Thanks guys for the responses!

The BLNR is the clear winner here.

I'll try both once again at my local rolex, but I havent been able to make up my mind. Maybe its best to give it some time and keep loving my YM.

Either GMT. Just keep trying them both on until one clicks with you.

I've never measured it. I wear my watches with all links and th clasp set on the tightest notch. The easy link is not extended. I think it's about 7.25".

I'm going through a similar process right now. I think a GMT makes a great everyday watch, either the LN or the BLNR. Perhaps the LN is the safest, most versatile piece in the Rolex sport lineup, but the BLNR is classic GMT, I think, with the bi-color bezel.

I have an LN and BLNR and the LN is more subtle and gets the most wear.

My thoughts exactly

Unless I loved the BLNR I would not pay the premium. I would go with the LN.

either would be perfectly fine for a one watch, I would go blnr for sure. something a little different and the blue is a nice splash of color but most will never notice it is blue besides you anyway.

LN - it looks more versatile and green accent on the dial (GMT hand and fonts) is nicer than blue.

100% the LN - classy, also a worker fits all outfits, and occasions, I wear mine with suit for work or shorts and t shirt can also very good waterproof and not as common as sub. The blnr just doesn't fit as many categories or looks due to the colour. LN all the way.

This was my only watch for about 10 years, and is still my favorite, a GMT LN is in my opinion very versatile and the perfect 1 watch to have.
