x2!! I did the same thing with my BLNR last Summer and haven't taken it off my wrist for more than 1 week since...it really should be an option as the brushed center links and Glidelock of the the 97200 bracelet make it THE PERFECT tool watch!!

Could not agree more. It is easily one of, if not my favourite SS Rolex sports watches of all time.

I agree, It's a fantastic watch. I absolutely love wearing mine and would hate to ever have to part with it.

I have a BLNR and wear it as my daily. Aside: None of the following happen to be mine. Just nice internet shots for eye consumption.

Hi everyone,

I have now had my BLNR for around 3 months and I have to say it's the best Rolex I feel I have ever owned.

Previously owned and flipped models include DJ (x2), LV, SDC, Subc , Sub and SS Daytona.

This feels the most complete. It is stylish, comfortable, easy to read. The GMT feature is a bonus despite not being a frequent traveller.

I feel it gives me what my previous subs have with the added bonus of a splash of my favourite colour (blue). The PCL will always be a discussion point but they add a bit of dressiness to the watch. The ceramic bezel and the PCL catch the light beautifully. I would pick brushed over PCL but I like things original so wouldn't brush them. Glidelock would complete the package but we can't have everything LOL.

I don't wear my BLNR daily as I have a Tag F1 too. If I am doing anything where my BLNR could be damaged or bashed I wear my Tag. I still have some stickers on mine but have just left them on for now - they will be off soon.

Overall I love my BLNR And if anyone is on the fence I'd say make that leap and go and try one on (if you can find one). I believe it is the nicest SS Rolex currently available.
thanks! im looking for one:)

But lovely watch. Congrats guys.

yep check out post #30, BlueDeacon's, for an example of the lower looking magnification...

Yours looks good Nairn.. Not that it really matters much, it's just very curious.

I'd be after one of these babies too, except I think my heart is set on a solid gold green dialled version.

Lookin' good everyone.

This would be my next piece but a bit more than I want to spend...so instead I'll be picking up a pre-loved Speedy Pro Moonwatch.
