I love the BLNR, but I really think the LN is the more classic/versatile of the two - would love to have an LN.

LOL I actually found myself adding more blacks, blues and grays to my wardrobe and ended up tossing half my closet out. I agree that the LN is more versatile. I had buyers remorse with the BLNR after a few weeks but it always goes away when I am in jeans.

I thought about flipping it for the LN but came to the realization that I feel this way only because it is what I wear daily.

That if I started with the LN and added a DJ, I would probably regret not getting the BLNR. So i need to add a DJ to rid myself of this dilemma. This way, there will be another color in rotation.

Agree with the group here...

Buy what you like and forget what people say...more important, forget about matching it with your wardrobe...the BLNR goes well with anything.

I have had both watches and find the LN a bit boring and very similar to the look of the Sub. I sold it and got the BLNR and never looked back.

Quick bump on the thread with some news.

First of all I want to thank everybody for the help. Since I can't make up my mind, i had the idea of asking the AD if they could call me when they receive a BLNR so I could go there and check it before it gets delivered to the next customer in the waiting list. Guess what, no problem, i'm going Saturday morning and they even have the LN so I can compare side-by-side

I'll keep this thread updated!

Sorry for not updating for some time. Went to the AD, saw them both and decided on the LN. Once i saw it and put it on my wrist reminded the feeling i had two years ago when I first tried it and said I was going to buy it someday. Just a spectacular piece of art, a lot more beautifully in the flesh, those green markers are just well...

If it wasn't my first I would have picked the BLNR because it's just a different watch, the blue does really make it different. Anyway, had to go rational on the choice, it will be a keeper so, the versatile LN will never get out-fashioned!

More updates soon! I'll drop some pics of the last visit.
