Hello, I've fallen in love head over heels with the GMT Master II Ceramic. I would like to know what is the difference (beside the different color bezel) between a regular GMT II and a BLNR.
Grazie

I believe that is it. Just got my BLNR today.

Different color bezel insert and GMT hand.....

What's different? Enough to warrant getting the BLNR over the regular GMT

Flywheel · 16 August 2016, 07:19 AM

About $900

Except for the cosmetics, all GMT ceramics are identical.

Ok, Thank you all, I am assuming the "Batman" is also more rare.....

Define rare.

It's not a limited edition / vintage model. Just ask a trusted seller here or an AD to get one for you.

They haven't been making them as long as the LN so yeah most likely. Still easy to find like all modern rolex.

Besides the aforementioned, BLNR and LN (after 2013) have an aqua blue lume, and however, LN (before 2013) has a green lume.

Cryten · 16 August 2016, 12:10 PM

It's the same watch, just with a bit of blue on the bezel. You'll agonize over whether that little bit of blue is worth the premium and eventually come to the same conclusion the rest of us did. Yes, it really is.

Buy one. You won't regret it.

Z06Chris · 16 August 2016, 12:14 PM

The blue gives the watch a little pop and makes it look amazing. Don't hesitate! Find an AD with one and get it. I paid for mine today and it arrives tomorrow.

I can't wait to see how it shines under the sun!

caprebels · 16 August 2016, 02:54 PM

I looked at both of them but when seeing the BLNR in person, I pulled the trigger. Couldn't be any happier. The blue in the bezel just makes it special in my opinion.

I agree. The BLNR is my favorite Rolex SS watch.

Secretariat · 16 August 2016, 03:23 PM

To your question if the BLNR is worth getting over the LN because it is more expensive, well, if you like it more than the latter, then yes, it is worth getting over the LN.

alandtomi · 16 August 2016, 03:56 PM

Wow, thanks for all the feedback, now I have an itchy finger ready to pull the trigger on one BLNR.

ps it will be my first Rolex!!

pins79 · 16 August 2016, 04:02 PM

It's amazing in hand. I pulled the trigger on it as well. I couldnt make up my mind between this one and the Deep Sea Blue SD so I somewhat rashly bought both. I guess technically BLNR is my first Rolex.

mdaclarke · 16 August 2016, 09:42 PM

Once you're talking about spending £5,600 or £5,950 on a watch you are better off paying a little bit more and getting the one you are 100 % happy with. There is no point spending £5,600 on a watch if you don't 100 % want it.

oldsalt · 16 August 2016, 09:45 PM

Go blue... you won't regret it...

jrs146 · 16 August 2016, 10:17 PM

You can't argue the BLNR is a beautiful watch. But don't overlook the LN. The green gets me every time.

If I were to get another GMTIIC I'd go LN also. That's just me
