It wasn't an easy choice I can tell you that!!!
The BLNR truly is very versatile but when the
rubber meets the road I am true blue !!!!
I would've missed the Bluesy much more than the
BLNR !!! Plus I like the way the Sub wears more
than the GMT ... TT Bluesy for me is quite versatile
With respect to my dress style I don't have
any issues ... Dress up or down the Bluesy is an
all around especially when I'm ready to throw down
Downtown!!!!!

Do all the mods approve of the Bluesy ???
I hope so cause I'm enjoying a very frosty margarita
at the moment and it's very good ...

Funny enough I had debated getting a BLNR and wore my friend's for a while. I'm not sure why but it didn't entice me to buy even though I thought logically it should. My 116613LB sunburst on the other hand, when I have it on, I really enjoy looking at the dial and the watch just seems to feel more special.

If I could only have one, it would be the 116610LN, which I know isn't an option.

I have to say the Glidelock is a great feature for a daily piece, such as your 116613LB

I agree . I've had the BLNR for almost a year and a half ,
While I did like it very much and enjoyed it the blue dial wins it
for me as an only one ....

The 116610LN was an option if I flipped my Bluesy .
Although I think I would've gotten bored with it as
a one and only watch . That's been my dilemma the
entire time ....

Right Jason ... appreciate it !!! Maybe it'll come back again or
a BLRO one day ... ? That would be fantastic

Both great references but I'm a bit more partial to the

It wasn't easy , I really enjoyed my BLNR as I travel much with
my job . I just knew I'd miss the Sub more in the end...

So if I miss my BLNR enough it'd be easier to flip my Bluesy for

pocket ... Bot I probably doubt it as blue is one of my
Fav colors...
Nice watch but that burger looks incredible hahah.

Tough choice, but grats on making the "right" decision. (Of course, if you had gone the other way, that would have been "right" too.)

You know your right !!! The way I figured it was
if I really do miss the BLNR it would be much easier
to flip the Bluesy for the BLNR than the orher way around...

Can't beat a Bison Burger !!!
It is absolutely delicious... The gourmet burger
if you will ... fries weren't too bad either and the
side of fried pickles were to die for ... ( figuratively speaking of course)

No , it would've been nice to be in Montana though
beautiful country out there ... It was one their locations
in Florida where I live ...

I've posted pics with the BLNR in Montana in the past ...
I travel a lot with my business so the obvious choice would've
been to keep the BLNR... But this is TRF and a lot of times the
obvious becomes obscure... For lack of better terms the Bluesy
won my heart over the BLNR and makes me smile every time...

I think you made the right choice. It's tough to beat any blue dial Sub, especially any with a Glidelock
