I had a BLNR - And today I don’t. (14060)

It was by my own choice too.

I love the BLNR ... In photos online, on Instagram, in forum photos, etc. When I saw it I knew I wanted to have it. Until I didn’t.

It happened quickly. Maybe even a few minutes into owning it. I loved the BLNR but I hated it on me.

I should love it though. Everyone else does. ADs can’t keep them in stock. It’s going to be discontinued (maybe?)? I have to like it. It’s gone up almost 30% in value since I got it.

Nope. Still don’t like it. It’s chunky, bulky, not proportioned well - beautiful yes - but on my 6.75 inch wrist? No. You can’t fool yourself no matter how hard you try.

Took a year to figure out, but finally, I knew what I wanted. I wanted a 5 digit sports model with the newest movement I could get.

I found it.

A late 2011 - 14060m. B&P with sharp lines and in excellent condition. No solid end links, no maxi case, no bulky clasp. Perfect.

Some advice to those just starting in watches, don’t make the same mistakes I did. Just because everyone else loves something doesn’t mean you also have to. It’s not about the investment or the money. Just be true to yourself and your own taste and style. It’s the best advice I can give.

I will sleep well tonight.
