Hi guys
I’d like to add a new toy to few I have watches I have.

My brother says go for the GMT 116713

My heart says the BLNR

But my wife thinks that BLNR looks too much to the Submariners I already have, lol

Which one would you choose and why?

Thx in advance

herts9 · 11 November 2017, 11:13 PM

BLNR for me

EmilA · 11 November 2017, 11:18 PM

BLNR adds a bit of blue to that collection

If you buy anything that goes against your heart, you will regret it.

Blnr...the heart has to have what the heart has to have!

Pacheco · 11 November 2017, 11:47 PM

Gotta have some blue in the collection.

haberdashery · 11 November 2017, 11:47 PM

I’ve got both, bought the 116713 first then picked up a BLNR.

Haven’t really worn the 116713 since, so the BLNR gets my vote!

JRT · 11 November 2017, 11:50 PM

You have given your answer and you just need to follow your heart.

2th_doc · 12 November 2017, 12:13 AM

Your wife probably has a lot of shoes that all look the same.

I’d go 116713 as that flash of gold is very striking.

joli160 · 12 November 2017, 12:15 AM

Your brother is right

lecorsaire · 12 November 2017, 12:39 AM

BLNR. The GMT is meant to have a bi-color bezel. While the espresso is also iconic, whenever I think of GMT Master I think of Pepsi, Coke and now BLNR. The watch has PCLs so it won't be exactly like your Subs. If you use the GMT function then having the ability to see day and night quickly is really useful. Whichever you choose it's a really practical watch especially for the traveler or if you have family or business in another timezone.I would probably say it's the most useful feature besides the day on the DD. I always forget what day of the week it is. People hardly ever use chronos, don't dive everyday, but being able to set your watch to local time while seeing home time is really useful.

markseattle · 12 November 2017, 01:27 AM

I would say you should ignore the brother and wife and follow the heart.

When it comes to watches, it's almost always best to follow the heart and in my opinion your heart is right. The BLNR is a beautiful watch.

Tough call. IMO that's the nicest two tone in the Ro,ex line up. The BLNR looks better in photographs than in real life to me, and it didn't stick.

Best of luck deciding

Lol, let’s say the whole story, my wife said that just because she wants me to get this BLRO

But it was unfair for me to put it in the “poll” with the other 2.
It’s on my list, but not for now. In the future, who knows...

Bruins7 · 12 November 2017, 04:18 AM

Tough choice. I love the TT GMT but I have the BLNR. If you want some flash TT for sure :)

shalako · 12 November 2017, 04:46 AM

A while back I traded my TT 116713LN for a BLNR and some cash my way, I like the BLNR but deeply regretted it and ended up buying my 116713LN TT back. Never thought I would be a Two Tone kind of guy but there’s just something about it, one of the favourites in my Rolex collection.

maton12 · 12 November 2017, 06:03 AM

The TT looks brilliant on a rubber strap, IMHO, better than everose Yachtmaster - if that's a look you might go for

However, the blue on the BLNR also sets it off

Used go TT, new BLNR

yannis · 12 November 2017, 06:44 AM

Follow your heart man!

AK797 · 12 November 2017, 06:59 AM

Trade the Black subc for the BLNR and add TT GMTc.

This, NO! Absolutely NO! Black Sub-C stays with me...

kilyung · 12 November 2017, 07:14 AM

Save for what you really want - BLRO. Barring that, get what your heart wants.

Whoa...then forget those other two and get that. Get it now.

Likestheshiny · 12 November 2017, 10:39 AM

I was deciding between the BLNR and two-tone black sub. I went with the BLNR, but it was close. I don't care for the two-tone GMT -- the gold bezel numbers are a bit too "in your face," and the green hand and writing don't go well with the gold to my eyes.
