With that combo in your arsenal, I'd go BLRO.

Despite the fact I'm a GMT admirer I think between the two the Smurf is better looking. However, given your collection, the BLRO would be the better addition.

I prefer the BLRO to 619 regardless of the collection it's going into

From a rational collection point: get the BLRO.

From a feinschmecker point: get the Smurf. The Smurf is the most clean design, only one color in true beauty, the BLRO is a 3 color watch. Smurf wins watch to watch.

Same here, perfect duo, and can still get a sunburst dial.

Same thoughts I've had...

On one hand I love the smurf but also the hulk and both together does not make sense to me...

On the other, considering my current two rolex I should go for the blro, which btw I also love...

If you plan to keep the hulk, then Blro if you can get to love the bezel.

Can't go wrong with either, but if you already have a Sub, go Gmt

Hard decision. Initially I thought Smurf but that GMT in WG is fantastic too. I'd hate to be in your shoes. Actually that's a total lie, I'd love to be debating this choice.

I would get the Smurf... Given your collection, I'd go with the WG Pepsi.

Best thing to do, is see them both on your own flesh and then decide
