If only ONE!!! BLNR or Bluesy Sub C >>>>
So if you it came down and you were a one watch guy ,
Would choose the BLNR or Bluesy Sub C as an all Rounder ? Or maybe flip Sub C Bluesy for Sub C date LN? LVC is a non starter... The Bluesy is so much more stunning than the Sub C Date LN imho... though BTW, PM is not an option ... I know it's all a matter of personal preference and both (BLNR & Bluesy) are stunning in their own right ... Just wondering what my fellow TRF'ers would choose and why ? |

I think the better all rounder is Sub Date LN or better yet, an SD4K.

BLNR for me. As much as I like the shade of blue on the Bluesy, I couldn't get past the gold and the TT bracelet. To each his own, though. This one will very much come down to personal preference.

BLNR all day long.
BLNR all day long. But I'm partial and knew a wall street investment banker who was a total douche and wore a Bluesy. It just turns me off for some reason and is a lot less versatile for a OWG.

Blnr but even then I wouldn't choose it for my only watch. It's pretty flashy in real life and I'd rather have a LN sub for my only watch if you are going to wear it daily.
TT bluesy will get old pretty fast as an only watch.

BLNR For me. If I were to have only one Rolex, that will be the one.

Of the three choices you put forward; BLNR (have one), Sub Date LN, two tone Sub.
I either but all steel or all gold. In between just doesn't work for me. |

I honestly think I'd go for the BLNR, for me a GMT is more practical than a dive watch and the blue/black is pretty choice looking.

116613 because i have a 16613 and just love it... and i'm not even a PCL fan.
but also because if someone asks me if that's the $^@&#! batman, i really don't need an assault charge and the legal headaches. |

Of those two, I'd go BLNR if it was me. But I am not a fan of yellow gold, so TT is a non starter for me, even though I'm an absolute sucker for blue dials.

Mario,
The bluesy for me. The BLNR is a great watch, but I just feel "home" when I put the bluesy on. |

BLNR is less inyaface than the TT Sub, and has a well-useful complication... so, as per usual, I say..."GMTc is always the answer".

BLNR...just not a huge fan of 2 tone even though I love the blue dial. I also like the 16613 more than the ceramics

Much prefer the 116613lb over the BLNR. I wore a 16613lb as a daily for many years. I prefer the six digit version on this model over the five.
