Out of all my watches (and not just Rolexes), my BLNR would be the last to go.

BTW, I’d go with BLNR FWIW…

Good point and my mistake. Oh, and me too.

BLNR. So much more interesting with all the same perks of an LN. If you travel at all, the GMT is worth it.

If the ln had a brushed bracelet with red accents instead of the green it might be a tough call.

LN. it’s more versatile in my opinion,the Batman is a bit flashy though it stunning. Maybe if the pcls were brushed, but I’d still choose the LN.

Either one, but I do lean more toward the LN.

LN. I had a BLNR, and found it to be silly.

No wrong answer. A colleague of mine has one nice watch and he wears it all the time. It's an LN GMT and I love it.

If I ever add a vintage GMT to my collection...say a 1675...it could well be an LN.

LN, if a one and only, makes more sense.

BLNR doesn't work for me, so it'd be the LN. I'd take the BLRO over both though.
