In 2015 I was dead set on the BLNR. I went to an AD who had one, this is before the insanity, and also a LN. I’d only seen the BLNR in pictures... I put it on and thought the dressy-ish PCL’s and the casual two tone bezel didn’t work well on one watch. I left with the LN. My taste and preference is keep the LN. But if you aren’t sure and only seen the BLNR in pictures (which are always great) I wouldn’t make that move until you see it in person.

I would just keep what you have. The black bezel and green hand is very nice and classy. It’s more timeless in my opinion. Plus you save a couple thousand. Seems like a waste to me with what you already have.

I get it, sometimes any small details can make it a completely different piece. I love the LN, the only reason I didn't pull the trigger on one is I felt it would be to redundant with my 114060. My AD offered me a Batman eventually so I had to jump on that. Keep it or move it on, whatever you do is the right decision. If you can pull it off for 2 to 3k difference I'd say you'll be fine, as far as the money goes it's all relevant.

Buy and wear what you want not what others suggest.
That's why there are choices not everyone will like the same.
Personal choice to select your wrist partner.

BLNR is the same watch buddy. The color doesn't make it any more/less comfortable.

You will always get close to 50/50 on this question.

Which is irrelevant as it’s you enjoying the watch and not some ransomed on a forum, so you should decide on the trade!

I'd keep the LN, you have plenty of color on the Hulk - perhaps too much :)

I love blue so the choice would be easy, I had the one with the oyster bracelet, don't love it on the jubilee.

I think that I would sell or trade for the 126710 BLNR.

Between these 2, I personally would've gotten the BLNR in the first place. But I'm not sure I could justify the cost of the swap out just for a little blue

I can’t justify selling the LN for the BLNR. I would rather add 16710 for some versatility.

Did you brush the bracelet?
I brushed it then polished it back

The only GMT I'd consider trading for in reality would be the CHNR. Yours is a great watch!!!

No. You’d essentially be paying a few thousand dollars for the exact same watch.
The blue on the Batman dial is not even detectable by most of the population despite how much we love it.

The watch you have is still quite valuable if that matters, and is beautiful and very useful, which definitely matters.

Keep your LN. the grass is not greener. A blue stripe isn't worth $2,000.
