Single watch, LN. More versatile being all black.

The BLNR checks the box for me on a one and done. Fantastic piece to enjoy

Out of all my watches (and not just Rolexes), my BLNR would be the last to go.

BLNR. So much more interesting with all the same perks of an LN. If you travel at all, the GMT is worth it.

If the ln had a brushed bracelet with red accents instead of the green it might be a tough call.

Here's my 16710N with a used Rolex 116710LN Cerachrom insert shaved to fit the 16710 bezel insert recess. This watch has no aftermarket parts.

Stan I admire your ingenuity but I’ve seen that watch of yours with its original serif black and for me that’s the ultimate one and only.

Thank you! I often put the original serif black insert on the watch and like it equally. I don't want to scratch the original, so wear it with the ceramic insert more often.

That’s what I’m talking about! Yep those great serif inserts need protecting. I have an unused Pepsi that’s sole purpose is to add value to whoever sells my watch someday. Only thing I know is it won’t be me.

LN. it’s more versatile in my opinion,the Batman is a bit flashy though it stunning. Maybe if the pcls were brushed, but I’d still choose the LN.

Either one, but I do lean more toward the LN.

LN. I had a BLNR, and found it to be silly.

No wrong answer. A colleague of mine has one nice watch and he wears it all the time. It's an LN GMT and I love it.

If I ever add a vintage GMT to my collection...say a 1675...it could well be an LN.
