BLNR doing what it does best, travel

Just got my BLNR and I will be writing up a full review with a lot of images when I return. I wanted to put this shot up from today with my new BLNR. I wanted a travel watch and this one ticks all the boxes, so here it is, in salt water, sand, sunscreen and oil, probably with some alcohol mixed in!



Love the watch! I am thinking the honeymoon is over for my Patek 5711!

watch out for spray on sunscreen, a little bit annoying to get out of the PCLs.

Love the BLNR. It is one of the most well-rounded watches available.

It's a beauty, Brian, but hope the Steelfish gets to swim in eponymous turquoise oceans too.

Gorgeous shot. I love my BLNR as well. Where exactly is here in the background, amazing beach and clear blue water.
(edit: reread whole thread, have my answer)
ps: Amazing how a "lowly" Rolex at less than half the price can seemingly dethrone a PP for wrist time...Rolex magic sauce works.

Thanks everyone and yes the Breitling spends a lot of time underwater
