Bluesy is a loud watch, whereas BLNR retains classic Rolex look with a splash of blue

Both cool watches, but BLNR if you can only have one, or Bluesy if it's in rotation

The bluesy. What I find interesting is that I see far less of them in the wild compared to the BLNR.

No wrong choice
I have both.

If only to keep one, I may keep the blnr simply for the GMT function.
I'd get both
The bluesy is a superbly visually striking watch and imho it's the soul of Rolex.

Blur. Bluessy is way easier to get at a discount.

Really does depend on what sort of person you are. Bluesey just screams new watch look at me!!! BLNR can look quite undercover, even the blue looks black most of the time. If you don't love all the attention, surely the Batman is the one. Plus you change your mind later, waiting on another retail Batman is gonna be a long wait for sure.

Voted BLNR under these prices. A bluesy is an $11k watch on the forums. It’s one to buy preowned as the gold PCLs will get thrashed soon, may as well save cash and get a preloved one.

I voted Bluesy because there's nothing like that sunburst dial. Chad above has an excellent point about the pricing, though.

In this case I would go BLNR given you already have the RG Daytona. I think the SS is a more versatile watch. If the bluesy really catches your eye, I would push for 15 off on that one.

I’ve been wearing my Bluesy for years and never had anyone comment on it. An Invicta looks the same.

The blnr is a completely difft piece than the bluesy. You won't believe how different they wear, for me at least it's very different.
I Iget compliments on both. .
For one watch, I'd pick the blnr because of the gmt feature not to mention you can take it to the water with no worries at all.
