The blue dial YM is a solid choice, and would be my choice of the three.

Do you like the explorer II? I acquired the Polar version two weeks ago and it works very well with my sub C date and my GMT BLNR.
I like the Exp II, but like all three of the others I listed better. It just doesn't sing to me much.

The color scheme, materials and polish are all about bling... It's a fashionable jewelry homage to the tool watch.

IMO, all Rolex watches stopped being "tool" watches years ago. They're all jewelry now.

Good call... and you've answered your own question about the YM "bling factor."

Out of the three I'd say the YM, only because it will give you some variety. The others are too similar to your Sub.

Have you thought about the Daytona?

I was gonna say hulk but do the yachtmaster.

Reason- subc- sport.
Ym- dress

The hulk i would get but you already have a sub.

So ym first choice.
Gmt ( not blnr ) second choice
Hulk last choice.

I say the ym or GMT. ym first because the dial and red seconds hand look fantastic in person. It's kind of underrated around here imo, but I really like it. I don't think it's super dressy, it still has a sporty feel to it. The GMT would be next simply because it has a useful complication, but I think two different color dials would make a nice contrast and feel like you put on a different watch than it really would as much with the GMT.

Okay, I've decided against the Hulk. Mainly because I already have a black SubC and it really doesn't make much sense to add another.

So now I'm down to two options.

1. 116710BLNR (blue/black GMTIIc)
2. 116622 (blue dialed YM)

I like all three of these equally, but for varying reasons. Any opinions from the masses?

Thanks
