Hello.
This is my first post and I need your opinion.
I usually never have problem choosing,
but this one I would like to hear more opinions.
I have already read most threads regarding both models.

I have 14060m and black bay burgundy, and would like to get either BLNR or 116713 tt.

I have tried both at local AD, and 116713 sings more to me.
But I'm worried that I wouldn't wear it as much due to the fact
that I wear casual 99% of the time, even at work.

BLNR was nice as expected, but nothing wow. I think it will
grow as I wear it? And I would be able to wear it whilst I work.
(Not too blingy)

I'm turning 35, and I wouldn't be able to flip easily where I live.
Thanks in advance.

Id choose the gmt

jack81 · 28 March 2015, 12:37 AM

I would get the Blnr if it was me, which i did. It will not just grown on you, it will take most of your wrist time

nick c · 28 March 2015, 12:38 AM

TT is sexy

Comacho · 28 March 2015, 12:42 AM

Yeah the TT is really gorgeous and a little more "fancy". Between these two I'd go with the TT GMT but it's certainly not for everyone. LOVE the BLNR though.

It is the same price. (that's after 10% dc)

JD521 · 28 March 2015, 02:09 AM

I was in the same boat as well...looking at both TT GMT and Sub. But took a step back and asked myself what would be a more versatile watch (for me that is). Ended up going with the BLNR. Name: ImageUploadedByTapatalk1427472499.671793.jpg

Based on you collection and what you have written, I would suggest the 116713. You already have two SS sport watches. A TT watch would make a great addition to your collection. The 116713 will look good with business and casual wear.

irish john · 28 March 2015, 02:54 AM

I would go TT ,,

hojuturtle · 28 March 2015, 02:59 AM

Thanks for your replies.
I still have 3 weeks to think about..

GermanyMatt · 28 March 2015, 03:04 AM

Have you looked at the blue two-tone?

I also have the BLNR and love it.

watchwatcher · 28 March 2015, 03:05 AM

Sounds like you want/like the TT...so go for it. As far as the BLNR growing on you, don't count on it.

engin33r · 28 March 2015, 03:10 AM

Tt 116713

fishingbear · 28 March 2015, 03:11 AM

I think you know which one, the 116713 seems to be what you want. As for casual wearing, I don't see why not, I think the tt is flexible enough to look good in and out of a suit.
I think both will grow on you, but it's even more important to like it from the beginning. I think the tt is the more flexible of the two in which it looks great in any suit and looks right at home in a tshirt and jeans, either way both great choices and will satisfy your needs.

The BLNR is my next watch.

luvsub · 28 March 2015, 03:23 AM

Tt

brandrea · 28 March 2015, 03:27 AM

BLNR here, not a fan of two tone even though 116713 is the best looking one in the Rolex line up IMO

Askewww · 28 March 2015, 03:29 AM

Easy blnr

Brucie D · 28 March 2015, 03:33 AM

My vote, plus it is less expensive:

Good friend has this model; wears it with jeans, shorts/flip flops, to the gym...Always looks great. (Not him, the watch

)

sickened1 · 28 March 2015, 03:46 AM

Yup, always get whatever sings to you more and besides... you could always flip it later.

Yeap you're correct. I did like the gmt TT for a long time.
Then I've realised the versatility of blnr.
Thanks. I'll keep you posted.

Oh my apologies I didn't read your post properly.

Yes, I have tried it before and it is definitely amazing in person. But it wouldn't get much wrist time from me as it's
too shiny to wear at work (I'm a chef, and I do think blue two tone is a bit overboard in the kitchen environment.

)

Have to agree, the BLNR is nice but the TT is rather spectacular.

HogwldFLTR · 28 March 2015, 04:49 AM

For me it would be the TT Sub in a heart beat.
