Just flipped SubC for BLNR. Ecstatic. Pics.
Okay, so I really wanted to love my subC date. I got it on January 30th of this year. After a month, I found it plain. But I stuck it out. It's a classic, and no doubt s beautiful piece. However, I lusted after the BLNR for the past three months. I LOVE the blue GMT hand. I travel 3 times a month to South America from New York and the Caribbean, so the function will certainly come in handy. I make calls to South America and parts of Mexico 5 times a day so the function helps me see the time in my busiest call zone if I set it to that. Very cool. The PCLs are gorgeous and more for my needs. I wear a suit daily and I find the PCL to be a bit fancier than the sub. The sub does go with everything, just not the best for me. I am finding that the GMT sits a bit better on my wrist and the clasp sits nicer. 6.75 inch wrist. The glidelock is exceptional. I will miss it. But it was a bit large for me. Overall I am very happy with the purchase. I would not call it an upgrade. I would call it lateral move. Pics:

Congrats man, BLNR is my fav 6 digit steel Rolex. I agree the GMT case sits a bit better than the 6 digit sub in my experience also. Wear in good health.
