Both are great, but I'd pick the BLNR.

Both are great pieces but if you want something that stands apart from the crowd a bit go BLNR. Still haven't seen another one in the wild yet.

BLNR for the unique dash of colour, standing out slightly from the sea of black bezeled watches.

BLNR...the new icon. The TT ceramic marks the beginning of manufacturing change that will be with us for the coming century...or more.
Plus blue and black provide a bit of color and yet still goes witth most any clothing in any environment I would find myself in. The all black is also nice but Im not partial to green (24 he hand) and as put prior...it may well get lost in the sea of black bezels out there. The blue is certainly less common. |

I did the BLNR but already had the Sub C. Full coverage. BLNR is really beautiful in person.

BLNR looks very nice in every pics that I've seen online, however, it doesn't have the same impression in real life, imo. I just bought a ND Sub C last Friday at my local ad and was contemplating till the very last moment b/w SS Subs n GMTs. Also, I already own a YMII and it has a blue bezel so that kinda factored into my new purchase as well. Good luck! Either way you will love the watch:)

There is no wrong answer but the BLNR would be my choice.

I gotta say the BLNR, though I'm biased but with good reasons.
The all-black is pretty decent but that little blue on the BLNR gives you a little joy to look at. At certain angles you can't even see the blue, especially in office lighting so it's a bit understated in that sense. But under the sun the watch is lively, great as an outdoor watch as well. IMHO, I'm sure Rolex will issue other bi-colour ceramic bezels but at least BLNR is the first, so this is the future's "historic" piece. I'm glad I picked this up and I'm sure many here feels the same. Good luck with your decision! |

It sounds like you favor the BLNR, just not having to pay the little extra. Even though the all black is beautiful - it will never bring you the joy that the BLNR will.
Save up and get the one that you want. They are both great. |

I am a BLNR owner, and I say the all black is the way I would go and I would hold tight for the potential Coke.

LN, but in biased. The BLNR doesn't look good to my eye.
And I might be slow today, but I don't know what a 2t is. |

LN or Pepsi. Half blue bezel looks out of balance, IMHO, considering that the other half has the same colour as the dial. I loved it when it first came out, now I prefer the looks and under-the-radar decency of the all black.
