Battle: BLNR (Batman) or BLRO (SS Pepsi)

[superdog]

Wearing the BLNR today.

Love this watch. I say it all the time. But it’s quite possibly the best all arounder out there.

Still tho, the minute I get home I’ll be putting the BLRO on

1) I prefer the color (especially over the not so blue and red ceramic BLRO)
2) Movement improvement means little to me, the movement is solid and extremely accurate with the right regulation/regular service......power reserve increase has no use for someone that rotates watches regularly like myself anyway.
3) I don't think the case got all "that updated."
4) End of the day, I think the oyster bracelet is more versatile than the jubilee.
5) Value retention, I think both will retain fairly well but it's never going to be a Daytona.
6) People who really care about the heritage of BLRO will be buying 16710/16700's anyway IMO.

What update did the case get?

[BVLDARI]

I voted BLRO. I like the colors...

Looks like all BLNR owners are out in full force voting

True haha

I own both and really don't know which one I would choose if I had to keep one or another !

Obviously right now the BLRO is more appealing to me because it's quite new however, after getting the BLRO, in a curious way, I'm beginning to appreciate my BLNR even more than before !!

[cdlerx]

Sticking with this anytime.

This pole is fake news.


There is not a real person who wouldn't swap their batman for the new Pepsi if the offer was a lateral trade.

A loser always complains the poll is not real if the result is not what he wants.
What you said about swapping the BLNR for the SS BLRO by a lateral trade is actually a different thread. You can make such a poll to see if it can satisfy your desire to suppress the popularity of the BLNR.

The blnr is a long time forum favorite for good reason and as such tons of members own one. There is a lot of pride of ownership in the poll for sure.

[hai.tranhr]

I own BLNR so I vote for BLNR

[herc]

pepsi for me :)

[DoctorA]

For this vote to be fair, it should be only those who own both or own none of them!

Oh boy. Thanks for questioning my “real” existence since I wouldn’t make that trade :smilie:

[Investr]

BLNR! I dont like red and really dont like raspberry

[rjd1]

Have them both - and despite not originally being impressed with the WG version or the Basel SS release, now that I have seen it and own it - I vote PEPSI hands down.

[UnicoJG]

I don’t own either one but I would definitely pick the SS Pepsi BLRO. Not because it’s the newer watch but because I find it more appealing.

[woof]

Batman

[tcheeco]

Get them both. I just got the BLRO, I love it so much that I ordered the BLNR, lol, it will arrive within October

[Greg5512]

The color of the red ceramic just doesn't do it for me, and the two colors themselves are loud enough that I feel it'd draw unnecessary attention to itself in a professional environment.

Having just purchased my LN, I'm a little bummed about hte better power reserve, but realistically, the watch rarely leaves my wrist anyway, and when it does it sits on a winder so I don't need to worry about resetting the date/time. I also think that the PCL oyster bracelet is tough to beat - and I don't think that a jubilee fits the watch particularly well.

Just like I think about it

I will go for BLRO for sure, as I believe the color pops up really well. I’ve got the BLNR but it loses it’s charm on me within a week. Rolex colors on their ceramic bezels seems to be more vivid in pictures but rather subdued in metal under most lighting conditions. Didn’t achieve the contrast level I wish it would. But again this may be the selling point for some other folks.
