2 Years

I’ve had my BLNR for 2 Years now. It’s comfortable, practical, easy to read and great to look at. It’s been through lots. I’m not easy on watches and this one still looks great and keeps great time. I wear it every day. This would be my “one” watch if forced to choose. To 2 Years

Nice photos and good to read! I think with Rolex you can write the same words after 20 years as well!

Nice pics. I added a BLNR in May of this year and love it. I still smile to myself when the light catches it just right and the blue pops.

It's so nice to read a post where somebody is enjoying their watch and not staring at it with a loupe making detailed lists of what's wrong with it.

Thanks for that.

Thanks!! The watch is in great shape but, the bracelet is marked up. I bought it to wear. I guess it’ll get polished when I eventually get it serviced.

Have to agree Don. I’ve had mine since June this year and it’s my go to piece. The LVc barely gets a look in. A fantastic watch, enjoy yours!

The pic in the snow is really cool. I hope you keep enjoying it for years to come. I've had mine for almost 3 weeks now. I'm sure I'll feel the same way you do after many years of wearing this stunning watch.

What stunning pics! Thanks for sharing. I’m coming up to 6 months with my Batman and love it more each time I wear it. What a piece!

Looking great, Don. Hard to argue the points you mention about the BLNR. One of the very best ever produced by Rolex. Have owned mine for 3.5 years now. And love it as much as the first day I bought it.
