Hi I just bought a gmt SS BNIB I haven't worn it yet since it left the store I'm debating right now if it's worth it to get a blnr and add $1500 more for the half colored bezel what do you guys think? Thank you in advance

mjclark32 · 20 May 2014, 07:48 AM

Did you try one on before purchasing the LN? Why didn't you go for the BLNR from the beginning?

Keith1 · 20 May 2014, 07:48 AM

I have never seen one in person, but $1500 for half of the bezel being blue does seem a little much.

Sportwatchmania · 20 May 2014, 07:49 AM

And an other GMT hand color

Hard to tell. Depence on your bank balance and if you think it's worth it. I have a sub and if i bought a GMT it would be the BLNR be cause of the blue and black bezel. Otherwise i would looks to much as a sub imo.

Good luck with your decision

ExplorerChris · 20 May 2014, 07:51 AM

I'd stick with what I purchased
Everyone else will get the BLNR you won't and therefore stand out

Lns888 · 20 May 2014, 07:58 AM

They don't have the blnr that time but I found a store that has it and asking me to pay 1500 more

crowncollection · 20 May 2014, 07:59 AM

1500 more for the same watch, not me, i will wait until the demand dies

What do you mean stand out?

luvsub · 20 May 2014, 08:16 AM

Take the one you like. BLNR is a nice one.

Racerdj · 20 May 2014, 08:18 AM

Depends on what you think while on your wrist. I like the BLNR so I would do it.

Kiddodoc · 20 May 2014, 08:48 AM

I would do it but I have other black watches. If you don't have a sub, DSSD or sea dweller then keep it.

subtona · 20 May 2014, 08:51 AM

black for me.

or pepsi, but i don't think we are having that conversation here

or my first choice, older pepsi.

ExplorerChris · 20 May 2014, 09:25 AM

Just mean that people will be getting the new half colored bezel andif it were me I'd have something different that you're not going to see on every other wrist

nauticajoe · 20 May 2014, 09:28 AM

There had to be a good reason why you purchased it. Give it a shot. You may regret later.

GradyPhilpott · 20 May 2014, 09:37 AM

Just get the one you like best.

The LNs are beautiful.

I'm not sure why I was drawn to the BLNR so much, since I never gave it a second thought while I was waiting for the inevitable SS Pepsi.

Then when Rolex introduced the Pepsi in WG and the shock wore off, I began to look at the BLNR more closely and I liked what I saw.

On the whole, it's a watch's function that is most important.

beshannon · 20 May 2014, 09:51 AM

I think you should get the one you like the most

Yes go back and get it

Sean9689 · 20 May 2014, 10:30 AM

BLNR is straight up baller...I've had many different models and it's my favorite out of them all. Casual, dressy, not too flashy but does stand out. Perfect watch, IMO. I vote BLNR!

I say change it fast before you regret it. Your mind is already playing tricks on you by telling you, not to wear the one you brought. Later on that same $ 1,500 will seem small if you find that you really don't like what you have and you decide to trade/sell it and take a hit along with having to shell out more money just to buy one. Follow your heart and what sings to you.

Rolex_Persia · 20 May 2014, 10:39 AM

BLNR gonna stand out for sure but LN is classy and subtle. I suggest go back to your AD and try both side by side and pick one and don't look back.

This.

aikenna · 20 May 2014, 11:39 AM

BLNR all the way! It's a really beautiful timepiece I must say. And yes, it DOES stand out in a gorgeous way.

red1108nyc · 20 May 2014, 12:07 PM

Blnr

Ryuden · 20 May 2014, 12:29 PM

1500 is a bit to much just for a different color gmt hand and half bezel BUT go get it...!

thomaspp · 20 May 2014, 12:45 PM

Nah

kilyung · 20 May 2014, 12:49 PM

I'd keep it.

I'd stick with the LN...saw the blue and knew right away I'd be tired of it long term.
