I have said it before and I will say it again: I just can't get over how popular the BNLR is. It's a great watch, a great look, and a great calibre, but I never saw this coming. I always thought the eventual SS Pepsi would be the belle of of the ball.

I love the BLNR, but I actually prefer the regular all black green GMT hand. I know I am in the minority, but I think the Batman can look a bit cheesy in bright light. I wore my buddy's today, and thought it just wouldn't feel right with a suit. Maybe the best casual/business casual watch out there, but I think the LN is more versatile. I know... Blasphemous!!

Not blasphemous at all. I have the BLNR, but if I ever decide to go down to a one-watch existence, the LN will be that one watch. I think it is the most versatile watch currently available.

And let's keep this thread beautiful with more pics...

Agreed. Amazing shot of your BLNR.

Not really a fan of the bracelet. Horween please.



Actually, I think a good strap separates a watch owner from a watch lover. Everyone can buy a watch, but it takes a lot of time and effort to find a perfect strap for your watches for every occasion.

I'm sure it won't. It would piss off a lot of WG BLRO owners, making their 30k watch look like an 8k watch on the wrist.

Never piss off your premium customers.

Exactly right. I hope there's never a steel version of the current BLRO. I can't imagine that Rolex would do this to us.

I have no doubt that they will, and I have no doubt that it will be a big seller.

This isn't going to be everyone's cup of tea, but I love it. I picked up a custom digi camo band from Aaron Bespoke/Combat straps. I also got a pair of Bergeon 7825 tweezers to make swapping back and forth a breeze.

I love paella. Especially when it's perfect.

What are those green things with the golf ball marks on them?

I discovered this about a month ago (Big Green Egg).. Used to cook on gas. Never looked back. Cooked roast leg lamb on it (beautiful char and succulent) , sea bass, steak, everything. It's like having a top pro charcoal grill, clay oven in your garden all at once!!
