The bluesy normally doesn’t do it for me, but those pictures make it look awesome.

I like both, I think if the blnr was on a jubilee (aka batgirl) that would make them a perfect pair.

I agree. If one has the option for jubilee on GMT, I say go for that and then get one of the many other watches that only come in oyster

Batman has a nice mixture of practical and dress in my opinion.
The Bluesy is all bling,but it looks good.I have the Batman.

The Batman is boring to me. I own a Bluesy and yes, it does pop… but I love it.

Batman and Robin, the dynamic duo. Both are great watches but I'm leaning towards Batman.

Bluesy is exciting to own and wear. I get comments from non wis when I wear it. I was fortunate to get the 116613LB weeks before it was discontinued. It has the better case, dial with gold text and bracelet imo. Beautiful watch!
I prefer the 116613 with the gold text. I am on the waiting at my local AD for the 126613 but if I find the older version for the right price I am in.

I totally agree. Without the gold text, I would not have been as interested. I might not have turned the white text version down but I sincerely appreciate having this one!

If i had the chance to buy both, I would do whatever i can to make it happen. Those 2 are very beautiful watches in my opinion.

BLNR all the way for me.

I've just never liked the sunburst dial (which is beautiful in it's own right) with the flat blue bezel on the 116613LB / 126613LB. For me, the perfect TT blue Sub would be a 116613LB (since I like the 11 series more than the 12), with a flat blue dial to match the bezel more (like the early ones had), but with the white text as I much prefer that on the 126613LB compared to the gold text on the 116613LB.

But even then I'd still prefer the BLNR!

First of all the BLNR is a half of a second slow so let's tidy that up next time before you take pics ;-)

Honestly here is my opinion. I have owned them both. I do not own either of them any longer.

1. BLNR - I liked it. I got it when the first version came out. It was my first PCL bracelet. I did not like how quickly it looked scratched as I wear all my watches and don't really pay much attention when wearing them. I traded it in on what I thought was my holy grail, a white faced non ceramic Daytona. Probably the second biggest mistake I ever made in my watch hobby (first was buying a fake sub in 1993 on Ebay)

2. Bluesy - I love this watch. It stands out and every time I saw someone wearing one it just sang to me. I got a chance to buy one new so I did. I really did like it but found myself not wearing it much. It really stands out and screams look at me. I do not like that and found myself very self conscious when wearing it. It was really only a special occasion type of watch. It was part of the casualty for me to get my first PM, WG Sub.

Short answer. If I was rich and had unlimited watch funds, I would buy them both and have them in the collection. I am not rich so they are not high enough on my list any longer.

Before, I would have said BLNR. However, my friend just bought the Bluesy and I can't believe how good it looks on him. With a nice suit on it is not flashy at all. However, with jeans and a t shirt I think it's totally flashy if you're into that sort of thing. Versatile watch!

At this point in time, I would say Bluesy.
