X2. The new BLNR is a lot more upscale/flashy than the SS Sub. I find the SS Sub too conservative for my personal style. Function wise, I use my GMT bezel for simple timing like I do my diver bezels. I just find the 4 hand look more interesting for my needs.

I'd keep the LN. Having tried both multiple times the BLNR just didn't work for me and I went LN, which was fine because I wore Pepsi, Coke and LN in the 5 digits and the LN was by far the most versatile of the three.
Same goes for the 6 digit version.
Whatever choice you make, dont do it because of the hype, and the BLNR has a bad history of hype surrounding it.

Is this your only piece? I have a Subc and Blnr in my collection. I struggled for awile wanting the LN but thought it would be redundant with the Sub so I did go for the Blnr when my AD offered it to me. I do love the bezel however the blue 24hr hand doesn't pop like the green on the LN and the gmt script on the dial is also white and not colored like the LNs. It's really all about the bezel which i do love compared to all of the black in my collection. The LN would be the perfect one watch collection but if your adding to then the Blnr is the right choice, regardless though the blue on the bezel will never let you down.

I had the LN and sold it for the BLNR Oyster when it 1st came out so I say go for it.

I was in a unique position to buy either one I wanted, the AD had both in stock. Tried them both on and went with the LN. Pictures of the BLNR are terrific, but I think on the wrist the LN is a better all around watch.

I would but only if BLNR is on oyster. The black and blue give it a great look and versatility.

I think the green hour hand and GMT font is very underrated. I say keep what you got, especially if you are the first and only owner.

You black Bezel is the perfect watch.

BLNR. The all black is just a little too boring. The blue just ads that excitment but still keeps it looking subtle and not over the top like the red/pink might do.

I own an LN and have seen BLNR many times, always in sunny conditions I have been underwhelmed by the blue, it’s very vibrant, but I don’t like it on the watch. Of the two I prefer the LN. Over the last few months I have even started to prefer the LN over my 126710 BLRO.

It’s a matter of personal preference, but I’d be on the opposite side of that trade.

LN is nicer much more understated,

Ugh.. just listed my LN for sale and now reading all these posts, I'm having second thoughts. LOL
