Vote 95% to 5% in favour of the BLNR

Now I can see why I'm on a 2 year waiting list

wow im clearly one of the very few that went with the PAM, the BLNR, although i respect it does absolutely nothing for me (runs for cover).
if it had been between the PAM and a Pepsi, then it would have probably been the Pepsi.
anyway enjoy whatever you go with.

I'd be very surprised if the BLNR doesn't romp this one on here.....

Thanks for all the replies folks.

I'm headed to the AD tomorrow to have a look at the BLNR. With any luck, I'll also be able to see the PAM and also check out some of Cru's suggestions

Update to follow

Panerai, and enjoy the extra fun with straps and buckles.

Also take a look at the 320 and 233, and the others that Cru suggested.

New GMT ... Which one

I have BLNR and wear it on business trips. It's fairly common in the wild amongst the consulting class so although I love the watch it's starting to feel like a business appliance, dependable and essential.

I am enjoying this one right now, a 16713 on leather. 16713 with root beer brown dial and gold bicolor bezel combination is about my favorite GMT of all time. It puts a smile on my dial every time I put it on. Not a daily wearer though.

All black GMT. Why? The all black bezel makes it more versatile, because it's a bit more dressy than the "Batman". However, as someone pointed out, if you got bored with it after only two years that' probably not going to change now.

Would have to agree with you on that 1675 or maybe a 16700 over and above the BLNR!
