One watch collection - LN or BLNR gmt?
I know the answer is subjective but curious what would be the forums preference for a GMT as a lone Rolex in the collection - LN or BLNR (both on oyster)

BLNR is perfect for a one-watch collection

116710LN because it can be worn with jeans and a T-shirt, a tuxedo, and anything in between.

BLNR is every bit as diverse or matching to various circumstances, while being more interesting. I'd definitely consider the BLNR as a front runner here!

BTW, I’d go with BLNR FWIW…

The BLNR was my 1st Rolex. Before buying i wondered the same. Then I was lucky enough to see them side by side. There is no comparison... the BLNR blows the LN out of the water. Its not even close.

BLNR (in full disclosure, I’m the new owner of one).

I think it may be my favorite watch of all time. A pop of my favorite color while also being muted along with my favorite complication. It’s beautiful and robust.

I own both. I really like both of them so it’s tough for me to decide. I lean slightly toward the BLNR because the blue is stunning under the sun light.

Single watch, LN. More versatile being all black.
