Noting that my other watche is a Hulk.

I say no the full black bezel is classic and that little differ in colour on bezel doesnt justify couple thousands in my book.

The LN is a great watch but BLNR oyster and hulk make a great pair.

BTW, a few years back, when the BLNR and LN could both be had at retail, folks would debate paying an extra $500 for a half blue bezel.

Huh? You didn't mention anything if you are bored with LN gmt or looking to buy BLNR from long time or prefer some color instead of all black. Nothing at all. Just asking should I sell this? What you want us to say ?

It's a simple LN vs BLNR question.
I want to see what the general preference is, what people think is a better keeper.

If it is not what you wanted, and Batman does it for you, do it and enjoy.

You don't need to care what other people think, have and wear what makes you happy.

Personally I'd keep the LN but I also love the Batman. If I was felling real silly I'd just get both.

I don't care what "people" think, but I do care to know the general vibe from fellow rolex enthusiasts :)

Sorry, didn't mean it so harshly :-)

It sounded differently in the OP, made me think you were going to base your decision on what people in here said

Some will say they prefer the LN; some will say they prefer the Batman.

I say keep the LN. Hope this is helpful.

Be happy with your LN, it’s always in style.

This is not it,

BLNR. More comfortable watch. Two color is fun and easy to wear as well.

BLNR is the same watch buddy. The color doesn't make it any more/less comfortable.

I like the LN and the BLNR but if I had to choose it would be the BLNR. A more unique watch to me.

I would keep the ln. It’s one of my favorites and great compliment to the Hulk.

I think for the huge price difference between the two, you will end up disappointed in the BLNR. Sure, it's pretty, I've had one (two, actually) and the blue is nice, but the LN that you have is classic, and classy, and you should stick with it.

I would not part with the LN. Only advantage of the new BLNR IMO is jubilee. If the choice was between 116710LN / BLNR, I am choosing LN all day.

I personally think your watch is way cooler than BLNR though so I would keep it.

I just did the same thing, the LN feels too much like a sub for me......you are going to have to add more than 2k unless you found a sucker for that deal....

I don’t have many “must” opinions about a Rolex collection, but at minimum you should have at least one black dial/bezel rolex. It goes with anything and the classic look. I love the Batman, but because your other watch is the hulk, keep the one you have.
