Final outcome to: If only one BLNR or Bluesy Sub C!!!

Ok , so life happened and I've become a
One watch guy for awhile ...
As I loved both the BLNR and the Bluesy Sub C plus my TT Sub
Black dial 5 digit ref ... I trimmed the collection down to one
hopefully temporarily...

The TT Black dial Sub went on to greener pastures and so did
one more ... Can you guys guess which one survived the cut ???
Not that I can't say, it's just makes it a little more fun between
the 2 because they are both excellent and stunning references
in their own right plus the decision wasn't easy either ....

So which one stayed and which one moved on to greener pastures?
BLNR or Bluesy Sub C... ?

I haven't followed every thread, but something makes me think you are a Sub fan through and through, so I'm thinking that you've kept the Bluesy. Regards, -Rick.

Whichever one you kept, I am sure will put a smile on your face each and every time.

But from your forever support of Bluesy in almost all occasions during my short stay here, I say bluesy stayed.

I thought you sold the BLNR back in April. Anyway, so many pic threads started with your Bluesy lately, I can't believe you sold it.

That's a hard choice. I have the BLNR and will get a Bluesy as well and wouldn't be able to decide which to lose.

I think you kept the BLNR.

I have BLNR, and I am planning to add bluesy in the future. However, if I have to choose only 1, it is going to be BLNR. Just because it is more versatile, not getting attention so much as TT.

Ok , having dinner at the moment ...
A nice Bison burger at Ted Montana's to celebrate ...
And the winner is ????

So if I miss my BLNR enough it'd be easier to flip my Bluesy for
a BLNR than the other way around without extra out of
pocket ... Bot I probably doubt it as blue is one of my
Fav colors...

You made the right choice my friend. Bluesy all day everyday over the BLNR. I flipped my BLNR for the Bluesy as well.

Mine says hi.

Bluesy. Good on you for ditching the lesser watch!

My guess would have been the Sub staying Mario, so nice choice!

I know you had some good times with the BLNR, plenty more to come with the Sub!

The BLNR is more versatile, but you made the right decision. It is obvious how much you love the Bluesy and it is on a different level of wow than the BLNR.

Can't go wrong with either honestly. I chose blnr because it's more versatile but bluesy was my first love.

I have both but chose to stay with the BLNR. But hey, variety right? And either choice is excellent.

Both are stunning time pieces and I would proudly wear either. I am glad you made the choice that makes you the happiest. Burger looks great too!

Glad to see that, and fine to reward yourself in delicious style for keeping it and your membership of TRF.
