I have this watch and love the green/black contrast. Not sure about the blue/black on the PM model. Have to see that one.

Congrats, good looking Sub. I wouldn't wear it much, like maybe once a month when I feel like putting something green on the wrist, but worth having in a collection nonetheless. Some pieces are meant to be worn more sporadically than others, doesn't mean you shouldn't own them, IMHO.

I thought the exact same thing, now I can’t take it off. It would be like if I had some green on a piece of jewelry, you can still pretty much wear it with anything. With that said, I am sure once the honeymoon is over, I will go back to the BLNR and change them up.

JRell, I know how much you love your BLNR on jubilee. After the honeymoon wears off in a few months with your beautiful LV, which one would you keep, if you could only keep one for the rest of your life?!! Thanks in advance!

BLNR on Jubilee, but it is a close call. I still like blue better than green. The jubilee bracelet is very comfortable. You put it on and just wear it. The LV feels more noticeable on the wrist, more sturdy of a watch with more wrist presence. The BLNR would be more of a simple choice to just have one watch. Dress and sporty. Understated, yet also a statement watch that is unique.

I might actually like the look of the LV better. I have always liked the clean look of the Submariner better than the GMT. The green and black has a more distinct contrast vs blue and black. The BLNR just makes more sense to me for just one watch. I do wish the clasp on the BLNR didn’t have a PCL. It is a scratch magnet.
