Very nice. Congrats on the beautiful watch! It's colour coordinated to the BMW logo. I think it'll be cool for another day.

Interesting to see if this will be a fashion thing ore something that will last.
Its a swing and a miss..popular with the Rolex newbies but not with the aficionados..Had Rolex put out a SS new Pepsi instead of just the WG Pepsi, the sale of the BLNR would have been modest at best.

Ultimately Its a flipper...

Interesting point of view... I own and have owned all the Rolex sport models - what exactly is a newbie?

Great choice.

Rolex hit a home run with the BLNR. Beautiful rendition of the iconic GMT that has seen other variations (Coke, LN, Root beer) to it's BLRO theme being introduced over it's last 50 years. Any long-time enthusiast/collector understands that these color variations are part of the GMT's lineage. Mine instantly found a place in rotation among my 1675s, 16750, BLRO, etc.

It's a keeper, and fits right into it's natural environment...
