Are people wearing the Blnr and putting the Blro in the safe?
I see way more BLNRs in the wild. And when I do see them they seem to be well worn. On the other hand I don’t see many ceramic BLROs in the wild. And on the rare occasion they are usually pristine. I wonder for those who have both wear the BLNR more and keep the BLRO for more special occasions or are safe queens.

The BLNR was introduced in 2013, and the BLRO in 2018. That might explain why there are more BLNRs in the wild and why they show more signs of wear.

No
The blnr is just way easier to get, and by a factor they ship more of it, so there are much more watches on the market.

The BLRO is hardly a special occasion piece.
Wear them to splinters folks. |

I don’t think there are that many people having both of them.

I wear my BLNR all the time. I’ve only seen one BLRO out in the wild around my neck of the woods. But ironically, I’ve only seen one other BLNR, too. So I guess I don’t see either that much. I usually see Submariners, DayDates, and Datejusts around town or when I’m traveling.

The only time I have seen either was at my AD. The only LN I've seen up close was my dentist's.

Looks great. Do wear it any differently than you would any other watch, considering the massive premium? I personally wear all of my watches but I admit I’m careful with them by nature anyways. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Mine has worn differently because I wear it so much. It's the most bashed up watch I own.

I have seen more LNs than either BLNR or BLRO. I kept my BLNR and moved my BLRO - just like the blue/black better.

Remember the BLNR is THE first two color bezel Rolex ever produced and got the color hue right from the start. This year at Disney Resort for 2 weeks and I didn’t see another BLNR other than mine and that is a rich watch spotting zone for me every year. cheers:

Can't see the logic of keeping the Pepsi in safes, even if it gets discontinued next year which is a very slim chance, there were hundreds of thousands Pepsi produced by Rolex. What are these people expecting to get for their Pepsi. The market will be flooded by sellers.

Maybe, I doubt it though. I would say it has as much to do with the number of BLNR's out there from five more years of production and sales. I have both and one does not get more wear than the other.
