Flip 114060 for Batman

[brandrea]

Personally I would not. Much prefer the 114060.

To me, you are better off selling yours prior, then buying a BLNR

+1 either way though, I wouldn’t do it. The Sub is a more versatile piece and a classic.

[nikesupremedunk]

I have both and I would recommend keeping both. I would always choose the BLNR over my ND but the whole reason why I bought the sub was because I wanted a better daily than the BLNR. There's enough room to keep both IMO.

In. A. Heartbeat.

[viper]

No way, keep the Sub.

[c41006]

Depends... will he let you drive the batmobile?

[Maiden]

I wouldn’t but I’m not a fan of the blnr. If you like it though, then why not.

I have mixed feelings about it. The Sub fit the bill on what I wanted out of a watch. Low key, great watch, last forever, and a clean dial.

Honestly, I bought the BLNR bc of the hype and the opportunity. It is a very nice watch and the dial/bezel combo is great.

It doesn’t blow me away but neither did the sub. I guess I knew I can always get the ND sub back and the BLNR may be harder to obtain at a decent price in the future. I don’t know that for sure, but it did weigh on my decision

They are both well rounded and fine watches. Good luck.

You'ld rather hide behind a woman's skirt like a coward than flip a Rolex like a real man.....or is it the other way round?

[CDNWatchNut]

I definitely wouldn't. The sub is a great daily wearer, and while I like the BLNR, to me its an occasional wearer in a collection.

[JRT]

Go ahead in a heartbeat.

I started with a Subc (3 weeks). Traded for a LV (2 weeks). Then picked up a BLNR (1 week). I love my duo now. I do miss my Subc though since it was my first Rolex. My thought was it was easier to replace if I really need to buy it again. The Subc has a beautiful dial. I actually didn't miss the date. Now that both my watches have a date I like looking at it. I will say the Sub is heavier and I like the non PCL's. I do love the BLNR bezel and GMT function. If I had to choose one I would keep the LV.

Totally agree.

[904VT]

I would add rather than trade. Plus the Glidelock is unbeatable

[Seaswirl]

I prefer Subs, so no.

[ferrissteve11]

I'd trade a no date, but a sub date I'd have to really think and ponder over.

[Hard_Six]

Do it!

[GSBC]

Absolutely.
The GMT complication is awesome and infinitely more useful (to me) than a time only watch. The wrist presence and look of the BLNR are miles ahead in comparison as well.

[Fleetlord]

Not enough information

[SeaDweller50]

Never buy a watch based on what other people think. Buy and wear the watch that YOU like most, not what I like.

[MHB]

The 114060 is pure Rolex minimalism at it's best. I say add.

[116710er]

I'm in the "add" camp too but if I had to pick one or the other, I'd pick BNLR every time. I love the blue in the bezel and it's not so bright that it stands out like crazy. It's just a nice little touch of color. Plus the GMT function is something I actually use. The Sub-C's bezel is very bland in comparison and not as useful as I don't dive with a Rolex...I use a dive computer and wear a Seiko cuz if I loose it, bang it up, break it, etc...so what.

I really don't understand the "overhyped" comments. The BLNR is a beautiful watch. It's not overhyped, it's desirable because it's gorgeous. Plus it's the first time Rolex has used a Black and Blue bezel, it's a two color single block of ceramic and it lumes blue. My only complaint is the PCL but I wish none of the stainless Rolex watches had PCL, not even the Daytona.

[efti]

BLNR but this is just me, if you like the design of the No Date stick to it and be happy

Not worth it IMO

The BLNR is way too flashy/blingy. The bezel’s numbers are large and obvious making the whole watch loud. It’s something one would understand only if they own it, not just by drooling and spreading more group think on the forums.

I have the 114060, and I'm have the BLNR arriving today. I'm not 100% sure if it's a keeper though, so I'll have to see how I feel once I have it on my wrist a few times. I will most likely never sell the 114060. I suspect you'll know better once you can see the BLNR in person.

[ikincooper]

I went through the same thought processes when I was looking to buy my BLNR but in the end decided to add to my Sub (ND) and am glad I did. Both get equal wear and I appreciate both individually. Yes I may now trade my Sub in for a SD4K but a diver will definitely stay to complement the BLNR. Similar but different enough to have both!

[Seibei]

I am a less is more kind of guy. 114060 for me.

Well we'll just have to disagree. I don't think it's "loud" but then again, I only own two BLNR's so what would I know...
