Def a great daily wearer

SrFADE · 28 March 2015, 02:10 AM

Yup - BLNR most days of the week and either Speedmaster or SubC on the weekend, depending on activities (wet vs. dry) It is most definitely a "daily wear" timepiece and, IMHO, one of the most versatile in the Rolex line.

heck of a duo!

I have worn mine every day for over a year now. I hit it lightly with a slice cloth (I forget the maker) two times. I take it off for sleep, shower and gym. Looks great.

I fly often and respond to our HQ which is overseas so I actually use the GMT name times per day.

A GREAT daily wearer. Inly the second watch I have ever owned that I think will stay with me forever. Likely go to my son one day.

Had mine for a week. Already got a few scratches but I don't mind.

It's a Rolex sports watch, designed to be used

blacksun · 25 April 2019, 08:02 AM

Just bought one for me from a grey , paid a lot premium... I love my Batman too much that can not wear it daily.. I wear a classic SS Black 116710LN daily... not BLNR...

I did the exact same as this genius gentleman a year ago. The PCL's didn't quite grow on me as I thought they would.

Old thread but hell yes you can

eco8gator · 25 April 2019, 10:42 AM

I daily my BLNR. It is a fantastic watch and is on my opinion one of the most practical and useful watches that Rolex makes.

I rarely take my watch off (heck I sleep with it) and yes I do desk dive with it. It does get some light scratches on the PLCs and clasp but it doesn't bother me.

^ PCLs get a little scratched up, but I'm rough on it. Definitely my daily beater. I treat others much, much more gently. It's exactly in the same ballpark as my Landcruiser. Designed to be used. Hard.

nikesupremedunk · 25 April 2019, 11:44 AM

I couldn't do it when I had mine. That's why I ended up buying a Sub to daily. To me, it was more of a special weekender than just a daily watch.

JRT · 25 April 2019, 12:16 PM

The BLNR has been my daily wearer since I bought it in June 2014.

Jimmy Jam Jam · 25 April 2019, 12:16 PM

its such a nice daily mate! i wear mine to work, its got looooooong scratches on my case ( accidentally sneezed in the toilet and as my hand came up to cover my nose i wacked the watch off the door handle)

i have so many micro scratches but over time, it kind of blends in and give it more character

bonovox · 25 April 2019, 12:27 PM

Wear it and forget about it. It's a terrific daily mate.

Tqmb79 · 25 April 2019, 12:27 PM

Easily can wear it every day at any occasion dressed up or down.

Pauln · 25 April 2019, 12:30 PM

Why couldn’t you wear it daily?

Dc1030 · 25 April 2019, 02:19 PM

This one or a Pepsi is my dream daily wearer! I'm sure it would wear like my Sub :)

brucethemanlee · 25 April 2019, 02:29 PM

sure no problem

Rockland · 25 April 2019, 02:37 PM

I wore my BLNR daily for 18 months. Great watch. Never gave a 2nd thought to PCLs or scratches. For past 6 months I have been wearing my AP Ti44 as a daily though....Guess I am still in my AP honeymoon phase :)

Me too!! I love the total brushed look.

Joearch · 25 April 2019, 03:10 PM

I don’t sweet the pcl much. I have had mine since 2014. Great watch. Just wear it, try not to over think it.

Panader · 25 April 2019, 03:20 PM

I have worn a BLNR for the past two years, rarely taking it off. I even wear it in the gym and gardening, and camping.

It has four million scratches, and some dents.

If I knew the price was going to go up so much I would have babied it a bit more. I will try to keep my Sky Dweller in better shape.

I would just go buy a no date sub or explorer 1 to experience the brushed look, but I do not like that I have to get down on my knees at the AD just to buy such basic watches.

Goughie · 25 April 2019, 04:37 PM

I’ve worn mine literally every day for 4 years until last week when I got a second watch, I think I’ll probably get it polished now and wear at weekends

I work at a desk and the marks are from resting my arms on it, and rubbing when typing on a keyboard.

Although.... do I have any regrets..... not in the slightest! It’s an awesome what and a good daily in office environments. The PCLs do shine a lot under lights which I can see why people might feel conscious about wearing it
