response on a black sub.

Perfect GADA, easy to set compared to your GMT. Tough as hell. Let us know what you end of choosing.

My personal choice to complement the BLRO is the Submariner.

Somewhat unique (to me) in that it is only available one configuration

I think its neat to have two modern Rolex that are representative of their original counterparts. YMMV

I love having the 112610LV along with my BLRO. Perfect pairing.
If not the LV, I'd go with the icon - 124060.

My second was the 124060, but I’m now on the list to get the Date. If a date is important, I’d skip the 124060.

I’d have to agree with the above comments

this right here. IMHO, the 124060 may be the most versatile of the subs on your list as just a 2nd watch. But go with sings to you

I would ask, why buy a second watch now when you do not even know what you want.

I have to ask.

That AD has all those models in stock? New MSRP? I would get a Sub.

Definitely grey. The discontinued for three years Sub is a tell.

ND slightly above the LV, but real close. No wrong answer.

I would not think any AD has those watches just sitting around unspoken for and for sale to anyone.

SubLV or ask for the TT Blue Sub (the dial will age to almost a deep blue purple).

No date Sub would be my vote, it's the classic, but get what sings to you.
