I just took of my BLNR, so I don’t have a picture. I debated between the BLNR and LN, and my AD told me I would not regret the BLNR, and I am glad I listened. Had it for three years now and I still love it.
This was before the hype and you could easily get both. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I added the Rubber B to highlight the Green marker. If I could obtain the BLNR I would jump on it but keep the Black Bezel as well.

As much as I like the BLNR, have to vote for the Black, as I just picked up a brand new, old stock 116710 LN

I like a splash of color with my GMTs so I’d pick the BLNR.

If they were the same price, I'd still go LN (and I did)
I could be slightly swayed by the Jubilee on the newer model. However, the reason I say this is because I don't like the blue and black combo at all, I'm assuming you do. In which case maybe go BLNR. |

I’ve owned both and if I could turn back the clock on one of them, it would definitely be the LN

LN is sophisticated, looks classy and rich, without screaming - look at me.

BLNR. I think the gmt looks at home with a 2 tone bezel. It matches the PCLs. Save the all black bezel for the future submariner or SD43. Cheers!

For the complete GMT experience, you have go with the bicolor bezel. And the all Black looks too much like a Sub.

Depends on what you have in your collection and what you want.
The black is a timeless piece that is subtle and very versatile but if you want to add some “zing” to the collection then go with the BLNR the good news is that you can’t go wrong with either! PS: you can always get a BNIB BLNR, well for a few years at least. But the LN are no longer being made so they might start showing in a good condition less and less over the years!

BLNR, especially if you own or will at some point own a Sub or one of the divers.

The black for me. Very elegant and classic. I am not a fan of colorful watches.

Here's the right answer! But if just 1 then the LN.

BLNR for me also. Black is nice but it competes with the sub, which IMHO is nicer with its cleaner dial.
Besides Two-tone bezel screams GMT, you are one upping (: |
