I say bluesy but that is my opinion. I'm a little bias though

BLNR all the way, two-tones are the thing of the past, late 90s-2009 and the only two-tones that are acceptable are the classic or vintage. Also the newer subs are so ugly only the white gold one is ok

116613LB. The blue, gold and silver colour scheme works so well. Also I find the bezel handy for timing things during the day.

Blnr would be my choice. The bluesy is more of a weekend watch. It's way too loud. It's beautiful but not for an everyday piece.

Lol. Yeah, ok. Two tone may not be your thing, and that's fine. But they sell a boat load of them, so I wouldn't say they are a thing of the past. That's personal perception.

LB for me, all day long. I really like the BLNR but I love the LB. I have said it many times but it can be my one and only very easily.

I have a bluesy and a 116710LN. Compared the LN to the BLNR as I was thinking of flipping. In a lot of low light conditions,the BLNR looks almost the same as a LN. So I didn't flip. It's a beautiful watch, just didn't do much for ME in person. My vote is bluesy. It's the only watch anyone ever compliments me on (not that I'm looking for them) outside of an AD or WIS type. Those ppl compliment the Pepsi and D-Blue. A lot of ppl say bluesy is a weekend watch as it's flashy. The reality is, in a world of apple watches, no one really cares but you.

If I were to shrink my collection to two pieces, I would keep bluesy and D-blue.

Strange, my BLNR doesn't seem that flashy to me, and it's my main watch currently, though my collection is a little small for now.

Is it the pcl's you think that give off that vibe, or?

Exactly! Still want the LVc though as my next Rolex. I love the crazy colors, they're just perfect.
