I'd describe the shade of blue on the BLNR as "electric." It's really perfect. My dad has one and I can't stop staring at it when he wears it. They really nailed that blue color. It's my favorite GMT.

I prefer the black personally but love the batman as well. I just feel the standard black bezel is more versatile but I am on a list for a batman and will decide when I get the call if it's the right look for me.

Absolutely - after getting mine I have no desire to wear or purchase any other watch.

Maybe time to sell my ExII?

It was until this morning when I got the call from the AD about the BLRO. They look good together!

It's my #1 on some days and my #2 on others, but it's certainly up there. I've had several brands and several more expensive watches, but that BLNR is one of the rare watches that stopped me in my tracks when I saw it.

Realistically, BLNR fights for 3rd most desirable for me.
My list:
Daytona C

SS skydweller

5 digit Coke GMT

BLNR

Loved mine but dumped it for my 228235. Still not sure whether I loved it more than my Milgauss 116400GV. I'm down to wearing only one watch. Just my preference.

Do not buy the WG Datonay Oysterflex. Beware. It will become your new favorite watch.
