For functionality, BLNR. For looks, 13LB. I work across different time zones and when I'm travelling I use the reference time function. But I wouldn't have a BLNR. I don't like the looks of either of the six digit models.

How about a TT CHNR? Now there's a cracking watch. Striking yet will blend with you. Visually clever. If I already had a GMT watch I would go for the Blusey in a heart beat. It's gorgeous.

For an only watch that extra gold will made me happy when I get older and older. Bluesy for me.

Well the OP is banned, hopefully he’s made his decision since posting the question 3 years ago.....
But I would’ve suggested to him... BLNR

I agree fully with this

For the record, Bluesy or LN steel. Both viable one-watch options.

Man that’s a hard choice, love both of these and would love to get my hands on them but the bluesy as stunning as it is it is also very showy, I have a black bezel sub41 date so if that’s a choice I’d recommend that, if not then the blnr, stunning watch and isn’t as showy, the bluesy should not be the only watch you have as in my opinion it will be too showy for everyday wear

Blrn, tried to make the bluesy work 3 times. Blrn I think is the best Rolex, let alone compared to the bluesy.

If only ONE!!! BLNR or Bluesy Sub C >>>>

Probably BLNR on Jubilee but being a “one watch guy” is problematic for me to begin with. Plus, I’m not sure either of these watches are an ideal one watch candidate.

BLNR every time, without exception. A handsome modern-classic that goes with everything and has always been hard to get for this reason.

The bluesy's were literally sitting in cases and being discounted, still, up until a few years ago.

Of all Rolex divers, I prefer the Batman jubilee, but there's no way it could be a one watch collection for me. For that, I'd have to go with another brand.

BLNR for me. I would always go for the more functional watch for me and that would be a GMT over a Sub.

Bluesy without question.
BLNR doesn't do a thing for me, nor does any woman like it. That being said, women do love the BLRO and they lust the Bluesy!

Sure it is. It's a diver with a GMT hand. 100m WR and a rotating bezel. It's got all a dive watch needs.

BLNR. More versatile, useful GMT function.
