Generally speaking, the guys on this forum seem to love busier bezels with "in your face" fonts. The busy bezel on the BLNR coupled with the large numbers...certainly makes it look less classy, timeless--a little too Sport LUMINOX, for lack of a better word. The BLNR is certainly high quality, not bad looking at all, and I love the blue touch and it's less common than the Sub, for sure. BUT, to me, the Sub is more classic, versatile, and elegant.

BLNR ticks all the boxes for me as a one and only, but I am not a one watch guy

I went with keeping the BLNR as my only Rolex. Made the leap to an AP and hopefully get my PP grail soon!

Tough one but would give the edge to the SubC.

BLNR because more people will notice and think you are successful, interesting, wealthy , sophisticated and better. Then you can get a matching car and live the Rolex dream.

Had both. BLNR still remains. It's much more comfortable on the wrist. Nicer looking too.

SubC LN date vs BLNR as your one and only rolex...

Well I have both.. Sub C gets my vote.. My fav watch all time... GMT is a close second, no need to go by functions as no one needs a watch :)

If I had to choose, it would be the GMT (but would prefer the LN to the BLNR).

For me the Easylink is more comfortable than the Glidelock.

Love the BLNR and will end up adding it in the future, but nothing stands on its own like a sub
