I've been deliberating this for a while. Do share your thoughts and why you'd choose one over the other.

Many thanks!!

Nairn1980 · 7 December 2016, 05:34 AM

If I had an LN I'd want to trade it for a BLNR absolutely!!
I've got a BLNR and it's a wonderful watch!!

toneafficianado · 7 December 2016, 05:36 AM

Yes. I have a Blnr and love the blue on the bezel and 24 hr hand.
Both great though..only cosmetic differences.
You'll probably have to pay more for Blnr.

beer · 7 December 2016, 05:36 AM

i prefer the LN because i am not a huge fan of blue

if i did buy a BLNR it would be because of the popularity among other people aka resale value

Etschell · 7 December 2016, 05:37 AM

nope. it would require cash. for the 2k id rather put it toward something else.

tkerrmd · 7 December 2016, 05:53 AM

I like the blue so yes.

rolexnub · 7 December 2016, 06:00 AM

Yes ... the BLNR is more beautiful than the LN.

GMT Aviator · 7 December 2016, 06:10 AM

No ... the LN is more beautiful than the BLNR.

RichM · 7 December 2016, 06:30 AM

I did. Then flipped the BLNR towards the BLRO.

Bluside · 7 December 2016, 06:54 AM

Life can be too black and white already. I like to add a little color.

traf · 7 December 2016, 07:05 AM

Yes. Love the bicolor bezel

I go back and forth on this. I lean towards LN, however if it is going to be part of a larger collection, I would say BLNR.

Shichinin · 7 December 2016, 07:10 AM

I have a BLNR and biased towards it. So I would trade LN for a BLNR.
I find blue on the bezel charming. If you like blue go for it.

dr35mm · 7 December 2016, 07:12 AM

I would keep the LN as my only watch.

If its part of a collection, I would go for the BLNR.

Lordofrolex · 7 December 2016, 07:16 AM

I wouldn't. The LN is a classic watch. If you want more color i guess you could do it. How much do you need to add. That would also be a major deciding factor.

armen34 · 7 December 2016, 07:17 AM

Yes!

yorkef · 7 December 2016, 07:18 AM

Depends on how much you have to put up for trade. BLNR is much nicer than LN in my opinion but essentially they are same watch.

X2 completely depends on how much your putting in cash. I wouldn't trade same year watch for 1000 more as stated it's the same watch

RoleyPolly · 7 December 2016, 07:34 AM

If I was presented with this offer, I would trade in a heartbeat.

Le Chef · 7 December 2016, 07:45 AM

I have both, which doesn't make sense to a lot of people, but I'm happy with both for the time being.

AK797 · 7 December 2016, 08:39 AM

I have a blue subc so it's not that appealing to me, really want a CokeC tho.

T. Ferguson · 7 December 2016, 08:44 AM

There is absolutely no difference between the two, it's strictly aesthetics. Get the one you like more, the hell with us.

kingSubTT · 7 December 2016, 09:23 AM

Used LN for used BLNR by paying less than $1000. Absolutely.
For brand new, from a trusted seller the difference was $1300 and I happily got mine today. It is up to you, how much do you want to pay for 1/2 blue bezel and a blue hand.

Price difference between D-blue and black was around $2.5K. I opted for black.

Stealerfan86 · 7 December 2016, 09:29 AM

No. I prefer LN

Same. The BLNR is great but for some very strange reason doesn't do it for me. My next Rolex will be the LN.

soundserious · 7 December 2016, 11:19 AM

Depends on the cash needed. BLNR is a totally different watch aesthetically.

melrob1 · 7 December 2016, 11:20 AM

Depends. Only watch? Whats the price difference?

I would say it's more conservative and classic but
Not more beautiful!!! In the first place one must like
Blue !!! If you don't like blue then the LN is for you ..,

I have a BLNR and absolutely enjoy it ... the LN for me
would be boring after a week or month max ...
The Blue/Black bezel is by far the best representation
between night and day on the GMT !!!

Edit: I think the BLNR for a female would be fantastic!
Still very versatile just as the LN plus some color to coordinate
with accessories or outfits...

Agree. I gave blnr chance few times and bought ln at the end. LN looks great in real life and touch of green is a killer
Plus its a great value in rolex sport line up
