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.

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?

I’d say a speedy and Tudor BB or Pelagos. You’ve added chrono, diver and brand diversity and you’re still under 10k

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.

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.

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.

If you update your iPad/iPhone it will stop autocorrecting “I” to that gibberish. It drove me nuts for a week before I updated.

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.

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