Submariner Smurf or GMT BLRO

What should I buy? What would you buy?

For your info I currently have a Daytona and Sub Hulk...

Thanks!

Both great, I personally like the additional GMT function, as it also is water resistant. And you already have a Hulk!

Within this option set, I would go with the BLRO easy. In fact and after purchasing my 116618LB, I now want one!

As much as I love the smurf, I'd go with a BLRO given that you already have a colored sub.

I say if you can swing the extra cost - the Smurf is something special.

BLRO does make more sense with your current line up, but who said this hobby has to make any sense? Which one strikes you the most?

I'd sell the Hulk and put the money towards the Smurf. But that's just me.

Good luck

My ideal Rolex line up is very similar to yours, but in my case I would go daytona (white), BLNR and Smurf.

Once you get that Smurf, you'll forget all about that Hulk.

I agree with this.
The BLRO makes more sense in your collection, but I would still get the SMURF tbh because I just love the combo. The flat blue dial with the white gold is perfect!

Doesn't have to make sense to anyone but you.
I have another suggestion for you.
Flip the hulk for a GMT LN - of course I am not sure how attached you are to it, and add the Smurf.
Black, Blue, and your Daytona (not sure what color it is).

That would be an epic TRIO!

Since you have the hulk I'd say maybe go for the blro for some diversity.... But the smurf if my grail so I'm obliged to say get the smurf!

The combination of the blue and the WG is almost magic. Nice if a watch is fitting in your "current" collection, but I don't think thats the way to go. And do not forgot were talking about a lot of money here. You must choose with your heart

This was my thought, flip the hulk as your wrist will forget it once you put that smurf on. Or buy the smurf and flip the hulk towards the BLRO and really have a great lineup.

Agree with others. Once you get the smurf you will forget about the hulk. Still love mine but my flip it now as it gets no wrist time.

The smurrf and blnr complement each other so well.
