If you could only keep one watch....
Between a Batman 116710 BLNR or a Sea-Dweller 126600 which would you keep. Now if it was a daily watch, wear it everywhere, everyday would your choice still be the same. Thanks TRF.

I'd go with the BLNR, but honestly both is the best answer.

but if forced to choose, it would be BLNR.. even as daily wearer... even if PCLs get all scratched up... its just a beautiful piece. PS If i was forced to pick between BLNR and DSSD-blue. that would choice would be tougher.... I like blue |

114060 would be fine for me. If I wasn’t allowed Rolex, I could probably make do with my speedmaster...

Complications - BLNR has 3, SD43 has 2 - BLNR wins Clasp functionality - SD43 wins Depth rating - SD43 wins Movement/power reserve - SD43 wins (the BLNR in question is a 116710) Being discontinued? Irrelevant, that is a subjective point. Objectively, that's a 3:1 win for the SD43 If you are going to make an objective comparison, please include all relevant features, not just the ones to support your subjective opinion.

I’m biased, (see avatar), but I’d go with the BLNR.

I would go with the SD43 as I’m a deepsea guy and I wear the big boy 126660 daily so the 126600 SD43 would feel right. I find the 40mm watches feel small on me and I forget I have it on and bang it. When I need a break from the heft of the 126660 I throw on a rubber B

That’s a tough one. I have The Blnr and love it. A friend has the SD and it’s a great watch. A toss up for me

Over those two? The GMT.
And I’d get a few RubberB’s for it and lose the PCL’s. |

Blnr for sure.. i think SD43 is a bit too bulky to be and only watch and a daily wearer..

I own both and if I were to choose it would be the BLNR staying.
In fact, I’ll probably get rid of my SD43 even though I’ve no real reason to, I just never wear it. |

This is tough. If it could be only 1 I’d have to say my tt black sub. It goes with any outfit combo.
In this pic it’s paired nicely with a grey sweatshirt.

Between the two: sea dweller.
Beyond that a no date sub. (Perfect size as well, SD I feel is too big ) For all the beauty of the GMTs , from experience a divers bezel is always more useful than a GMT. Have used a divers bezel as a "GMT" as well as timing meetings, discussions work etc. I think the GMT is perfect if you travel internationally a lot. Most people don't travel enough (or trade/interact internationally) to warrant wearing a GMT. Also the unidirectional bezel on the sub versus the bi directional on the GMT helps practically as my personal feel is that the uni is less prone to moving around than the GMTs (which feel quite free flowing when turning) ....and who needs the date anyways!!!! ;) Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk |
