GMT II-C: LN v BLNR

[The Sub-lime One]

Morning folks,

Do any of you happen to have both of these models? If so can you share pics please? I'm curious to see how they look side by side. Initially, I preferred the LN but with all the recent incoming threads of the BLNR I'm actually warming to it.

Have a good Sunday!

I don't have either watch but it will come down to 2 things. Personal preference and how many other watches you have. Personally I don't like the BLNR or any multi colour bezels. Also the LN may work better as an only watch. However if you have a few others and fancy a splash of colour then the BLNR might be be way to go.

Well put.

There are tons of threads comparing the two. There are also side by side shots on here, and Google Images.

I currently have the 114060 as my only watch. As for number two, I've narrowed it down to the DJ II or GMT II-C. Pretty sure on what DJ II model I like but can't decide between these two GMT's.

Thanks, I did use the search function on here but couldn't find any images comparing the two side by side.

Was the same as you.
In fact I didn't even think of the BLNR, I was about to pull the trigger on the LN in a few days.
I visited the AD just to try the LN back on to fully make sure in my head I want it; and after trying it on, I was sure.
The the AD salesman showed me HIS BLNR he was wearing on his suit, and I thought, wow it doesn't look bad at all.
I tried it on, and I really did start to warm up to it.
In the flesh it looks really good.

Few weeks later and a lot of thinking later, I bought the BLNR.
Now about 4 months later, i'm still on the honeymoon phase.

I LOVE this watch!

Do it!

Thanks... My initial thought was that the GMT II-C is too similar to my Sub C which is why I am considering the DJ II also, however, I'm starting to feel that there are enough differences to own both.

There's a thread called "AD visit - LN vs BLNR"
It has all the info you'll need

[Racerdj]

Both are great models and I would recommend trying both on before you purchase.

Thanks Brian, just found it. Lesson learned, don't use the search engine on a Sunday morning when you're suffering from a hangover!

Had the LN before the intro of the BLNR. BLNR is my choice.

I absolutely love the dash of green on the LN, and the bezel of the BLNR. I then have to compare one of these to the DJ II. This is going to be one hard decision.

Dee, if you have a black sub I'd get the BLNR. If you had the LVc I'd maybe get the black.

[soho]

I recently chose the LN over the BLNR for several reasons. I think it's dressier and more versatile. I also like the effect of the little splash of color with the green hand and text. With the BLNR, the color of the hand matches the color in the bezel. It was the right thing to do and it looks amazing, but it is a totally different effect. Also, in the LNIB market the difference is at least $2K. That didn't dictate my choice, but it was a factor.

All that said I do like the BLNR (a lot) and it undeniably has been a phenomenon, at least here. It really has become I watch unto itself, e.g. I feel like there are more posts about choosing between a BLNR and a SS white faced Daytona than between an BLNR and an LN. I am by no means criticizing it, but that aspect of the BLNT also nudged more towards the LN, for whatever reason.

My thoughts exactly Neil. I think it's going to be a straight choice between the BLNR and DJ II.

Different combos,

[GermanyMatt]

I also went from the Sub LN to a BLNR. No regrets.

The LN GMT might be an option for you too, but the BLNR is a beautiful watch in person.

I flipped my 114060 to get a BLNR.. Loved the sub, but I love the BLNR more.

Get the BLNR.. You won't regret it!

Pictures are one thing...but trying them on in the flesh is another.

I have owned both. In fact, the LN twice.
The BLNR is the way to go. It's the one I will keep.
