Flip everything and get:-
1) A Explorer 39 mm for yourself and a 36 mm explorer for her
2) Deep Sea for yourself and a SD4000 for her
3) A black Daytona for yourself and a White Daytona for her.

Congrats mate and DON'T wear the BLNR! I tried on the BLRO and it is a great piece, I just bought a YG GMTc but am seriously thinking of getting this as well one day. I think you'll flip the BLNR for the BLRO so don't wear it or make this an exception with the missus for this trade up, after all it's only a bit of red and it looks pretty much the same.

Congrats on the big day! The BLNR would be the keeper in that bunch for me. Even if you end up with the BLRO down the road, it would remind you where it all started.

Appreciate the comments fellas.

BLRO is currently out of my comfort zone.

I'm hoping in a few years it comes down on the used market.

Very seriously thinking about the Ti for the wedding day. But then the question would be, is it safe to wear the Rolex on my honeymoon? (Joke, of course)..

Congratulations on the big day for you both. I wish you a lifetime of health and happiness

I might be stepping back a bit here...Wasn't the 5726 supposed to be your wedding watch

Ha. Nice catch.

Yes, it was.

But in typical form, that was about 9 "wedding watches" ago.

First off, big congrats on the wedding, you guys are great together and I wish you both nothing but the best!
Secondly, the BLNR is a no brainer to me!
Enjoy every bit of the wedding, it goes fast

Since your wife to be has expressed a clear opinion, I would suggest you either go with that or, if you disagree, choose a new one together that you are both happy with. It needn't be a single grail that you sell off the whole collection for; that would be a hell of a lot of pressure at a time when you have a lot of other things to think about. Something very classic that will never date, like a sub or a calatrava, might be in order. The Omega Ti is a very handsome piece, however, so maybe you have your answer already...

If wearing the white dial because it matches your bride's beautiful wedding dress gets you extra honeymoon points then that's my choice, mate!

I would wear the one your wife suggested. You will be too busy to be worried about your watch. Also, you are prone to flipping and the BLNR is a good one for that as it is super liquid.

Seth, first off and most importantly, congrats on the wedding Saturday!

Now, as to the watch...hmm...I think I would go with the Omega. I sense you moving the BLNR for the BLRO someday down the road, and I wouldn't want you to hem yourself in with the promise and all.

Congratulations on tying the knot! I would definitely keep the BLNR.

Sounds like the new Mrs is good woman by supporting your watch habit. Let's hope after the "I do's" that continues. As my dad always told me; marriage is not a word, it's a sentence.

Seth first and foremost congrats my man. Secondly I would say go for the BLNR unless you decide to jump on a DJ2 =).

either way my man it will be an awesome awesome day to remember, and something tells me whatever is on your wrist you will want to keep it no matter what.

We just did a little watch fashion show.

The further mrs superdog no longer likes the Ti so much.

She loves the BLNR. She even referred to it as such. Literally saying: baby, my favorite is the BLNR.

Makes things easy. And wow, I'm a lucky man.

And now I know what my next flip will be. Love the Omega. But have to fund this habit somehow. I think that'll eventually go towards the BLRO.

Sometimes it's all in the presentation.

Congrats and a lifetime of happiness to both of you.

You could by a quartz "Tuxedo" watch to keep for the duration, allowing continued flipping of models on hand, if she is not a WIS.

I have a strong feeling that won't fly, however. Congratulations! 23 years for us so far.

So let me get this straight, you are getting married on Saturday and you're worried about the watch you'll be keeping for life?? If so, I'd say you are all set!!

Congrats on the wedding, go with the BLNR, and then flip the other watches for your grail.
