BLNR of the two, but agree, too much flash.
Black on Steel is the only 100% true utility player IMO.

I highly doubt it as I've seen it advertised at multiple AD billboards
nationwide in the USA... Plus it's currently the featured Sub on the
Rolex Website when looking at all the current references... When looking
for all subs the Bluesy is the main and first featured Sub!!!
Although you never know what Rolex will do in the future it's
Highly unlikely they will disco the Bluesy...

Since you asked for opinions mine would be the 114060 (that is if you don't mind having a watch without a date.) Other than that I would totally go with the 116610LN as a one and only. It really is the only watch you will ever need

That being said out of the two you listed it would be the 116613LB because it's a Sub

Just saw it on a huge wall poster ad inside the customs area of the Cancun airport. It was beautiful too. Man I do love the Bluesy. I'd bet good money against a discontinuation anytime soon.

You know, I think it's really only the PCL's that make it flashy. If you scrubbed them and made them brushed, it wouldn't even be a second thought. I'm always ready to pounce on the "Nah, the BLNR isn't flashy, I wear it with my Nike "around the house" shorts.", but the more I think about it, I can totally see why people think it's flashy.

toff choice rather you than me,

if you have to make a decision, what would you base it on?
Resale value --go for the GMT .holding the value --both are keeping their value
attention factor ---defo the BLUE,
ON THE END, THINK ON YOUR SELF- WHAT YOU LIKE BEST AND GO FOR IT.
I f this was me, go for the GMT classy all the way.
what ever you choose, you will have a great WATCH

I was in the same boat 8 months ago. Came across a fair trade for my BLNR and went for it.
Looked up this thread as I was reminiscing about the time with BLNR. I had it for 3 years. Im wearing my Bluesy as im writing this, really enjoy the blue dial and gold accents and it goes well with my wedding ring, yes I wore it on my wedding day.
Bluesy is an icon and I always wanted one, but was not economically able to buy one at the time I purchased the BLNR.
Sure I miss the versatility of the BLNR for everyday use as of not being a two tone, but I recently bought the new Explorer 1 and it service me well as a daily wearer. Understated and elegant at the same time. Now I can mix it up.

I have both but if I had to choose between the two I would keep the Bluesy. That’s saying a lot because I absolutely love the BLNR. The Bluesy is just more special to me and is the most beautiful watch Rolex makes IMHO.
