Coke here.

Best option: 16710 "Coke" modified with the maxi plot dial from the BLNR and the fat BLNR minute hand.

I love both.

Now that's an interesting idea...

I was going to suggest 16710 with a new bracelet, though. Best of both worlds.

BLNR wth no brainer.

I personaly do not like the blnr, I have always found the blue to be to purple-is for my test compare to the blro... the Coke is a classic and incredibly comfortable to wear. It’s my daily...

Justindo · 8 February 2018, 01:39 PM

BLNR for me, as I like the upgrades.

brandrea · 8 February 2018, 01:42 PM

I prefer 6 digit to 5 digit models.

The BLRO red color is bright. The BLNR blue black is more subtle and toned down. Depends on individual. I would prefer a more subtle watch that does not scream for attention. That's just me.

16710. As previously mentioned, is a classic. Proportionally perfect design, looks great with either a jubilee, oyster or nato. Plus the bezel insert options.

Rogdogg · 8 February 2018, 02:51 PM

I would go with the BLNR although I'd also love to add a coke & pepsi to my collection some day

LazySumday · 8 February 2018, 02:56 PM

Coke for me. I am not feeling the Batman at all. The 5 digits are like a Porsche 993. Classic, beautiful, and hard to beat, even with better technology available today.

I bought my first Rolex today, the GMT Master II BLNR Batman.

Honestly, I wanted the older “Coke” version, but it just seemed like too much of a gamble.

The “Coke” would probably need to be serviced. And most of them were about the same price as the new “Batman.”

If you can find a good “Coke,” that’s what I would do. The BLNR does feel good on my wrist, so I’m not regretting it.

A Coke was my first but that was 26 years ago! I won't let mine go now but given the choice today it would be BLNR...its the latest and greatest. I do love the new bracelets!

SeaDweller50 · 8 February 2018, 11:29 PM

BLNR only because the 16710 references are priced too high imo. Get more bang for your buck.

bearjere21 · 8 February 2018, 11:39 PM

get the coke

and if you don't like the insert, source a pepsi or black and you'll have 3 watches.

16710 is very flexible.

me personally? 16750 matte.

the new cerachrom insert looks gawdy.

Any4xx · 9 February 2018, 02:02 AM

Sounds like you really want both. You may as well just flip the coin and go for it. I’m in the same boat, but I lean 51% Coke / 49% BLNR.

Jimcover · 9 February 2018, 03:31 AM

I have both, prefer the coke.

Both awesome watches. I should have bought a coke when they were half the price. Not sure I'm willing to pay what they are going for today. But man they're nice. I do have a BLNR and it gets a lot of wrist time. I'd stay go for the one that you think you will wear the most. I bet you end up with both anyways!

Ci54 · 9 February 2018, 03:56 AM

The Coke is more classy, IMHO. It has the charm of a classic Rolex with all the modernity hidden. The contemporary Rolexes have all the punch of modern technology but there lies the rub; it lacks the soul of classical Rolexes..

bp1000 · 9 February 2018, 04:17 AM

Gmt I much prefer the pre ceramic models

Great that you can interchange bezels too

Coke for me, function and size is spot on.

Blnr

Raza_actual · 9 February 2018, 04:45 AM

I've never been a big fan of the BLNR. I think that shade of blue and the black clash. The blue looks like a bit of an afterthought. Actually, this whole generation of GMT is a no go for me because of the green on the black bezel model and the polished center links on both models. For those reasons, I would go for the vintage Coke bezel.

That's true; 16710 prices are nearly unjustifiably high when you consider the technical advancements in the newer model.

Santiago79 · 9 February 2018, 05:11 AM

I will definetely go for the BLNR which I find to be one of the best looking in the line up.
