I agree Chris.

I owned the LN for several years and flipped it for one of my grails. So far I don't miss it. If I were to reaquire it would be the blnr

I've had both and either works. I sold the LN and kept the BLNR. Both are great watches, but I feel the BLNR is just a little extra special.

LN is more iconic. BLNR is more young, trendy, splash of style and more fun. Cant go wrong with either.

Both amazing watches and love them both but I voted BLNR because I have one.
I wear it a lot and could easily have it as a one and only watch and wear it with everything.

BLNR, being two tone bezel you can wear this with jeans 👖 and this would be a perfect match

I had both. I definately prefer the BLNR even though I sold it. The Blue Black is really cool and under some lighting almost looks all black even. Definately just as versatile. Get the BLNR!!

Either would be a great choice, but if pushed I would pick the BLNR.

If you only will have one Rolex I would choose LN over BNLR

This is what we call a WIN-WIN!! My fav feature of the GMT is the PCLs. I own the BLNR and it truly my favorite watch AND my daily wearer. I love the touch of blue that the bezel has. I would not stress too much, there is not a bad decision between the two. If you love BLUE, its really easy.......

I'm having a similar problem.. Looking for my first serious watch. I'm torn between the BLNR and the Sub. Personally leaning towards the BLNR but the wife has pointed out that the subs a classic. The current hype on the BLNR might not last as long as the sub's appeal.

BLNR.

For me, GMT is bi-colour. Sub is black.

BLNR is more special and unique than LN. However, GMT II LN is a bargin and good choice.

I have a BLNR, and I would go LN. All black works better for me. BLNR is my fun watch.

I don't think it's hype, blue is a popular colour and the bezel colours make perfect sense, more so than the coke or pepsi, so I suspect they will be popular for quite some time yet so don't let that put you off if you prefer it to the sub.

Huge GMTc fan, wears incredible and kinda goes away while maintaining integrity and Rolex presence if someone is looking for/at it. As for the color, i'd go with LN, classic, versatile, slightly less bling and blends with all outfits, plus is a classic color thats been an option for a very long time. BTW: the PCL are somewhat the icing on the cake, adds to any casual outfit even outdoorsy/Polartec and look at ease with more upscale/suite wearing options...

I voted BLNR based on looks. But if you're to only have one watch the LN may be the best "all-a-rounder" for you. Get what appeals to YOU most.
