OP: Did you ever make the call on this?

Two great watches. For me, it would come down to if you needed the GMT complication or not.

It was s really tough choice! After much thought I decided to go with the Bluesy! My wife made the comment that from 10 feet away she couldn't tell the difference between my SD4k and the BLNR. She also suggested the blue dial on the Bluesy would round out my collection s bit. Pics follow soon!

Can't go wrong either way... as a diver fan, I'd say bluesy though...

I prefer the bluesy over the BLNR. No wrong choice between the two.

IMHO: Sell SD4k and get a gold gmt or sub.
The bluesy is the obvious choice, BUT seems you like monochromatic watches. Been there, done that. I sold min. 4 TT
Out of the two above as an edc the BLNR is probaly better... but if you like gold and you got the cash... Why do you have the SD4k? Are you a pro diver? Do you wear it on a daily basis? Why do you need the new watch?

PS: if TT, have you considered TT GMT II? Best of the two above..

Good luck!

Good choice on the Bluesy

Mine says hello. I flipped my BLNR for this a while ago.

Been wearing this for a while now and I still absolutely love it. Its never boring due to the sunburst dial and the gold centre links. Its perfect.
