Some great ones to choose from. If you could own only one of the following fantastic four, which would you pick?

1. Pepsi on jubilee
2. BLNR
3. CHNR
4. Sky Dweller blue dial

New BLRO will no doubt become it sorry to my BLNR but no comparison for me!

I tend to agree. Hence the dilemma. Get a BLNR now, which I rate an 8.5 / 10 or better. Or wait it out for a Pepsi, which is a 10/10 for me.

Decisions, decisions.

I was a BLNR hold out but I'm with you on this. What swayed me was the jubilee. After seeing it on my wife's DJ over the last week or so, there is no contest for me. Dammit, I didn't want to like this watch.

Someone who doesn't like the green hour hand and much prefers a bezel with some color :). Write in votes are fine though ...

Thanks :).

I sold my 16710 Pepsi recently. No regrets and it went to a good home for a fair price. The original intent was to replace it with a BLNR. I unexpectedly happened across the D500 when I went to buy the BLNR though. In parallel, I'm having some difficulty adjusting to the weight and stance of the SD43. So ... thinking about potentially making a swap out.

Ditto

LN gets the top spot for me in both the six and 5 digit variations, although it is teetering on being trumped for the CHNR, but need to see one in the metal first.

LN

I get that the BLNR is more "special" but its just a little bit too flashy for me. BLRO could be even flashier still

SkyDweller every time. Why?
1. Distinctive, unusual watch.
2. Fills the bill as a casual or dressy watch.
3. I find it more comfortable than the standard GMT.

Make that five votes for the LN with one tied for the SS BLRO.

But if it were an only watch, LN for sure.
