I was after a BBB then this happened!
I was in the AD to try some Tudors and tried some Black Bays (ETA powered). When I wanted to compare with a SubC, they told me the closest they have is a BLNR.
It was love at first sight all over again. Almost this time last year, I was between Milgauss and BLNR. Well lets just say, I was not able to get over BLNR. Since my DaytonaC order is no where near, I pulled the trigger on this beauty. So far so good. Here are some obligatory wrist shots.

Great watch and Congrats! You made the right choice, although the Milgauss and BBB are nice as well but more readily available. Cheers!

Same scenario here. I want the BBB now before the old goes out of stock and I have a white DaytonaC on the way at some point. The only glitch in my acquiring any of these I have a sneaking suspicion that my wife is buying me a BLNR and has been waiting on it for a while now.
