Next rolex

Hello all, I’ve currently got a 116610LN as my daily wearer purchased new last June, and I’m about to receive a new BLNR, I love my sub and I’m really looking forwards to getting this GMT.

What do you guys think about these two watches and having both together? What could be the best 3rd watch for me to get? Steel sports preferably although might consider a two tone.

I love this forum and all the intelligent people on it and love Rolex and watches as much of not more than I do.

Thanks Daniel

Great duo, for the next one SS skydweller? Or Daytona would make a rounded trio

Daniel the only thing to do is to try as many different ones as you can. You will know which is right for you. Only problem is finding them.

I would look at the Polar Explorer II. Great dial and orange hand. Very comfortable and sturdy and can still be found at the AD's and TS with a slight discount.

Even WF are struggling to get the LVc and SD43 in now, but they have tons of BLNRs, I suspect many selling for the new Pepsi and another chance to profit.

Tudor. Look at Tudor before you buy another ROLEX

Great duo! For a third, within Rolex and availability aside, I think a white DaytonaC would be perfect.

Does it need to be a Rolex? If yes a Daytona is different, if not I would look at AP either a RO or ROO. Really a level above Rolex, and awesome watches

If I had those 2 watches, I probably wouldn't get another Rolex. I'd get something on a leather strap.

But that's me, get what you want.

I’d have a bit of time with the BLNR first. Enjoy that and rotating with the sub. Then start thinking about the next.

2 cracking watches. Maybe look for something different. A Tudor chrono or speedy would make a good third. If you are looking to splash the cash, a white Daytona would be great but good luck finding one minus premium.....

I’d agree with strummer25, DJ is a classic and looks really modern these days.

You have two watches that for 98% of the population are identical. How about a Panerai Bronze?

For the third:
Maby TT Daytona with white dial or Explorer II Polar?

Perhaps a Protrek Titanium for something completely different, tough and fun that you don't have to 'worry about'.
All for less than 250 quid, they're a hoot!
