I am still in the BLNR Club - and I still like it. A lot. :) Here are some more shots:

Placed the BLNR on a lit iPad Mini with a green/blue background in front of a reflective surface:

An another one on an iPad but no reflective surface in the back. I am happy with the lit crown o the clasp:

And a couple of snaps from Instagram (lesser quality):

Looking good Bruce. It is amazing how the bezel appears to be almost entirely black in some pictures. Rolex truly outdid themselves on this watch.

Just joined the club. Will post pics soon. Is it true the 3186 has problems? Been seeing some posts in regards to this. Anyone have the issue with the hour hand?

Some really nice pictures in this thread. The BLNR sure has a variety of appearances. Maybe more than any other Rolex I have seen. :) Or any other watch for that sake.

I love the lume:



And - maybe more important - I love it for NOT being a BLRO:

I really like the look of this watch over the my green LVC. Its close enough to still be a sub. I prefer the GMT function over the 300m/diving bezel as I do not dive and never would with a 10K watch. I do travel.

I just hope they have resolved the 3186 issue as that kind of makes me a little nervous.

I could not agree more with you. Since the BLNR has been released, one year before we knew that manufacturing a blue/red ceramic insert would be possible, I kept saying people that I always would prefer a blue/black color combo for a shiny ceramic insert over a ceramic Pepsi combo (so no envious griping, I can prove my statements ).

Thank you Rolex for this superb, sober, sporty and intuitive night and day color combo.

And thanks everybody for the numerous mesmerizing pictures. (Bjoern, you"re a Master )

I love this watch, I hesitated between it and the Hulk, but having a sub C decided to go for the BLNR, and don't regret at all, it's the one getting the most wrist time, at the same time I don't like very much the usual GMT, but this one is great…

Here are a few shots of mine

The new GMT with blue-red bezel is super but the only problem is that it will be only on the white gold model, that's too bad, I saw it on photo it looks great even better than the old red-blue pepsi, but the price….

This! I do like the BLRO, but... It's just a new incarnation of an OLD classic Pepsi. I like the Pepsi... No offense.

There are Coke people, Pepsi people, and Water (plain) people...

NOW, there are BLNR people. We are here to stay!

Nice, Piloto. I guess yours get a lot of flight time hours - as it should.

I like the Pepsi as well (have one 16750 and wouldn´t trade it at all) - but the BLNR is quite something in a world of many colors.
