BLRO or BLNR?

[JPS]

Pepsi is the OG & King of the GMT's. There is no contest.

[JSol1]

I have the BLNR (on jubilee) and it’s the one I wear the most. I had the choice between the two, however I do plan on adding a BLRO (on jubilee) soon. Love them both…

Until last week I had owned both models, the BLNR for five years and the BLRO for two years. For most of the time, BLNR was my favorite GMT, but unfortunately after a long time of use it has worn out for me. BLRO started to be heard more and more often, especially since I managed to buy a second bracelet for it on Jubilee.

I used to answer such questions - BLRN, today I say BLRO!

Two of my favorite watches.

Since I separate “market value” or general desirability from personal preference the BLNR slightly edges out the BLRO for me. Slightly…

Both on jubilee.

This question comes up quite a lot. BLRO wins in popular votes almost every time. If that’s the basis for your decision, then go BLRO. If not, merely choose whichever color scheme you prefer…

I own both but would choose the BLRO on Jubilee if it was a one and only.

this poll is easy for me, BLNR, since I already have this

Agreed, it’s usually always about the same result.

I like the modern batgirl on jubilee and a vintage Pepsi with its more muted colors. The modern Pepsi is a bit much

That’s Keeneland is it not?

I had originally requested the BLRO but voted with my wallet this year and got the BLNR on jubilee and have no regrets about my choice. Nine months later and still so glad I did. That being said, if Rolex could get the Pepsi insert to be vivid colors like the aluminum inserts of old, I would sack up and buy one of those, too.

I agree. Nothing against the Pepsi but the BLNR works better for me personally. Pepsi for me is strictly a causal watch because of the bezel color. My opinion is that BLNR can go with both casual or more businesslike attire.

But, no one really notices your watch anyway except WIS, who will appreciate both of them. You can’t go wrong, so buy both!

BLRO on Jubilee.
BLNR on Oyster.

I've owned a BLNR twice and BLRO once. I've had my BLRO for 4 years now and it still feels special after all these years. The BLNR is a great watch but it can't touch the BLRO for me personally.

I have really tried to like the Pepsi more. BLNR just because I like the blue better. I like them both way more on jubilee.

[garyk]

I have been after a BLNR on Jubilee for a few years now. We haven’t been traveling in the past year due to some back problems I was having. Also, the ADs let me know recently I’m probably not going to get one due to their intense popularity :(

Just completed many months of PT, feeling pretty good so I bought a look alike from Steinhart and I’m now ready to resume international travel with my wife.

BLRO. I tried the BLNR more than once and it was short lived. Never clicked with it.

I personally like the BLNR on Jubilee. I would say my favorite BLRO is the “under the radar” white gold with the black dial before they went to the blue dial on the white gold. Seems like BLNR recently has been easier to get than stainless BLRO. But that’s just observation from incomings on the forum. Really, can’t go wrong with either.

Both are terrific, but gotta go Pepsi. Very tough to beat the original Rolex GMT look....

Here it is!

The LN is still an absolute stunner.

Most people will vote for what they have. You will get more votes here for the BLNR because it’s relatively easier to obtain. But the BLRO is special and more rare

Have a BLNR on jubilee and love it. I would go for a BLRO on a BRUSHED Oyster bracelet in a flash but I really don’t want one PCL.

Or alternatively, most people will buy what they actually like the most.

I already had my BLNR when I put my name down for a BLRO at my AD, but when it arrived I didn’t like the way the bezel colours were done so I turned it down.

I can’t speak for others, but for me, the BLNR is my preferred choice, not some kind of “second best”.
