BLRO. Although I haven’t had the BLNR but for a few days, it’s a very cool reference and wears differently.

Nice, I’m trying to add a BLNR on jubilee to my BLRO on oyster. The wait continues….

I have the same duo and like you, both are on jubilee. If I could make one change, it would have been to have the BLRN on oyster. Between the two, I really don’t have a favorite. Both watches are great.

I owned both but sold BLNR as, to me, the BLRO rises above all others.

I also own both on Jubilee. Actually like them both equally. I was drawn to the BLNR first though so I guess slight preference towards that one, but it’s all relative…

I assume you mean visually?

Nice pair.

Nice but i don't see the point. Owning the same watch with different colors makes absolutely no sense to me unless you have tens of watches.

Nice. I have a TT CHNR to go with my SS BLRO. I prefer the greater diversity.

Is the bezel and GMT hand the only difference between the 2?

Same watch, different colors. This watch collecting/enthusiast thing many of us participate in is multi faceted. Some of this is status, some fashion, some horology love. Some struggle to buy a Rolex and use it for a milestone, some guys on here just make a lot of $ and like to buy fun cool stuff. We are all different, but we come together here to discuss, show off, learn, etc... I totally get how someone could want two or 10 GMT watches. It could be your favorite watch, hands down, and you just straight up want every color combo you can get so you can switch them out for what you are wearing, driving or doing on a particular day. It adds fashion to horology. Congrats to the OP, two great watches, I hope you enjoy Batgirl on a cloudy blue day and Pepsi on a cool sunny day. Just sharing thoughts... LOL, enjoy!

No. The BLRO has a different bezel ring (the part the ceramic ring sits inside) which has a thicker protective lip/edge around the bezel and the knurls are ever so slightly different too.

I suspect the thicker bezel rim is there to protect what is probably a more fragile ceramic ring. When it catches the light you get a nice thick silver edge around the ceramic in a way you don't with BLBR/LN. I believe the CHNR also has the same thicker outer edge too.
