Anyone flip their BLNR for a BLRO?
Given the opportunity and not for flipping reasons, has anyone made the move?

Add SS BLRO and keep BLNR as daily wearer.

I would flip my BLNR for a BLRO. I wouldn’t add much money though, so in other words, it’s not gonna happen lol.
In all seriousness, my situation allows for 1 ceramic gen GMT. It’s entirely possible i’d prefer the BLNR, perhaps even probable. But I simply wouldn’t know until I tried the BLRO, and I very much would like to try it. |

I like my BLNR, not sure I want a BLRO, but I wouldn't flip to get it.

Sadly it would be easier to tell you what I haven’t flipped

Love both! They serve two separate purposes and compliment each other very well

Didn't flip but haven't worn my BLNR once since adding BLRO. I much prefer BLRO so for me if one had to go it would be easy decision.

I personally wouldn't because I have a 5 digit reference blro. If you really want the Pepsi I can understand moving your blnr if it was for a 126710blro at MSRP or if you are moving up to a 116719blro wg.

For one GMT, the BLRO would be my vote.

Both can coexist in a collection, they’re different enough. If choosing only one...I’d go BLRO

Have the BLNR, and on a list for a BLRO which I'm told is probably still going to be a year out give or take. Not sure what I'll do when the BLRO arrives, but what I've learned is that having two of nearly the same piece in my small collection never ends well. I always get bored with one of them. My guess is that I'll move the BLNR a short while after I pick up the BLRO.
That's exactly what happened when my 116600 arrived, I moved out my 16600. Then when my 126600 arrived, the 116600 sat on the winder for 6 months. Eventually moved that out too. Good luck to you! |
