I’d go 116610lv and 126600.not a big fan of gmts but the blnr is a beauty.Sd43 is awesome, great wrist presence, big bad ass watch with a little red which is cool.sd43 and lv are 2 of my personal favorites.

116610LV and 116710BLNR

A diver + a GMT is a perfect duo

LV and BLNR for me - One dive watch one travel watch versus two dive watches.

I'd say option 1, to add a bit of functionality. I would consider a Hulk and an ExII in either dial option. Making that a trio with adding an OP or DJ in another alternate dial color would also be cool.

Don’t waste your time on the SD43 unless you’re a big boy

GMTII and SD43. That may not be one of your options but it is my recommendation.

Won’t ever part with my LVc but appreciate you weighing in nonetheless. If I can source a 97200 for my GMT i think that with the LVc might be best pair ever at least IMO. Still trying to find one

The SD 43 is a very big and thick watch. I think it looks nice but you should really try one on if possible

LV and BLNR is a great combo! How big are your wrists? The BLNR wears well on any size wrist, but the SD43 is better suited for a big wrist. FWIW, might help make the final decision.

Not one of your combos, but SD43 + GMT unless you *have* to have a green watch.

Option 1 of your choices, but these are probably too similar for my own liking. I'd consider an ExpII in lieu of the BLNR.

LV and SD43
WHY?

LV is special, maxi case is hot and sporty.
SD43 anniversary edition, bigger (a change from the LV), and the proportion of the case are more vintage. If you choice the GMT is the same maxi case, the same size, the same watch with other bezel function.

The Hulk and the BLNR. Two special watches. I like the colors.

I'd go Hulk/SD43 of those two choices. The Batman is awesome, but personally I see value in having a black watch in the stable.

Indeed yes. But can’t we sneak a DD in there too for a threesome?

I totally agree.

Although I don’t own a suit I’d love to add a DD ... one day
