Had my BLNR since 2014 and recently added a CHNR. Still love the BLNR for day-to-day wearing in any situation.

MJZRolex · 18 May 2023, 02:02 AM

I really like a the BLNR (have) and the BLRO (want), but just can't warm up to the CHNR. Thankful there are different watches for different tastes.

amh · 18 May 2023, 02:27 AM

MJZ, have you seen the CHNR in person? Web pics don't do it justice. When I first tried it on I was blown away!

Anyway this is a BLNR thread. Carry on.

Krash · 18 May 2023, 02:38 AM

I prefer the BLNR on Jubilee over any other GMT. Not sure I'll ever get one though, because the Bluesy is #1 on my shortlist.

Flaudia402 · 18 May 2023, 03:41 AM

Nice shot!

mmbiker · 18 May 2023, 06:02 AM

Same here, really like the Batman look!

I think no matter what model I look at GMT generates the most interest in me.
Can argue Sub or Daytona all day but GMT is just the perfect watch, any colour co-ordination ..

These two go to a bank vault, and Batman returns to your wrist from tomorrow.

THE_FOOT · 30 May 2023, 04:25 AM

I don't have my Batman to hand but here's some pictures of some original batmobile artwork I own....

THE_FOOT · 30 May 2023, 04:26 AM

If anyone can guess the artist you get kudos points.

Great photo.

mario1971 · 1 June 2023, 02:38 AM

The return of the dark hero from exile.

I actually have a BLNR locked away. Haven’t worn it in awhile. Remind me. No glide lock, correct? Have to lose my covid 19.

Has Easylink.

I love my BLNR and personally prefer it to BLRO. One of the reasons I prefer it is purely a practical reason. Black is for night hours blue for day.

Agree and same here. The BLNR blue is nicer, plus I'm not a big fan of red.

Both my GMTs are great and that's it.

mario1971 · 10 September 2023, 10:47 PM

Together with Hulk and Daytona, they make the perfect trio.

Beat me to it, except I was simply going to say it was my preference.

mario1971 · 28 January 2024, 09:02 PM

This thread had a beginning - it must also have an ending. After five years of intensive use, I sold my first Rolex. That's life...

Yobber76 · 28 January 2024, 09:12 PM

So, what made you sell the BLNR? Do you still have the Pepsi and the Daytona?

mario1971 · 28 January 2024, 09:32 PM

After some time, I noticed that I wore Pepsi more often, and two GMTs in the collection were a bit too much. I reduced the number of Rolexes from six to three, leaving Pepsi, Daytona and Hulk.

And several months later after posting this, my AD called and offered me a BLNR on a Jubilee, and I bought it.

Congrats! I hope it lasts at least as long for you as my BLNR.

1911 Man · 29 January 2024, 03:46 AM

I looked at the BLNR many times back in the 2014-2016 days when they were much more readily available at ADs. My dream was to get a submariner (which I eventually did), and for whatever reason, the BLNR didn't really appeal to me at the time. But, when they put it on the jubilee bracelet, I fell in love. It's now the next watch I hope to get someday.
The general consensus online seems to be BLNR on oyster and BLRO on jubilee, but for me it's just the opposite. I am glad there are others who feel the same way, and I'm glad Rolex offers options
