Today's looking to be a fun day! Final thoughts?
After soul searching, I decided to flip my Explorer 1. It is a great watch, just doesn't do it for me at the moment.. I am sure I will add one back in the future! Curious what your thoughts are for which way I should go!!

I have two watches, explorer 1 (new version) and a GS Snowflake.

Would you flip both for a BLNR or just the Explorer for a 116610LN (plus cash as needed)?

Will possibly be making moves today... So looking forward to some advice and hopefully an incoming post later

I'd flip just the Exp. BLNR is a great piece!

BLNR. Go for it. I received mine Wednesday. Such a stunning watch. Today I'm wearing my 114060 but I'm thinking about my BLNR already LoL

Strongllly considering. This would be my one and only if I made that move.

BLNR good for 24/7 365? Or does it just work well along side the SubC?

If not, might go 116610 + Snowflake. Down the road I can trade up or save for BLNR.

I'd go for the BLNR. Sounds like its your first choice. Don't settle. The BLNR can be a great watch day in and day out.

I appreciate how popular the BLNR is here on TRF, but I believe the LN is worth very serious consideration. Those green details....

I have always liked the BLNR so that is my advise to you.

Defiantly a 24/7 365 watch. I rotate with my 114060. Eventually adding a DJ2 or DJ41 later this year.

I wouldn't flip both for a SS GMT. Keep one.

You had to go and be all rational about it!! I agree, I like the SubC and Snowflake combo. Also I think the snowflake is a special watch (even if 2nd hand market disagrees). But the BLNR is a fine piece and will have good trade value if I ever want to swap out in the future.

Hmm...

BLNR for sure.
And every day is a good day when you can wear a Rolex :)

Get the sub. You'll have all your bases covered then.

If you think you're going to add the EXP back in some day, it would be crazy to flip it now, that's my thought.

Keep the EXP, flip the GS for the BLNR, and add the sub when you get a chance.
