Fondled a BLNR today...

[Turbo Racer]

Amazing looking watch. I have long waited to get one and still am trying to be patient! Hopefully soon for you!

Although I opted for the Jubilee because I have several Oyster bracelets, I would gladly own either. Gets a lot of wrist time for me and the bezel is color works for me. Oddly I never bonded with the blro so it’s all about personal taste…hope you get yours!

[Joearch]

Very special time piece.
Hope you can get one.

The BLNR was on my list along the BLRO, I but once I saw them in the flesh on teo bracket models I was kind of diss appointed. The proportions of the bracelet compared to the case looks too off to my eyes. I wish the bracelet should have been wider I told my SA… a couple of years later, Rolex did that to the 12 series sub, now I can’t wait to see that change applied to the gmt line.

I will say though it's one of those annoying watches like the RG DD that everytime I spot someone else wearing it, I think why does it look better on them.

I have a nice LN at the moment, though sometimes I find the black bezel a bit dull and I am not sure the black with blue works on the BLNR.

I think it would be great if the bezel was just blue, like the 1675 "Blueberry":

IMO blue ceramic is the best colored bezel Rolex has ever done and the GMT is a perfect application. It does indeed 'pop' especially with some light. The CHNR is much more subtle but the color isn't really true (is it red? brown?)

Ever visit Milan? You can't throw a dead cat without hitting a Rolex. Every 2nd person seems to be wearing one. I can't even imagine what it's like in the Middle East.

It is an astonishing watch, I am completely falling in love with it. My AD promised me that I am in his thoughts for one of them. I wish so as well…

[TswaneNguni]

I always return to the black dial/black bezel Rolex on ss in the collection ..timeless.

[CoveWatch]

fondled

really like my blnr for easy wear

[~Ocho1~]

yeah man, I absolutely LOVE my BLNR!!!

If I had to get rid of my whole collection (around 13 watches) & keep just one, it would be the BLNR

Thanks for sharing

I am warming to the BLRN.

Good to see it is not a fake

I find that I wear the BLNR more than the others in rotation due to the blue going with a lot of my daily attire at work and away from work. I wear the Sub the least due to the plain black bezel (but do prefer the LN over the LV though).

[Spoonage]

My BLNR is probably my favorite of all my watches. You can't go wrong if you pick it up.

BLNR on Oyster was my first Rolex. Wearing it now. But SD43 is on my radar. Trying to decide between SS and TT. Wrist is size is probably similar to yours at close to 8”. With long sleeves, BLNR shines, but here it is short sleeve weather almost year round. The SD43 looks perfect on your wrist = perfect proportions. Maybe skyd blue would fit you better?

SkyD fits me very well, I like it lot! It's basically a large DJ. (However it's way down on my list.) Even the Deep Sea feels good although it certainly has some heft. SD43 is a great daily.
