Get the one you like the best. Personally, I love the BLNR.

BLNR for me. But you can’t go wrong with any of them. They are both fantastic watches

I have both and thoroughly enjoy wearing them for different reasons. Go with the one that suits your lifestyle best. No wrong answer here.

Your choice is the most important one. I chose the BLNR as I found it to be more comfortable and the blue suited me better. Good luck with your decision.

Yeh I think I am going to get the blnr first. In the last 2weeks I bought my 2 tone skydweller , 2 tone yachtmaster and my iced out datejust 2. I’ve been on a watch tear lately. I’m almost tempted to go for the Pepsi but I would kick myself in the head if I bought now at double retail and the watch became cjeaper next year. I can handle paying some over retail for bulk or Batman but double for Pepsi that is hard pill to
Swallow

I have both. BLNR is WAY more versatile. If you love Subs and don't like GMT, then you'll be more happy with the LVc. Brushed band on the Sub will hide scratches ore than PCL on BLNR. Both are amazing watches.

I have owned 4 subs in past. I have never owned a gmt so I thought the batman would be a good piece to add

BLNR. If it's your main watch it is more versatile. If you have a good sized collection then it's whatever you like better.

I’m lucky enough to have both. BLNR is more timeless IMO. If it were me and I had owned 4 subs, as you mentioned, I’d go BLNR. If I planned on picking up a BLRO, as another member asked, I’d go LVc.

Blue for me, so BLNR. Or, since we're using superheros, Batman.

I’m fortunate to own both and I smile with pride when I wear either one. BUT! I had the BNLR first.
The green sunburst dial is a stunner though!
