I am absolutely in love with my BLNR

Having had a SubC for a couple of years I just took the plunge and ordered a BLNR in a fit of madness.

At the AD I tried the Tudor BB Red on and bought that instead but with the flat sides in kind of went into my wrist on the left so I immediately returned it and went for the BLNR that I had asked them to hold.

Having had it for a day and being put on my brushed SubC bracelet I can say it is almost perfect and definitely a keeper.

Nice. I would like to see one in person. No AD near me has one.

Big congrats on the BLNR mate - I did the same thing when I got mine in 2009...bought a Sub C 97200 bracelet for it and now think it may well be the PERFECT watch.

Enjoy that beauty!!

I like the bracelet combo. Some folks are into the pcl oyster bracelet, but I think this way is better.

For me, whether the BLNR has a PCL or Brushed bracelet, it shall still look beautiful to me.

I think all GMT's should be brushed. The BLNR especially... PCL's and a blue/black bezel just didn't work for me. I had one on my wrist, held for me at an AD, and couldn't pull the trigger.
