I would go with BLNR, but it depends on your collection and personal taste.

If by "nicer" you are referring to appearance, IMO it would be the TT. YG/SS is hard to beat if you are looking for a nice appearance. However I would tend to wear this model primarily (but not always) for dress up occasions. I like the BLNR too and would choose it as a daily wearer. If forced to take one or the other my choice would be the BLNR simply because I think it's more versatile..

It's a matter of personal preference and need. If I were to add to my collection I would choose BLNR. All day. Your avatar thingy says you've already got a gold sub, maybe BLNR would be a good contrast for you. Try them both on and see what speaks to you.

They're both awesome...so it comes down to what kind of look you're after, and how it fits into your lifestyle and sense of style in general.

That said, TT is not for everybody. For others, it's a way of life. Which kind are you?

Any Rolex is great but personal preference. My opinion is BLNR. I am just not a fan of YG. Nothing wrong with it just not my cup of tea.
