I love to travel and I like Black and blue more than blue and red.

BLNR for me.

Just submitted the poll, go vote! I went with BLNR. Never thought I would over the 124060, but can’t take it off!

I voted 126710BLRO because that's what I've chosen as my daily wear and it's superb....but I've been thinking about adding another recently.

I prefer the 5 digits of each of the references, but if it has to be one of these I choose 126610LV.

that’s what my initial thought was but admittedly I’m now all over the place!

I bounce between the 124060, 126610lv and re-adding the 126600. Of course I can’t get any at retail and the markup is the least on the SD43 so maybe that’s natures way of bringing it back to me!

That's a really tough call. I vacillate between saying the Sub and the BLRO.

Both are iconic references. On one hand I love having the date function and the dual time. The comfort is also next level ...

On the other, the Sub is well its the Sub and the reference that got me into the hobby all those years ago ...

Today I'll say Submariner, tomorrow it might be BLRO

That’s fantastic

I bought mine back from @jets a month or two ago … had the same issues that you did, but in the end my heart won out over my brain

I know it's not on the list but its the Hulk out of all of these for me. The sunburst dial looks mesmerizing in the light. I think the Daytona white dial would give it good competition if it wasn't so small relative to the rest on the list.

I can totally understand how's it been since you added it back? I go back and forth on whether I want to have both my watches be 40/41mm or if it's worth having the big difference in size and heft between the SD43/GMT. The 124060 is perfection I think, they really nailed it when it comes to the case profile.

BLRO, only because there’s no LV on the menu. :)

BLRO will hopefully be my next big (to me) acquisition.

Honestly, we’ve been getting along just fine again. Oddly, @crazycarlitos suggested I try wearing it looser, and voila … it’s has made a difference. I also fiddled with the links for the 100th time and seem to have found nirvana (or as close to it as possible)

That’s a tough call and I can see your conundrum …. You’ll definitely notice the difference switching back and forth between the SD43 more than the Sub.

Another thing to think about is whether you want another reference with a date… no wrong answer IMO

Good luck brother

Totally for fun! Love what I got, can’t imagine ever letting one of them go. Want to add the LV and one of the Daytonas at some point, but enjoying what I have now.

SS Poll - GMT, Sub, Daytona

Currently would choose white dial 116500, having owned and sold a BLRO and Hulk in the past.

I voted BLRO (on jubilee).
One day I should add a Daytona and then my opinion might be different.

Of these choices, I would have to go with the BLRO based on my lifestyle and tastes.
