Nicknames are so much easier to roll off the tongue than some 6 digit secret codes :)

How about "The Lord of Darkness" for the LN?

I'd vote for BLNR, by the way.

The nature of gmt should be 2-tone while sub is single color bezel.

Both very nice, but have a slight preference for the LN.

How about "black gmt"? It's not exactly Latin.

If people start calling the LN "The Lord of Darkness" then I think that's when it's time for me to quit reading TRF. It's really not that difficult

Letters differentiate bezel colors. We're only talking 6 digits and pretty intuitive designations

I think the GMT2c is an amazing watch in any iteration.

My opinion...if you start adding colors to the bezel, then the BLRO is what gets my motor running. The black and blue, while nice doesn't give me the bang for the buck you have to pay over the LN.

Batman vs. The Dark Knight

My vote goes to the LN / all black bezel (didn't knew it is being called the dark night)

I don't like the BLNR blue color bezel, too bright / flashy for my taste. As said above, like the all black bezel of the LN instead and its subtle green ascents which tributes the Rolex green color.

If we're looking for a nickname for LN, what about Darth Vader?
