Incoooooooooming BLNR

Hi Everyone,

I've been trying to decide what SS sports watch to add for an everyday wearer and have ended up picking up the BLNR today from a friend who no longer wanted after being on the list for a long time.

Very happy with it and just need to get to grips with all the different functions :)

Will post some pics once my Mac stops playing games with me

Terrific. Though not sure what all functions you are referring to..

Congrats on your Blnr ! I guess you and I both have good taste. I have the same two and love the slate roman as well. Enjoy..

Think functions is the wrong terminology. Meant setting the different time zones and everything.

Congrats! It's super easy, the only difference is the 2nd position of the crown, the one that usually operates the quickset date operates the jump hour hand.

Wish I could be so lucky with a Hulk. Although I would "settle" for a BLNR also..
