Hello fellow Watch lovers. Been wondering which of these watches would you prefer: the now discontinued GMT LN or the BLNR (either version oyster or jubilee). I like the Batman, but I sometimes consider my LN is more than enough and even a better looker than the BLNR. So what do you think?
Cheers.

Here’s a shot of mine BTW.

I'm partial to the BLNR because I like some color in my watch but they're both nice.

I like the LN better, just not a fan on the BLNR.

Jim Smyth · 10 November 2019, 08:11 AM

I have had the BLRO, BLNR and LN. I liked them all but prefer the plain LN now. It goes with everything.

Prefer the LN.

42itus · 10 November 2019, 08:33 AM

In my opinion the LN is the better daily. If you have a collection the BLNR is a nice piece.

LN. BLNr looks like a piece of cheap candy

djgallo · 10 November 2019, 09:11 AM

The LN is a class act....a little more low key and not as flashy as the Batman/Batgirl. It’s been taking a back seat to the other GMT’s...but, the LN will revive and will be more appreciated and collectable as time passes.

Nikrnic · 10 November 2019, 09:12 AM

I love both. If I were a one or two watch guy without a Sub I would have taken the LN right away. While thinking and knowing the Blnr was a fight to get from an AD I was offered one without asking. Same goes with my Expll Polar, love both but if I was a one watch guy I would have chosen black

Ive always preferred the LN both in 5 and 6 digits and have both.

The BLNR is a nice watch and I can see why people like it or even prefer it. It just wasn’t for me.

Tony1T · 10 November 2019, 09:20 AM

Im bias as I have he LN, But.......

it's Classic, timeless and IMO everything a rolex should be. It also goes with anything. The green accent on the GMT hand and dial is my favourite part

Im privileged to have one.

Wcdhtwn · 10 November 2019, 09:22 AM

LN. BLNR photographs well, but LN wins in person.

This one. My one and only Rolex.

Sorry for the poor quality of pics.

Galaga167 · 10 November 2019, 09:57 AM

If only Rolex allowed us to buy a jubilee for it.

RL777 · 10 November 2019, 10:29 AM

The best GMTs, you can't go wrong with either!

Onikage · 10 November 2019, 10:53 AM

LN. Stuff this BLNR BS. This newfound gushing love for the Jubilee bracelet makes me chuckle too.

Agree. I had a jubilee for a time on my 16710, but IMHO the proportions are just odd with the maxi-case on a jubilee. I’m also hard on my watches and the Oyster bracelets have always held up better for me and haven’t stretched.

LN for daily. BLNR for weekends.

LN is better than Batman, the best GMT. Anyone wanna trade me a Batman for my LN straight up?

LN all day every day. That said, I like the BLNR as well and think it has the most sensible GMT bezel colors of the lot. Both are fantastic references so no bad choice choosing either.

Chester01 · 10 November 2019, 12:00 PM

The LN for me. My brother has the BLNR and it looks good. But for me, I cant get past the fast that it looks a bit costume like with the colors. This is far more pronounced in the BLRO.

I love the BLRO but it is a watch that compliments another Rolex like for example the Submariner or Explorer.

It would be difficult for it to be your one and only assuming you are not Magnum and living in Hawaii.

This is why the LN is the most versatile GMT of them all and could easily be a one watch GADA Rolex similar to a Submariner.

DCheeta · 10 November 2019, 03:39 PM

I have a BLNR but I think if I had it to do over I might go LN. I’m a pretty boring dude and I don’t always want blue on my watch.
