Under the spotlights at the AD I would have also picked the LV over the BLNR if I had to choose but in daylight (not in direct sunlight) I think I would have gone for the BLNR. Tomorrow morning I will decide which one I like better in direct sunlight :D They are both great watches.

After reading hundreds of posts on here, it seems that we'll end up with both! Good luck for tomorrow, you can't go wrong.

Our first run! I wore my Oris everyday for 5 years. I think I'm going to wear this to death!

Since I already have both, I am keeping my fingers crossed Rolex will not be releasing another must have model next week at Basel!

see so many blnr vs green threads - the green is just purer and cleaner and simpler and for that reason it resonates more for me

Great pickup! I love mine, and have only seen it in the wild on someone else...maybe 3 times.

Congrats!

The hulk is awesome. Do they still make them or were they just a special edition for a limited time.
