I've owned a fair number of watches through the years and believe I recently acquired my all time favorite which is the GMT BLNR. I traded my 14060M and 16570 towards it and have no remorse.

I've seen postings where some folks have buyer remorse after acquiring a piece but I haven't come across anyone suggesting they had it by acquiring the BLNR. Therefore, I'm curious if anyone has. Please share your thoughts.

Here's my current 3 watches. I think it's a nice mix of styles and I usually keep the count to 3 in my rotation because it seems to work well for me.

No Remorse here Love mine

Ru4scuba · 25 January 2014, 08:59 PM

Getting a BNLR in 9 mos for my 40th B-Day...even though I don't have it yet, I assure you...there will be no remorse!

Very nice and I would be surprised to see someone have remorse over that one!

travisb · 25 January 2014, 09:30 PM

I'm a happy owner.
I guess some were not. Otherwise you wouldn't see any preowned for sale.

Furbo · 25 January 2014, 09:53 PM

I bought BLNR, discovered that I don't wear the others anymore and put them up for sale.

xjeeunitx · 25 January 2014, 09:54 PM

None, whatsoever!

scranger · 25 January 2014, 10:25 PM

No remorse here, although it can be tough deciding between the BLNR and the Daytona when allocating wrist time.

SixPak · 25 January 2014, 10:34 PM

No remorse from me either. In fact the love never wane and might have grown even stronger over time.

Cru Jones · 25 January 2014, 10:47 PM

Nice watch for sure. It's a really new model, so the "honeymoon" is strong with this one.

samsam · 25 January 2014, 11:01 PM

First, congratulations!

Second, I find your question kind of odd; why do you care?

As long as you are happy, this is what matters.

I don't own a BLNR, but tried it before I pulled the trigger on the LN. Not for me, and absolutely no regrets on the LN. HAGD!

underdog33 · 25 January 2014, 11:08 PM

Nope. Love mine and continues to get a lot of wrist time.

Jason71 · 25 January 2014, 11:47 PM

Absolutely no remorse whatsoever. I LOVE mine

Racerdj · 25 January 2014, 11:57 PM

The BNLR might cause buyers remorse for others in your collection.

porschejeff · 26 January 2014, 12:18 AM

I'm waiting for someone with BLNR remorse to pick one up at a reasonable price.

petenyc · 26 January 2014, 12:36 AM

nice watch can't see anyone having remorse

I love mine...only Rolex that gets compliments by non-WIS.

raclaims · 26 January 2014, 01:35 AM

Not sure how there could be remorse

There are no surprises with this watch

The gmt is a proven classic and blnr is just a nice update

KINGROLESAR · 26 January 2014, 01:56 AM

Very nice group sir. Great dress, Great sport and love the type 20.

The reason I ask is because I saw another thread asking about watches purchased and having regret. So, it triggered my thoughts that I never saw anyone suggest the BLNR but there were a fair amount who did not like their Daytona, DJ etc. I think it shows the strength of the BLNR.

LOL… no.. I like all my watches for different reasons. However, my favorite child at this point is my BLNR (but I would never let my JLC and Breguet know that).

sweeper · 26 January 2014, 02:06 AM

When I first got the BLNR I was stunned to see that it wasn't as comfy to wear as the Subc with the glide lock bracelet. Now I'm used to it and really dig it.

michel33 · 26 January 2014, 02:13 AM

Only pleasure with mine. A stunning watch, so versatile.

watchwatcher · 26 January 2014, 02:25 AM

You sure don't see many pre-owned...for that matter, it seems to me that the price hasn't dropped off as sharply as other models nearly a year after its introduction at Basel.

To answer the original question: Not I. I have bought and flipped many in the last few years, but this is one I see sticking around for awhile.

ash20 · 26 January 2014, 03:00 AM

Never any regrets on the BLNR--LOVE IT!!! it's my daily now for good reason. I've flipped both the LVc and blue YM over the past year...

Nycturbovr6 · 26 January 2014, 03:22 AM

Nice collection

DCgator · 26 January 2014, 03:26 AM

The only regret I have with the BLNR is that I don't have one on my wrist yet....

It's an amazing watch, but as others have said, it's the new sweetheart on the block.

In terms of comparing it to the Daytona. Give it time. Your comparing a pool of tens of thousands if people who have had Daytonas over the years next to a brand new iteration of a watch.
