This is my BLNR. There are many like it but this one is mine.

I thought the black bezeled GMTIIC was the best all around watch but Rolex went and out did themselves. The Day/Night GMTIIC is spectacular! I have owned 63 watches including Panerai, Omega, Tudor along with 2/3 of that total being Rolex and this is the best watch I have owned. The way the blue and black bezel changes in the light makes this watch oh so interesting. I also like the wording on the dial in white better than the green on the regular GMTIIC. As good as it looks in photos, it's even better in person. This in my humble opinion is the best all around watch made today and not just by Rolex. Go out and buy it. Do it now.

It's a cracking watch, but the PM versions crack even more.
