Help with Replacing a Diver !

Mario,

I would get the BLNR and call it the day. You seriously can't go wrong with any GMTII for all day comfort. It is even better than a SubC due to its slimmer case.

5 digit black dial EXP2 is also extremely comfortable and looks real good in person.

I'm open to a GMT again. I'd get another BLNR but only at
my AD at msrp or the LN... Sub C is also a possibility, it's light
compared to the SD4K and very symmetrical ...
I just hate giving up the date though . lol...

Thanks brother...

GMT LN is the answer. I love how the GMT wears compared to my Sub. I had and immediately flipped the SD4K due to it being so thick and top heavy. That was before the price hike so it was easier to let it go.

I actually love the PCL so the GMT LN would be my choice. Would make a perfect combo with your bluesy as well.

^ This. BLNR is super comfortable and weighs less and sits lower than the sub and SD. Great all around timepiece.

If you want to keep that bigger diver profile you could check out the Pelagos. I don’t know the exact weight difference but the titanium is quite a bit lighter.
