Great collection, and gorgeous pictures, as usual.
Mike, may I ask if you like one watch more than the others and why? 0r are they equally beloved?

The more I see the BLNR among the others modern SS sport Rolexes, the more I think this watch has got something really special, but this is just me.

I tend to wear one of the Explorers more due to the lower visual profile of the watch. The brushed bracelet lends itself to a bit more "blending in" if you will and the 42mm size hits the sweet spot for me.

That said the GMT is favored for travel due to the bezel. Not only to track timezones but as a short term timing device.

The Black GMT has been my most used modern travel piece, but the BLNA is probably going serve as the main travel watch now. It's really something what a dab of color can do to change the personality of a reference.
