Thoughts on my collection so far.
As many of you may know, I am a SS sport watch collector and have no interest in TT of Gold watches. I just replaced my 16610 date sub (have not sold yet) with GMT BNLR. So far I am pretty happy with the collection. Last month I went into my AD to get the BNLR but since they didn't have it they convinced me the Hulk was the way to go and I would warm up to the color. I have had the Hulk for a month now. They called me stating they got the BNLR in stock last week so I decided to pick it up and part with the Hulk. Since getting the BNLR I am starting to appreciate the Hulk even more. Yes I prefer the BNLR but the Hulk is growing on me as I love the color variety of the two. Unfortunately I should not keep both financially but I may be able to swing it :). Long story short I think I have enough color in my collection for now?
Update. I may just have to keep the 16610. It is a true classic :). IMG_1071.jpg |

Be sure to keep the BLNR and yes please tell us about the DSOTM. Tried it in a few weeks ago and was very impressed. Not in the market for something like that right now, but I really fell they did everything right with it.

if one *had* to go, it would be the 16610, but, if not, you're good to go.

if you want to add some color why not the SS YMII? it is a great timepiece and it is something different in your collection.
