No. My best friend has the watch, it’s nice but definetly not the best on the market nor a classic, imo even the MK1 is more stylish and classy.

Out of the three in your signature I would say it was my least fave.

Actually I'm not 100% sure about it against the 116500 white, but if we are comparing to literally everything "on the market" you could upgrade the Daytona to the 116519LN ; for my own tastes the BLNR would definitely not be top dog out of those two "luxury sports watch" models. Not even going to try to compare something like a Platona as there's many tens of thousands of dollars of price difference. (though am not actually a huge fan of the platona[ducks])

Still, if you find yourself preferring it to your VC Overseas Chrono, I'd happily take that one off your hands in exchange for BLNR money...

The VC was a gift from my wife :)

No, but my wife loves it on me. My current swoon is SD43, which I just got Friday night.

I actually don’t care for it at all. I think the shade of blue reminds me of a toy for some reason.

A beautiful and very expensive toy

No absolutely NOT my favorite!!!
It is a nice watch like many others though...
just one of many...

Daytona

jagwap · 16 October 2018, 07:48 AM

It's not even my favourite Rolex, so given my favourite watches are from other brands (sorry but there are other brands) it is not anywhere on the list for me.

I love my GMTIIC LN though...

Largoshark · 16 October 2018, 08:04 AM

Nice, but definitely not my favorite...this is kind of a strange topic.

zakattack62 · 16 October 2018, 09:20 AM

Had one but unloaded it after 2 weeks so in my best Russian....NYET!!!!

avega357 · 16 October 2018, 10:50 AM

Yes, but if I owned a blro Pepsi, I. Might place it second

DramaTurtle · 16 October 2018, 11:26 AM

Got tired of it after 2 weeks.

dubins930 · 16 October 2018, 03:47 PM

No, my D-Blue fits that description and my SD43 after that.

encarter13 · 16 October 2018, 11:00 PM

I think it is a great SS reference. Easily in my Top 5 for SS.

mikkolopez · 16 October 2018, 11:03 PM

Been offered 2 on 2 separate occasions and turned it down on both.

If I was offered the rootbeer then that would’ve been in my wrist now.

Personally not a fan of GMT(sorry fan boys) but thinks it’s fairly clear from posts here and elsewhere SS Daytona and SS SkyD (especially the blue) are the hardest to source, especially atRRP

peterskinner · 17 October 2018, 12:38 AM

I don't care for the GMT complication, which has little real use these days, I don't care for the cumbersome date change design, and I find the modern ceramic too 'bling' and obvious. The point seems to be to shout 'Rolex'.
So, maybe not my favourite, on balance. My preferred 'sports' model is probably the 43mm. At least it's in a simple black finish, and while pretty big, not boastful.
A minority view I suppose; fortunately, I do like the early iterations of the GMT, which were pretty classy.

red1108nyc · 17 October 2018, 12:56 AM

Like all things vibrant in color, BLNR faded quickly for me. I have owned it twice and sold it both times.

rich_harris · 17 October 2018, 01:00 AM

My favourite Rolex yes - but my favourite watch at the moment is my Panerai 562.

I am on the "list" at my AD and hopefully, the BLNR will come by end of the year. My daily will still be GMT IIC LN. However, BLNR will be a great addition. Who knows, it may turn out to be my favorite.

kauffee · 17 October 2018, 01:09 AM

I'd describe the shade of blue on the BLNR as "electric." It's really perfect. My dad has one and I can't stop staring at it when he wears it. They really nailed that blue color. It's my favorite GMT.
