Did anyone acquire the BLNR and decide they didn't want it?

gets the most wrist of any of my watches..............

No remorse. Just a bit of sticker shock when we picked it up. You mean I just spent cash $$$ on ANOTHER Rolex... I could have paid off _____ , or bought a _____ , or _____.

The only remorse in the house if from the rest of my collection that barely gets worn now.

A G-Shock for the gym, and a Marathon GSAR for SCUBA diving. The 16613 is a safe king now. The rest are boxed up and out of rotation. The BLNR fills the bill quite well.

It's a collection killer.

Not for me , I'm loving mine

Its great and beyond comfortable with the band. Classic and understated which is a hard statement to make for a new watch.

No remorse at all. I wonder if it will force me to reconsider my Sub C. Like the difference between the two. Still mesmerized by the bezel and blue hand. Sub C seems subdued now. Do I need both...what about my Panerai.

You just solidified that this is the watch for me with that shot!

I love mine! I still really want a Daytona though. I may sell this one someday to get one. Not yet though :)

Still in love with mine although purchased only 15 days ago.

It is not even on my list. It is amazing how the GMTIIC LN is my favorite Rolex.

That half blue bezel and blue 24hr. Drops it 10 spots in my rankings.

Honestly, I would not wear it.

[MATCH1969]

Bought it and sold it the same week, not for me but I can understand people love it.

I liked it in her box but not on me.

[elcompa]

Go it. Love it. It fits all occasions that I might need it for.

Have no remorse over mine. My favorite SS Rolex model. I will say this though, it's pretty much getting no wrist time now since I acquired my AP and JLC. I may end up trading it towards something that excites me more. Hate to admit it, but as time goes on, I find myself less and less drawn towards Rolex. Most likely because I see them everywhere.

Makes me want another Rolex in additional to my BLNR.

My remorse over any watch purchases I make usually come from my wife...

Of course you need both!

Funny you say that, I used to think the same way about Rolex so I picked up an AP RG44, ROO black dial and a 15400 months ago and moved them all, picked up a Duometre Lunaire which I still own, and a 5712/1A, 5130P, and a 5167, from my Patek collection only my 5712 remains.

If you are collecting timepieces by what other folks have on their wrist then it may be time to consider picking up some semi independent brands like FP Journe... Believe it or not I see more AP's in the wild than Rolex timepieces.

Now to answer the OP's question, I own the BLNR wore it twice and I'm already bored of it, on the other hand my 718 still excites me to this day after 3 years of ownership!
