BLNR or Yachtmaster Blue dial?
The never ending debate continues :)
Which would you choose for your everyday watch? |

I Would say blnr for an everyday watch. I love the regular platty yachtmaster more than I do the blue.
And the blnr is slightly less expensive so you could put the extra bucks towards your next purchase.. |

YM for sure.............if it was between the YM blue dial and the regular black GMT-IIC, that would be a toss up. The blue on the BLNR just doesn't work. On the other hand, the blue dial on the YM is stunning!!!!!
Good luck!!!!!! |

Can't beat BLNR for daily wear. Second time zone is a big bonus for traveling.

Both are very beautiful. But I will pick the BLNR as my daily driver.

I think both watches can be an everyday wearer. Try them on and choose what sings to you the best.

I have read that the Pt. Bezel scratches easily, so the gmt would make for a better daily wearer... oh, and I think it is a nicer watch too! ;.)

BOTH!
JK... Well... somewhat. As a BLNR owner, I'd say it depends. If you travel frequently and would use the time zone feature as more than just a novelty, then the GMT is a no brainer. If you don't travel much, I'd go with the YM. Just my opinion though. As has been said though, you cant go wrong with either choice. |

Get whichever one sings to you most. Personally I prefer the BLNR but what matters is one you prefer! Good luck and either way you end up with a great watch!

I'd go with the BLNR first over the YM but I do like that blue dial.
