BLNR or Bi Colour Blue Sub Sunburst Dial

Can't decide - opinions would be much appreciated!

I generally prefer Subs over GMTs, but in this case I'd go BLNR.
IF you were to put the TT Sub against the GMT LN, I'd go Sub.
All depends on the look YOU want.

Do not like Sunburst Dial at all but the TT Sub is heaps better than the GMT.

This one as the dial is beautiful changing colors during different lighting conditions.

This is a big debate for me also as my choice of Rolex has come down to the TT Blue Sunburst Sub or the BLNR.

I like both watches enormously and have tried both on at the AD. My head says the BLNR as it is more wearable everyday, more discrete and probably a ''long term watch" but my heart and eyes are always drawn to the TT Blue Sub.

If you already have an SS watch then the TT bluesy... and probably if you don't as well.

I have a submariner with the sunburst dial and I have to agree that it does change color I certain light conditions. It's almost dark navy blue at night and bright blue in the day. I personally chose that kind of submariner style over the other sport watches because it really a classic and I think it looks great

All depends on the look you're after and your lifestyle. Myself I would go sub, I think the best looking TT out there (IMO of course). If you're not into TT though, or do a lot of traveling, that pretty much answers that...
