[126710BLNR or 124060}

Hi everyone,

Torn between the above two models. I currently have a BB58, 126200 blue dial and a 124270. What one would you choose?

I had both at the same time. The BLNR with jubilee is more interesting visually, more comfortable, and has a more unique special feel than the 124060. As much as I loved the 124060, I couldn’t get on my wrist after I got the BLNR.

While I appreciate the GMT function, between those two, I would get the 124060. That was actually my first Rolex after coming back from a 3-4 year hiatus. The clean dial, the symmetry, and the new 41mm case was what pushed me towards that direction. I also did recently pick up a 126711CHNR, because I do value the GMT function. I'm probably one of the very few that doesn't really care for the BLNR :/

The Sub works with every situation… the BLNR is beautiful and has the useful GMT function but is also attracting the eye more…

I have both. And it’s hard to choose one over the other. The Pepsi is more flashy of the two for sure and more of a flex. Prices are great on both right now.

I chose the LN GMT over the 124060 when I decided to move one on which surprised me as I loved the Sub.

Just a little more visual interest won the day. Also the bigger lugs don’t really seem a thing on the GMT (to me) compared to say the 114060.

I would say the GMT fits better into your collection.

I have both. Prob wear the BLNR a little more as it’s slightly more comfortable. The new sub no date is visual perfection though with its’ proportions of lugs, bracelet and symmetry

Have the 124060 and had the BLNR, 124060 more versatile for me, works better for me as a daily, both are great watches!

Submariner, the classic Rolex, dress it up, dress it down, the Submariner is at home anywhere at any time.

The GMT is nice as well, but Sub pips it for me

Either/both. No down side to either.

I had both, I still own the BLNR but the 124060 is gone. Gorgeous watch but the blnr on jubilee isomer versatile and has a little pop. I ended up getting a SD4K for my diver to rotate with the BLNR and could not be happier.

I’ve owned both and the 124060 remains.

Some people need a date function and like the additional 24 hour hand complication.

I prefer the simple aesthetic of the diver and I find the rotating bezel more useful in everyday life. I also never really cared for the blue/black color scheme

I also had the BB58 blue and then ended getting the call on the 124060. I of course bought it and then also ordered the blue OEM Tudor nato strap from the dealer. The BB58 on the strap and the sub on the bracelet are a nice combo. I like both, but it is amazing how much more attitude the sub has. The BB58 is Dr. Alan Grant, the Sub Dr. Ian Malcom. I use the timer function on my divers all the time so although I like the color combos on the GMTs, I have no interest in buying one.
