Given the opportunity and not for flipping reasons, has anyone made the move?

Which BLRO reference? A 16710, the new ceramic SS, or a WG ref?

swils8610 · 22 September 2018, 10:20 AM

New ceramic BLRO. Jubilee bracelet.

Not sure if move either one for the other.

Both are truly awesome.

Sold my BLNR for a BLRO WG and very glad I did.

JRT · 22 September 2018, 11:32 AM

Add SS BLRO and keep BLNR as daily wearer.

I'd never part with my BLNR.

lenfried29 · 22 September 2018, 11:48 AM

I did the opposite - BLRO for BLNR and very happy about it and never look back

Chadridv · 22 September 2018, 11:50 AM

I would flip my BLNR for a BLRO. I wouldn’t add much money though, so in other words, it’s not gonna happen lol.

In all seriousness, my situation allows for 1 ceramic gen GMT. It’s entirely possible i’d prefer the BLNR, perhaps even probable. But I simply wouldn’t know until I tried the BLRO, and I very much would like to try it.

I did the same.

Yobber76 · 22 September 2018, 01:14 PM

I like my BLNR, not sure I want a BLRO, but I wouldn't flip to get it.

GB-man · 22 September 2018, 02:09 PM

Sadly it would be easier to tell you what I haven’t flipped

junamuan · 22 September 2018, 02:35 PM

I would never flip my BLNR. I love its subtle colour combi.

David5807 · 22 September 2018, 02:55 PM

I just flipped my BLNR for a bi-metal Daytona

DoctorA · 22 September 2018, 02:59 PM

Love both! They serve two separate purposes and compliment each other

very well

Me neither. I’d only add to my collection. Love my BLNR.

Nairn1980 · 22 September 2018, 06:19 PM

My Blnr will never go. Incredible piece

HL65 · 22 September 2018, 06:45 PM

Didn't flip but haven't worn my BLNR once since adding BLRO. I much prefer BLRO so for me if one had to go it would be easy decision.

WristEnvy · 22 September 2018, 08:17 PM

I personally wouldn't because I have a 5 digit reference blro. If you really want the Pepsi I can understand moving your blnr if it was for a 126710blro at MSRP or if you are moving up to a 116719blro wg.

fskywalker · 22 September 2018, 08:48 PM

Don't own neither but from those 2 would pick the BLRO (at retail price)

What about chnr - I have chnr > blnr. Easily actually

Old Geezer · 22 September 2018, 10:24 PM

i think if its not a flipping or money issue, they can go well together. I think a BLRO and an LN coexist quite nicely and a BLNR would be the same. Had the bracelet not been different i would have a different answer.

For one GMT, the BLRO would be my vote.

I like Spider-Man more that Batman.

rmlovett1 · 22 September 2018, 11:26 PM

Both can coexist in a collection, they’re different enough. If choosing only one...I’d go BLRO

j-watch · 23 September 2018, 12:26 AM

Have the BLNR, and on a list for a BLRO which I'm told is probably still going to be a year out give or take. Not sure what I'll do when the BLRO arrives, but what I've learned is that having two of nearly the same piece in my small collection never ends well. I always get bored with one of them. My guess is that I'll move the BLNR a short while after I pick up the BLRO.

That's exactly what happened when my 116600 arrived, I moved out my 16600. Then when my 126600 arrived, the 116600 sat on the winder for 6 months. Eventually moved that out too. Good luck to you!
