Traded my BLNR

I did the unthinkable and traded my BLNR and boy, could I not be happier.

I contemplated the Blue dial Skydweller but it was to complicated for simple guy like myself and 20k for SS...no thank you.

In reality, there was really only watch that I truly coveted. I bit the bullet and made the WG BLRO mine. It came this morning courtesy of Patrick of OCROLEXGUY. Thank you Patrick.818CEF45-D745-4A4D-8B95-AF0BA40A4BA0.jpeg

I will celebrate with a nice bottle of Brunello this evening. Here is to making dreams a reality!

Congratulations and enjoy! One question only, how’s the weight of the WG compared to SS GMT?

Outstanding. I think it’s a fine upgrade and your pictures are great, it’s always hard to really capture the beauty of most watches outside of seeing it in person!

The way to do it. I don't understand all the hype with the stainless BLRO. The black dial is my favorite as well. The new blue doesn't look right to me. This is the only thing I could see myself trading my BLNR for as well. Congrats!
