I have a sub-c 114060; compared to that this BLRO feels *hefty*. Like double the weight. White gold is nice - at a glance looks like SS, but next to the sub-c, looks warmer indoors, and brighter yet softer sheened outdoors.



Also notice it sits lower and flatter on my wrist due to the caseback not doming out convex-like as much as the sub-c.



If I could only keep one and money wasn't an object, BLRO all the way. If money *was* a concern and I could only keep one, it's the sub-c.



But, if you can swing it, do both. They're both lovely in their own right, and I hesitate to say one is better than the other in any dimension. :)

Thanks for your insight. Two of the best right there!

Congrats and welcome to the BLRO club! I haven't been able to take my BLRO off since I got it. It's one of those "greater than the sum of its parts" watches; there's something about it that just gets even better the more you wear it!

Cheers, my BLRO says hi!
