What would you add next to these two?
I have my eye on the polar explorer 2 or a submariner date. Outside of Rolex I like the Tudor North Flag and Breitling Superocean Heritage White dial with mesh bracelet. What would you do, feel free to make any suggestions. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

TT DJ with Jubilee. If your budget is lower go with a Hulk (beginning of next year as you won't get one this year without paying premium.... most likely)

2 options:
sporty with the 42mm explorer 2, white dial (as you have one black, one silver) OR DJ41 with fluted bezel, jubilee band - your call on two tone or stainless steel, as you did not set a budget. TT rose gold with sunburst chocolate dial is a beauty and 41mm ;) What do YOU think? |

Honestly I think you have two there you could dress up or down. If your wear suits regularly I would go with a leather band dress watch. Maybe a Panerai, a Reverso, or if the budget allowed a nice Patek.
If you're not a suit guy, I'd go with a sportier option. Maybe a Sea Dweller or Deep sea or maybe still the Panerai. Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk |

No suit. I️ actually had a Panerai that I️ sold towards the BLNR, I️ can’t seem to get the fit right on anything other than a bracelet. I️ would love an aquanaut, but the budget won’t allow. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

I️ like the explorer 2 polar a lot. I️ think a white dial would be great. I️ had to sell a Grand Seiko White dialed quartz diver. Really bummed about it, but couldn’t get the BLNR without doing so. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

I’d go polar explorer or Speedy. Personally, I think the sub is a bit too visually similar to the BLNR. I’d probably lean Speedy because you already have a GMT. The North Flag is really growing on me though. It’s funky and looks surprisingly nice on the wrist. I didn’t like it all in pictures beforehand wearing one. |

North Flag is an awesome piece. Speedy would be great, so would a PAM. I have or want all these suggestions.

I don't think a Sub makes any sense, as it would seem somewhat of a less interesting overlap looks wise than the GMT. If you want something that is clearly different than the two you have, would you consider a TT (two tone)? Many can easily be fund for under $10k, possibly even a Daytona as they TT Daytona's go for much less than SS Daytonas.
Or, you can never go wrong with a 16710 GMT Master II Pepsi. I know it's another GMT, but a VERY different look with all brushed links, and red/black bezel. No one would confuse it with your BLNR. JCATT

Great duo...not much else is needed. A chronograph would be a great addition though.
