LN or BLNR?

I've had the LN for 10 years now and it basically works ... nearly everywhere and with nearly everything. Shorts & t-shirt to jeans to business casual, and with any type or color of shirt. IMHO, it's too chunky for a finely tailored suit or formal attire. Other than that, it just covers the spectrum from sporty to sophisticated with the polished center links and reflective black bezel.

Lots of BLNR fans on the forum and I think it's a fine watch but some would argue that the splash of blue keeps it slightly less flexible than the LN and total lunatics, not me mind you, argue that it looks like a toy. ;-)

I actually find the whole LN vs BLNR thing a bit ridiculous. I've been wearing GMTs for decades, primarily because I use the second and third timezones constantly for work. GMTs were never Rolex's most popular watches, they always just sat around in the display cases while the subs flew into new owners' hands. But they have always been great and highly functional. So I'm always amazed at how many "discovered" the GMT only when Rolex added a splash of blue to the bezel. It is 99.9% the identical watch to the LN and carrying a big premium, so you'd better like that blue...

But back to my original thought: try it on and see if it's for you...
