Perhaps go with just the Sub and never look back. It is always right, anytime, any place.

Maybe get a GMT... or a sub date to go with your 114060 whenever they come out with the update. Speedy is cool but at least personally I don’t think I’ve ever used a chronograph function.

I think that the three you have are suitable for the purposes you list.
You already sold the OP, which is a nice dressy watch, but the Explorer does double duty very well. If you must have a DJ for dressy purposes, I suggest a steel, 36mm model on a jubilee with the bezel of your choice. Don't worry about what you think it looks like on your wrist size-wise. Everyone else will appreciate the elegance of the watch and your bold confidence in your masculinity.

Same here but if you buy a 116610LN you will double your enjoyment. I did that with no regrets.

I go through the same OP. Lots of nice watches out there and I can get caught up in getting them. But then realize, I can only wear one watch and too lazy to establish and keep to a rotation schedule.
So these days, I really ask myself, when will I actually wear that (potential new) watch? I get so caught up in the hunt for a new cool watch and realize, it's either redundant for the use case I already have covered. Take this for what it's worth though as for decades I only had a Sub. |

Just sell everything and only wear the sub then.

Exactly. Yesterday there was a new thread where a member asked if he should buy a Sub Date or Sub No Date and today, presto, we get a new thread stating that the Sub No Date is the greatest watch in existence. What a coincidence.

I have this exact feeling with my RG Daytona. I put all my other watches away and haven’t even thought about them let alone looked at them in weeks (Dd 36, RG YM, sub date and black dial SS Daytona). I told myself that if I don’t think about them at all for another month, I’m just going to sell them.

Don't get me wrong, the GMT is a phenomenally conformable piece. That glidelock though....just the perfect, most comfortable watch I've ever worn. |

I love my 114060 and I think I would get another one if it comes with new movement.

The Sub No Date and DJ41 make a great combo and cover most situations.

Yes I’m in the same camp.
I own the watch I want the most and until I discover something to wear every day in its place, have no interest in building a collection to gather dust. Next watch I buy will be as a gift.

I have in the collection 116710 BLNR. Nine months ago I lined up for a black Submariner with a date to pair with my Batman. During this time, I repeatedly struggled with the thoughts of whether to rewrite the order for that without a date. I was even in my case with my AD. Unfortunately, this substitution will queue from the beginning. And Sub without date is so pure in its simplicity.
In terms of convenience, I think that GMT II is much more convenient than Submariner. This is of course my opinion in this matter. |

I couldn’t get past the fact that you sold your Seiko SKX’s.

For me the 114060 worked the opposite. It felt large and bulky in comparison to my 14060. I was happy to trade it in on another watch. I wish it had ruined all other watches for me.

One day I realized that the problem was I had been too fixated on the Rolex brand. My advice to you OP would be to look outside of Rolex and find a watch you love that serves a different purpose. Something that looks significantly different than a diver. Maybe dressier or even more delicate since you already have the sub as your daily. For me I found that in an AP. The quality and finish is out of this world and it brings variety to my collection. Now every time I go to put on a watch it’s a toss up! Best of luck to you! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I only wear and own my Sub Date and although I like and appreciate many other watches, I’ve always wanted the Sub Date, so I just admire and enjoy other watches without craving them. I know that if I buy them, I will end up just wearing my Sub Date. Don’t know if that makes sense though.

Maybe you should try collecting Subs. You have a wide variety to choose from.
