Too bad the smurf had to go, love the blue. The blro is a fantastic piece, though, so enjoy! Like someone said, get a ss sub as the pair, if you miss having a diver. Maybe a Hulk, for some added color.

Bascially the dial and bezel were same color which I found just a bit over the top. That said, I tend to flip so I can pretty much provide a reason for any watch, even perfect ones
sounds like a well thought out decision, that is until they release a sunburst WG Sub

Congrats again

I think you'd be the first one here.

That watch is near perfect so I'll take a little time to decide if it stays or goes. The weight is amazing on PM watches and this one is no different although my wrist sense says the smurf edges it in weight. To the pics

Congrats beautiful watch mate!! I have to say the WG is far nicer than YG (only in my opinion not wishing to insult anyone here). WG or SS suits me better and hence I prefer it but I think it looks more tool watch to use a phrase. Great choice I wouldn't change that for YG at all. Enjoy your new Rolex!!

No no don't ditch the BLNR its immense looking!! Not all Rolex have to be gold!! SS is superb true tool watch!! Albeit same basically as the WG GMT which I get, the BLNR is amazing on its own. Unless you sell to me at a good price😜

I think I would too. The BLRO is definitely an all around upgrade over the BLNR.
