Prefer the Sub--don't like the red/blue ceramic

Prefer the sub, not a fan of how the red/blue comes across in the ceramic.

BLRO.

But - if the Sub had the sunburst blue dial, then it would be the Sub by a long shot.

BLRO - I think although both are tool models, I prefer the sub in steel - both are beautiful of course! A personal choice for sure! Good luck!

Definitely no wrong decision. I have the Smurf and have recently lusted after the BLRO. Once I tried it on though there wasn't enough of a reason for me to warrant changing it. I think at the end of the day I would have missed the blue of the Smurf too much. I vote Sub!!

I'd have to say the GMT...but it'd be the Sub if it was the black. Not digging the total blue look.

BLRO definitely!

Now that I've achieved my BLNR it occupies the Grail spot alongside the Breguet Marine Chrono....

This is the hardest "which one" in a long time. I think the blro would win in the end. I really like the "smurf" (the watch not the nickname) but in the end the tie breaker would be that IMO in the very back of my mind I think a sub, the ultimate tool diver, should be ss. Again not a deal breaker on the smurf alone but would put the blro a head in this matchup.
