I do not own sub or GMT, but the BLNR looks really nice! Congratulations!

I almost traded my 114060+cash for BLNR 2 months ago. I thought about it very hard. In the end I didn't. Instead I bought it. Now I have both. Love my 114060+BLNR duo.

RIP Sub C....JK. Congrats and enjoy the BLNR. Sounds like it will be a lot more useful for your needs.

My BLNR has relegated everything else to the safe-deposit box, and I enjoy it more, the longer it's on the wrist. Congrats, and wear yours in the best of health!

Congrats my man, good choice!!!

I've told this many times, but when I finally said it's time for a Rolex I had my eyes fully focused on a Sub C... no doubts. When I went to go pick it up I thought it might be wise to try it on my wrist. They also had a GMT IIC in all black in the case. I tried both watches several times, walked around the store etc... there was no decision, the GMT IIC felt perfect and I found the aesthetics to be superior. I also travel internationally, so like said it was a no brainer.

Good move, I agree on your previous watch being plain.

When talking modern Rolex, I’m a GMT over Sub all day long.

Amazingly, I know longer own a single Sub anymore.

I traded my Sub C and Sub C Date for a BLNR and a VTNR about 6 months ago,
I had the Subs about 6 years, and got bored with them. I'm pleased with the change.

This means he traded up to a BLNR with very little money on top. Those were the days...
