I know I am putting myself in the lion's cage...

But I just have to ask my TRF family. There is an 'itch' (you all know how it feels) about a SS watch...what to do?

Options:

Green Sub: Always liked the way it looks and how the green changes shades on different light conditions. But...I already have a 2T sub

Batman: I do not have a 2 time-zone watch. But...maybe the PCL? Then again, 2T sub has PCL

OP39: A completely different watch. But...no date and smaller case

Let me be honest: the 'but' are useless! What to do?

(side note...would a SS Daytona be a smart move?)

Gracias as always!!!!

That LV you tried on the other day looked fantastic on you, Gerardo!

Too many subs? No such thing.

I voted for the BLNR as you seem to travel a lot and you don't have a watch with a GMT function. It is also a stunning piece and one which I think will make you very happy.

I'm going with BLNR, as you don't yet have a watch with the GMT function. And it's awesome.

If it's an SS watch you crave, then any GMTII will do.

I'm partial to the BLNR, but that's just a personal perference.

If you're suddenly swayed toward PM, the BLRO would be a nice addition in its own right.

LVc looked awesome on you, G, and is a completely different animal compared to a TT Sub.

If PM, that RG YM was so nice on you.....

You can never have to many Subs
The BLNR would be good for travel though

BLNR. It grows on you. The longer you look at the BLNR, the more you love it.

Both the Batman and the Hulk are on my to do list also. Being a somewhat practical sort, I bought the Batman first. I love the green, but the Hulk is a couple notches below the Batman on my list. Good luck and have fun!

Contrarian opinion. Gerardo I would go with the OP Rhodium or Blue dial. It is so classic. Gorgeous. My next one.

i should add, what is it about the LVc's dial? it mesmerizes with its chameleon qualities....going bright and bold in the sun at a BBQ to sublte, refined and moody in the evening with a nice cocktail or tequila.... just a great reference that goes with everything while feeling really special. oh, and it dresses up nicely, too.

You've got a Sub and lack a travel watch. BLNR sounds perfect.
