116660 DSSD D-Blue vs 116710 GMT BLNR which one to keep?
Recently added the above two to the collection and realized that it too much blue now and somewhat redundant to the collection. Currently there is a 116660 DSSD Black MK1, three 5-digits GMTs in my collection.
If one needs to go which one would you choose? |

I have both and would not part with either but I guess if forced to the BLNR would have to go as the D-Blue is one special watch even if for weekends only. Again though wouldn't part with either!

I’d personally keep the BLNR but the D-Blue in your current collection makes more sense.

D-Blue would stay without a doubt. More unique and special in my eyes.

While I understand the fascination w the BLNR, the D -blue is more special.

I prefer the BLNR to the JC DSSD. If it was the new DSSD with the upgrades I would go there but it is not.

the TRF default answer is both, but in this case, keep the DSSD

The D-Blue has a unique presence especially both from a visual and wearability standpoint IMO. D-Blue is the keeper.

I wouldn't ditch over too much blue, as very different watches. (3) 5-digit GMT seems redundant?

Wow. Touch decision! Which one sings to you the most? Which one do you find yourself staring at the most!? Then that’s your answer for the keeper.

If you’ve got three 5 digit GMTs why not drop those? If not, drop the black Deepsea. If not that, then drop the BLNR.

That’s like asking a parent which is your favorite child... there is no right answer and you are the only one that can answer which is best for you.

I have both as well as a bluesy. Def not too much blue for me. I would keep both and lose the mk I. If money is not an issue, I wouldn’t part with any of them. It’s weird how your heart can change towards an unworn piece after 6 months of not wearing. You strap it on and it’s like u found new love for it.
My vote, keep all. |

I love the heft of my D Blue it gets about 10x more wrist time than my BLNR, so it would have to be bye bye BLNR.

Thanks everyone for your opinion. Looks like the majority of the folks prefer their D-Blue over BLNR!

Ditch the D-blue in a heartbeat, IMHO.
