Incoming - BLNR for New Member

Just joined and just got my new headliner piece to my modest collection - very happy with my BLNR :)

D'oh, need 10 posts to embed an image...so instead we get an attachment to show its place in the quiver.

Thanks for having so much great info (and some not-so-great info too, in fairness) within the pages of this forum.

Congrats! Beautiful collection of watches you have. I'm a new member and in the market for my first Rolex. I've been eyeing the BLNR and I think that might be the one I'll go for. Here's a stupid question from a noob.....What does BLNR stand for? I see it everywhere describing this watch, but never knew what it actually means.

Thank you very much dmash! Makes sense now. I wasn't thinking of abbreviations in French. I guess I should've thought about that since I did know the ring is referred to as a rehaut. I'm learning a lot on this forum so far!

What, you mean green isn't the normal color for Rolex crystals? Maybe I have a fake

Okay revised photo now - if I've learned anything from this surprisingly annoying process, I suck at watch photography

I'll give it a shot on the original post too - can't live with having a green BLNR

Gives us a good idea on what a BLNR would look like if they offered it with the 50th anniversary dial!
