The blue bezel on the BLNR spends a large chunk of time looking black. If blue is what you want, I would look elsewhere.

Sounds like you're going to need more blue than the BLNR offers...and there are plenty of good options.

I personally think the Milgauss Z-Blue might be a good option, as it would provide a lot of contrast to your sub...PCL's, non-mercedes hands, polished bezel, etc.

Does the GMTII BLNR have enough blue?

Agreed. The combination of blue and gold is also amazing. My old trusty bluesy agrees too:

The Bluesy is too blue for me. The BLNR is just barely blue enough. Maybe an all-blue bezel insert on the current case & face?

Do you want a rumored "blueberry" GMT?

It's mostly black...dial and half the bezel. If you need a lot of blue get a Bluesy. Or get both!

It's a very tasteful accent. You might want to seek a blue dial if you are that blue crazy imo.

The BLNR has a touch of blue in the real world as the bezel can look all black inside. The Bluesy is signifigntly more blue and flashy in any light. It's all what your looking for.

I think it is the perfect amount of blue. Complements denim beautifully and blue / gray toned suits also. The 2nd photo highlights the only thing I don't like about it. Bracelet should be better integrated with lugs.

It's not a lot of blue but I have owned a bluesy sub and that was too much blue for me. As soon as you try it on you will probably know, for me it is just enough ... but that's me.

For a daily I say yes but as it will only be an occasional watch for you I would go for something more flamboyant like a bluesy.

i dont quite understand why everyone emphasizes that the BLNR's blue changes with the ambient light, etc etc, when there has been comparisons before and it was shown that it is exactly the same blue as the wg/hg sub's ceramic bezel's blue. Wouldn't light also play to change the tone of the wg/hg sub's blue.. am i missing something?

Is that a DJ 41 with smooth bezel and oyster bracelet I see? Did you have to order that or did the AD just keep in stock?
