Debating what I should add next as far as Rolex goes...

Currently have:
-GMT Master II BLNR
-Submariner Date 116610 LN

Do I add:
-Sea-Dweller 43
and
-Submariner 116610 LV

Or do I add:
Black DaytonaC 500

I love Rolex divers and lack of PCL, but also love the Daytona. Do not want to sell either of my owned pieces.

Vice1391 · 25 January 2019, 07:12 AM

Splash some color in there! Go green!

peterpl · 25 January 2019, 07:18 AM

Too much overlap. All those watches look similar except the Daytona.

Get that or add something completely different.

wulin · 25 January 2019, 07:19 AM

You should probably get the WHITE DaytonaC 500. Because you already have 2 watches with black dial.

TurboTim14 · 25 January 2019, 07:26 AM

Thanks for the input so far. I usually don't prefer white dial watches. I know the white Daytona is more desirable, but personally I like the black one better.

airpeace · 25 January 2019, 07:26 AM

daytona, join the hype

ROLEXster · 25 January 2019, 07:29 AM

- 500C white
- SD blue
- Pepsi

lawrence1 · 25 January 2019, 07:30 AM

A daytonaC if you can get one.

DLRIDES · 25 January 2019, 07:36 AM

IMO, both options are a little bland.

BigBoy17 · 25 January 2019, 07:53 AM

Lvc and sd43 no question

ThatExplorer · 25 January 2019, 08:00 AM

Even though I don’t care for the Daytona you need something different. OR get an OP/ date just with color dial.

No help here I have 3 Subs and at one point had 5. Go LV Sub. Adds some color and it is a fun watch to wear.
Not a Daytona fan.

watchwatcher · 25 January 2019, 08:18 AM

I voted for the first option, but I would be looking to add some color or PM at some point down the road.

Navarino · 25 January 2019, 08:38 AM

Daytona C, but consider the white dial if it's an option.

I think a Daytona should come before those other two. You already have a sub and that option would essentially be adding another (colored) Sub and a "big Sub".

If possible, I'd get the Daytona first. If you're bored of the Sub in your collection, maybe trade that towards the SD or the LV sub.

HogwldFLTR · 25 January 2019, 08:41 AM

I'd add the Daytona as opposed to two more divers. It makes for a more balanced collection imho!!! It's nice to have diversity in form as well!!!

AK797 · 25 January 2019, 08:42 AM

White D500.

SLS · 25 January 2019, 08:43 AM

Sorry not a Fan of the BLNR, LV or Black dialed Daytona, so I guess option 2.

sillo · 25 January 2019, 08:44 AM

Too much repetition in the bottom option. The three watch collection, especially if you go white dial, has some nice diversity.

Geaux Tigers · 25 January 2019, 08:45 AM

I have the same and am going white dial Daytona next...all in the eye of the beholder.

JayHantz · 25 January 2019, 08:59 AM

If those were my only two options (with the same references and no ability to switch it out) I would pick number one everyday.

ashbaug2 · 25 January 2019, 09:01 AM

I'm not a Daytona fan. I guess I just don't like chronographs. But I voted for the Daytona, since you would have way too much repetition by going LV and SD43.

I agree with the others saying check out the white dial Daytona for some color options.

DownTime · 25 January 2019, 10:20 AM

Daytona then LV

subprimero · 25 January 2019, 11:43 AM

Daytona or Speedmaster Pro.

I’d go white dial also.

MTdweller · 25 January 2019, 12:15 PM

Go for the Daytona. That plus a diver and GMT is a great combo.

DocHorton · 25 January 2019, 05:06 PM

If I were you I'd sell the Sub LN and go with both options.

You'd have: BLNR, SD43, Sub LV, and DC500.

Chope Man · 25 January 2019, 05:58 PM

For the complementary/diversity reason already given by others, I vote for the Daytona.

I do not have an opinion about the color of the dial, I like both.

edyu · 25 January 2019, 06:32 PM

I voted Daytona but I wouldn't suggest going grey on it.

jms135 · 25 January 2019, 06:40 PM

My order would be:
1. White D500 only if you can get at retail.
2. Pm on OF since it sounds like you are not a big fan of pcls. Pcls on pm can drive you nuts if you are not used to it. Rg yacht on oysterflex could be a good option if you want to stick with a black dial and can be had for same price as grey d500.

Add the LV together with the Daytona. And maybe afterwards sell the 11661o LN.
