I've been considering selling my YM 16622 lately. As I mentioned before, I like having only one watch only ( I have my reasons

).

Been looking around and I've determined that GMT is the most functional complication to me, well, GMT with Date. So the GMT Master II is pretty much the way to go.

So the question is BLNR o LN.

BLNR is a cool piece but I'm starting to think it belongs in a collection not as a 1 watch only.

What do you guys think? I'm open for suggestions!

thesharkfactor · 26 October 2016, 03:25 AM

116713LN is the one for me, but I am biased!

Etschell · 26 October 2016, 03:27 AM

the ln.

Try them both on and pick the one you're happiest with.

cdmorenot · 26 October 2016, 03:29 AM

In my very humble opinion, if you're going to go with one watch only, a Submariner is the way to go.

But since you've already deemed the GMT as the most functional, I would go with the BLNR.

The LN is really really nice but the BLNR needs no intro - This is coming from someone who has purchased the watch and sold it twice and that is only because I couldn't deal with my PCL frustrations.

I would go LN. BLNR is the cool kid that's getting all the love these days, but I think I personally would grow tired of the blue/black combo even though it does initially look pretty cool. I like the LN with the black bezel and then the subtle hits of green on the GMT hand and model name. Seems like it would be a very versatile watch and a great single watch selection.

Sound advice here. Not only that but you will save a few thousand if you buy right and maybe could start a second watch fund

My thoughts exactly

GolfPunk · 26 October 2016, 03:30 AM

BLNR out of your 2 choices

T01 · 26 October 2016, 03:36 AM

BLNR in my opinion but whichever speaks to you more!

GradyPhilpott · 26 October 2016, 03:39 AM

Either the LN or the BLNR would fit your bill.

If you've only seen pictures of the BLNR, you don't know how versatile the watch is aesthetically, given the way the bezel colors change according to ambient light.

I don't think you'd be disappointed with a BLNR, but of course, the LN would be the safer choice.

Ditto Grady, how large is your wrist?

I'm not sure right now.

I'll have to find my tape measure.

It was about 7.75" in that picture.

great answer Grady, I know you've been doing great with your diet

Rocco21 · 26 October 2016, 03:40 AM

Can't go wrong either way but I'd prob go blnr for a little color or two tone.

osamu · 26 October 2016, 03:43 AM

I would think both would work fine. I would probably prefer a little color

beshannon · 26 October 2016, 03:46 AM

You should get the one you like

I like the BLNR

For "one watch" I suggest OP, DateJust, or Day Date.

rmlovett1 · 26 October 2016, 03:50 AM

As a one and only, I'd go LN

I've never measured it. I wear my watches with all links and th clasp set on the tightest notch. The easy link is not extended. I think it's about 7.25".

Thanks Don

I'm having a look at one today andcthis helps with my research.

Looks great on you

Ravager135 · 26 October 2016, 03:59 AM

I like the BLNR or the 116713 in two tone.

ap1 · 26 October 2016, 04:05 AM

Either work as one and only - prefer BLNR for a bit of color. It's still serious when called upon

JLM3 · 26 October 2016, 04:19 AM

Blnr

tifosi · 26 October 2016, 04:33 AM

From a 114060 as one watch owner, I think I'd go with the LN. Although I don't think the BLNR is too "out there" that it wouldn't work as an only watch. So if you wanted to look down an KNOW you're wearing a GMT, go BLNR.
