Saw it in 2021 at an AD .It was wow !
Then confirmed when I saw it again at another AD this year ,knew I really wanted it !
This is a reference I was prepared to take out so much money for .Its not inexpensive.
Both these examples were already sold ,but the ADs had the insight to show me the reference .

It's like the YG Green Daytona ,pics look good ,but you have NO idea how special it is, until you have seen it in the metal .

Can you snap a pic of the BLNR next to the WG sub? Curious of the color difference.

Sure,will do so tomorrow .Blue is the same .The difference is the way it looks with Black/Blue vs Blue bezel against black dial.

Amazing watch. Do you know if the blue is the same as the BLNR or the Bluesy or is it a different blue just on the sub?

Also, amd sorry for so many questions, is the WG duller than steel? In some pics it looks great but in yours it looks so vibrant and classy.

Wow….just wow. I just love this reference more and more as I see incoming photos of it. Huge congrats! I know it’s a big investment but from where I’m sitting it looks well worth it!

Amazing. Beautiful watch. I’m trying to find the right PM piece. Have a good relationship with my AD. Was offered a gold and black dial sky which I passed on without thinking. Then last week was offered this and thought hard but declined it. Not sure if it was the right move but I really want a rose gold PM piece or the meteriote Pepsi so holding out for that for now. But wow, this looks amazing. Congrats! This is on my list but I want a rose gold PM piece first

RG GMT
RG DD Olive Green
GMT Meteorite
Blue WG Sub

It's either or really and what you can find .

None of those are high number references .
AD sees 1 or if they are lucky 2 a year.
(ss Daytonas they see around 12 a year ,black and white combined.)
I got the second GMT Meteorite and the third WG Sub that arrived since they were launched .Same AD.

Blue on ceramic bezel insert on WG Sub = BLNR = YG/TT Blue Sub .
How it presents depends whether the dial is black or blue ,bezel white metal or YG etc.

The od man out is the GMT Red/Blue ,where it started out pink /purple and now is at darker blue and red .

Gold is gold ! Really sparkles but a different lustre .
SS 904L has high Nickel content giving it a blueish tint compared to the rest who uses 316L steel.
That's one reason a ss Rolex always looks better than the rest .
