Just picked up this beauty. I had been wanting to add a GMT for a while now and finally landed on a full set 2017 blnr. Originally I was going for the LN but the wife’s favorite color is blue so she had an easier time giving me the OK to grab it. I went with the 11 series purely because of the movement. I’ve had 2/3 32xx end up going to service within their first year so I wanted one I don’t have to worry about for a while. I totally understand how different these wear compared to a submariner. I’ve been wearing a sub daily for a few years now and this thing is soooo much lighter. The submariner will always have my heart but I’ll be wearing this the next month straight.
