I guess this is the right place to raise this (old?) question: GMT II BLNR vs. LN

Undecided, I listed some pros (+) and cons (-), in my opinion:



BLNR

Presence

+ colorful, catchy, joyful

- bit cheesy, flashy, tiresome in the longer term

Usability

+ sporty

+ the dual color scheme makes it easier to read the AM/PM time of the GMT hand

- less flexible to combine with different color clothes

- may not go well with formal attire

Long term value

+ currently sells at premium

- a possible S. Steel “pepsi” version will steal its allure

General Aspects

+ trendy, nickname denotes its popularity



LN

Presence

+ discreet, elegant, timeless

+ looks like a Sub

- bit dull

- looks like a Sub (yes, + and -)

Usability

+ sporty

+ can be used with formal attire

+ flexible

Long term value

+ just regular

- just regular

General Aspects

+ classic

- chaste



Although many think that Rolex would not irk its premium clients who have bought the precious metal version of the GMT “pepsi” introducing a stainless steel version, the recent Sky Dweller case shows otherwise. Should that be likely to happen, it may be better wait.



Another good reason to wait: they might well fit it with the newest 32XX mechanism soon.



Back to the choice, naturally it’s up to personal tastes and style. But, I’d like to hear different points of view. Thanks!

I've had both LN and BLNR and prefer the BLNR better. I found the blue did not make it much less versatile. I liked it so much I did not worry about color matching.
