Good watch to accompany an OP36

Hey guys - first post.

I was thinking of making my second purchase (how addicting this hobby is...) to celebrate a couple special occasions this year.

I have a budget of around 11-13k. I was thinking the 116523 Two Tone Daytona with the Panda dial, or a Hulk, or a BNLR (non jubilee)...

I kinda dig the two tone watches, I don't much care about a date function with current watch (lack thereof), and I usually wear jeans and t-shirt to work, go out, hang out, etc.

I want to know your opinions! Thank you in advance!

If you like 2 tone I would go new from an AD and get a sub, 116613LB.

That would be goldsmiths?

There isn’t a 5 year wait in the U.K. I was offered one before I got my SD43. They’re easier to get than a SS sub. I turned it down as gold isn’t my thing.

If you don't care about the date and want something a bit more flashy may I recommend the Milgauss blue dial? I'm by the way in the exact same position as you :) The Mil' is on my shortlist, so is a TT Sub Blue and a TT Datejust. I just feel like getting a 'datejust' wouldn't seem like a significant "upgrade".. as essentially it's an OP with date.. Wouldn't feel any different on the wrist
