Oops sorry for the double post, I thought the first didn't go through. Anyways, I am loving the GMT II BLNR so far and it is keeping time at -1 seconds per day.

Loving my new GMT Blue / Black. Don't care what nickname it gets, because it looks and feels great on my wrist and that's all that matters!

Great lume shot! You got both the lume and the blue bezel! What kind if lighting did you use for the setup?

I've heard some say they feel the bracelet has too much bling....any owners feel that way? Still my #1 for This October unless Basel changes my mind :)

Not at all...I love mine. And the blue bezel really does change colors in different light.

I was worried about that at first, as well. It's now my daily and I have never once felt it was too blingy. I think the PCL's actually add to the versatility of this watch. Absolutely love mine!

I totally agree. I used to think pcl were blingy but just adds to the watch. PCL's on a two tone gold/ss combo I still think too blingy.......for now.

I received my BLNR today. Thanks to Takuya (Thanh Do) who facilitated the acquisition. No pics required, ya'll already know what this badass GMT looks like. Besides most of the pics on this thread are awesome!

It's been a rough winter with not much sun, until last week, so decided to take some pics and share them here. :-)

It's a really classy watch. Yes, the PCLs add a little bling, but for me, as my work watch, that's OK. I get positive comments about it all the time.

Ironically they don't understand it either way. Here's how my conversation went at the BH boutique in January:

Me: Do you have a BLNR GMT?
Dealer: What? *looks at me like I'm crazy*
Me: The black and blue GMT?
Dealer: Oh, is that what they're calling it? No we can't keep them in stock for 30 mins.

Meanwhile, John at Ben Bridge in Houston Galleria knew the model number and the nicknames batman and bruise(r).
