BLNR and LVc. What's next?

[PLNYC]

Hi all,

I am thinking about picking up another Rolex within the next couple months. I already have the BLNR and LVc and would like some of your opinions on 4 watches that I have had my eye on for a while.

1) 116622 Yachtmaster Blue dial
2) 116613lb
3) 214270 Explorer 1
4) 116520/500 Daytona

I love both the blue dials hence I can't decide which one and price point they're both similar. The explorer is simple, classic and doesn't detect much attention and a Daytona because i love how it wear smaller and the looks of it but am I don't want to pay the premium. I would be getting rid of my Tudor black bay black to fund the purchase. Here are some wrist shots of my 2

Awesome pair you have! Personally, I would go with a bluesy 116613LB.

#1 and #2 you gotta buy used, they both plummet in value, the TT more than anything.

That said, both gorgeous.

Daytona though... if it's for you, it's a true classic Rolex. I love them but can't tell the time on the white face, waiting for the budget to allow a 116509 blue.

I will go for D500! That would make an awesome trio!

White dial Daytona goes perfect with those two...

[MCO1]

Daytona is awesome but now is not the time to buy one unless it is just a total obsession and obviously it is not since you gave other options.

I would go with the Explorer but pre-owned, I do enjoy the heck out of mine.

I have owned a Yachtmaster but the platinum dial variety, the blue dial is striking but I had a quick love affair with mine before it became a Bluesy. The Bluesy I really miss!

I would go for Daytona 116500.
Great trio: BLNR / LVc / D500 (white dial)

[armen34]

116613lb unless you are able to pickup the 116500

[nyc2la]

White D500

[And1dre]

I would go with Daytona

[Stevec14]

Yes, I think a white Daytona and you will be pretty well set!

[Cutlass]

Daytona with white face ..

black-blue/green/white .. that's all you need

[RichM]

Daytona

There are no bad choices among the list you have provided. All good choices I would say.

LB is an all time favorite of mine, and if you like to have a TT, that would be my suggestion.

Explorer is a beautiful watch, and a great choice for everyday watch. My wife has the 214270 WG but that is not getting much wrist time (almost none) as she enjoys her white Daytona 116520 a lot.

[sensui]

I like your choices in general, out of the list I'd favor the Daytona. But the blue dialed 116622 and the simple classic Exp I are strong candidates also for your collection. If you're talking about diversity though I think Daytona would be @ the top of the list...then the Exp I.

P.S. Take it from someone that's collected rather quickly in the last year......take it slow and enjoy the watches, there's no hurry.

White 116500! Added variety with a white dial, chrono and no date. 214270 gets my second place vote.

[lord91]

116613lb

[watchwatcher]

From your list, I would go bluesy first and then add the Daytona somewhere down the line when (hopefully) prices/availability settle somewhat.

[SamP]

The two you already have are difficult to get watches. By getting a 500 or 520, all three would have a common link. That's one way to look at it.
Another way would be buy the one that shouts loudest at you.
Have you considered a vintage explorer? Check out the 1991 14270 blackout dial. Nice and rare, so in keeping-ish with your BM & Hulk. I picked one up two weeks back, and it's beautiful.

With what you have the Blue YM now and sign up for the D500 and make a decision when it comes thru.

[Sohaib]

I would like to suggest you to see the yachtmaster dark rhodium ( grey ) in person .. you will have the perfect collection

(Green + blue + grey ) also the blue dial is good choice but in your case the Daytona is better in my opinion..

Hi Peter, it probably would be easier to navigate and maybe get a better response if you had created a poll. Nonetheless to throw things in the mix since you like blue dials, how about the Milgauss Z-Blue Edition? And if somebody ccould explain the Z-Blue name.

[Shamorai]

Tough choice! The sub lb to me is the most beautiful, but as you have a sub, I’d maybe choose the ym. I actually really like the rhodium dial ym too.
The exp1 would be a great choice as a stealthier option.

[Maiden]

I would go 116613 lb

Stunning hulk.



Unless you go solid gold sub or GMT--you pretty much have it licked.

[tng11]

D500 White Dial - that plus these two are (IMO) the holy trinity of sports Rolexes!

[Jsanders1985]

Maybe go Explorer for something more under the radar

[DKRanger22]

Judging by your current collection, it's easy to see that you are a man that enjoys some color in your collection. I think the LB would be the perfect addition, adding in that beautiful blue sunburst dial as well as a little flare with the two-tone. It would further diversify your already beautiful collection. If your not much for two tone, then my second vote would be for the blue Yachtmaster. There's not a prettier dial in the lineup than the blue sunburst.

[ddaly12]

That Exp I looks awesome. That would be my choice for now, and put your name on a list for the Daytona and see what happens.

[bluebeamer]

sell both and buy a smurf since you like blue dials!
