Nicely done!!! Enjoy it!!!

GB-man · 14 February 2016, 01:25 AM

Congrats! I'd be inclined to free the blnr so it doesn't get relegated to the watch box crying all day

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

I flipped my WG sub for the same reason. Now I'm itching for a PM Rolex and I've been thinking about the Pepsi. Congrats and looking forward to seeing more pics.

Beauty, congrats!

nyc2la · 14 February 2016, 01:33 AM

Congrats! It looks awesome. What else is in your stable? I'd want to keep a SS to use on weekends/vacations/beach days or the like. I have an SDc, which accomplishes that. I don't wear it as much as I used to given some recent pickups, but the SDc certainly serves an important role. Congrats again, the BLRO is so sweet! 👏👏

AP1 - Wow! Beautiful. Since you have both the BLNR and BLRO....and since there has been some talk about a possible "blueberry" bezel GMT with slightly different hues of blue.....is the blue from the BLRO the same as the blue from the BLRO exactly the same? How about the smurf blue vs blnr blue vs blro blues? If not, what is the difference in terms of shade or tone?

Roll the Lex · 14 February 2016, 02:09 AM

Congrats! It's a fantastic watch!

These are some good questions and the reason why I'd likely keep the blnr at least through Basel. Personally doubt the blueberry gmt given the success of blnr. But of course I have no clue on that. The blue is Different than Blro for sure. Some say violet on the blro, wouldn't go that far but the shade is lighter for sure. Truth be told I like blue better on blnr. Sadly, no side by sides with smurf

I'd say blue on smurf is much closer to blnr blue.

Many congrats my friend! I'd sell the BLNR for a YG Subc... I think you are ready.

What about 116718 green for the trifecta? I need more enabling for the full yg watch. Once my 15202 sells I'm already scheming.

Hodog16 · 14 February 2016, 06:43 AM

Great watch! I'd say sell the BLNR and get a Sub-C. If it were me no way the BLNR would get any wrist time with that beauty around.

I was somewhat going through the same dilemma myself on what to shoot for, the 116619 or the BLRO. The glidelock is the clincher for me. With that said if an updated Coke comes out that will be target #1.

Brian Page · 14 February 2016, 07:05 AM

well done! Enjoy!!

tkerrmd · 14 February 2016, 07:41 AM

You will never want the BLNR anymore!
