BLNR disappointment

[bluebeamer]

i can't say that i like mine all the time. there are some days that i find the bezel waaayyy too busy and other days that i really like the pop of the blue

[ericmli825]

What watches do u usually wear? I don't think the BLNR feels cheap or wears light. To me it feels pretty comfortable. D-Blue is much heavier like others have said

I think someone here has multiple accounts on TRF and sits around all night with nothing to do and comes up with these laughable threads. Sorry, ain't buying this one either.

[soundserious]

Lol, try a vintage Daytona. Compared to any modern Rolex they are almost weightless!

And naturally worth much more.

[DaveLemi]

Feels Cheap? Not sure what your expectations are but steel watches with more heft are typically thicker and less refined. I felt this way about the Tudor 36mm but never a Rolex.

[JackPine]

The Tudor Black Bay Black (in-house movement) , I thought was heavier than the Sea Dweller. I bought the Black Bay.

Since my Hulk has been at the RSC I rotated between 2 - Gschocks for a moment and just decided to wear my GMT IIC. The GMT is heavier than both the Gshocks together!

[Boaters]

I repectfully disagree but they are not for everybody but i have to admit never have I heard a problem with the weight.

Plenty of people dislike it (or are not fans, whichever way you want to slice it). I got bored of mine and might well flip it when something comes along and blows my skirt up.

Whatever I, or anyone else feels, one thing the BLNR isn't and that's cheap.

[DramaTurtle]

The BLNR is strange to me. I loved it when I first saw it but the more I see it, the less I like it. The exact opposite of the LVc.

I mean I still love it because oooh Rolex... shiny, but I would never consider buying one myself.

I come from a dd40. I've never tried on a stainless. I might be able to get used to It. It was weird though, felt like a toy.

Thanks. Will do, Jake. You can sometimes order them if you go into a chain shop like Emperor.

I can't imagine someone feeling as though the BLNR is "kind of cheap" (presumably intending to convey "cheaply made"). The piece is beautiful and finished to the typical high Rolex standard.

Light, though, is very much the case. My BLRO feels just right to me (I've always preferred heavier PM watches) and most of the SS pieces I've tried in the last few years do seem rather insubstantial. I have a strong preference for some heft on my wrist - perhaps the OP does, too.

BLRO is the way to go.

[jaySL350]

i moved my blnr on but never felt it was cheap or too light?????,,,,
Still think it was and is a beautiful piece,,,jay

Thanks for the pictures and comparison! Im surprised the LV Sub is heavier than the Two Tone sub.

[WatchingAustin]

It's nice but I sold mine for the 5164

And to add to your surprise, the TT sub has an extra link that I just added to it a few months ago, while Hulk has the orig number of links (thanks to glidelock).

But they are 5 digit 116613LB vs. the 6 digit 116610LV. The extra weight of the 6 digit has probably more to do with the larger case (logs/crown guards).

See my post right above yours.

[JSolano305]

I used Casios. Bulovas. Tags all my life. Beginning of this year my financial levels finally permitted me to be able to afford a Rolex. I ended up buying a 114060 and then a BLNR. Let me tell you..I love the light weight of a Rolex watch on my wrist. I no longer wear the Tag Aqua Racer anymore. I feel I'm wearing a brick on my wrist. Anyways did I mentioned how much I love the BLNR? :)

[Xerxes77]

I understand what you feel BUT you need to consider same watch on another brand!
You will pay more and maybe you received less! Just my opinion

That's what I want to know. What kind of watches are you wearing.

[marzzz]

Mine hasn't left my wrist since I bought it nearly 2 ½ years ago. Still occasionally look at the SubC No Date, but never fell like pulling the trigger.
