GMT Master II preference question

[xjeeunitx]

Only if the 116710LN had a red 24 GMT hand and GMT Master II in red font....

Had an LN when BLNR came out. Considered flipping, but in the end can't justify 2k difference for half a blue bezel. LN is more versatile, and I don't have a black sub so this satisfies that. Also I have a Pepsi so the bi-colored bezel GMT box is checked. If I didnt have the Pepsi Id consider the BLNR though.

Thanks all for opinion on this. I'm currently trying to make this choice. I've also added the BLRO to the list of choices too. My reasonable brain says get the LN or BLNR with the BLNR as the front runner; my only live once brain says get the BLRO. My biggest problem is I've been to multiple authorized dealers and none have all 3 in stock at the same time. I think if I can see all 3 together that will help my decision.

I LOVE the BLRO and thought long and hard about getting one but in the end, the BLNR is really stunning at 25% the price.
Maybe someday..

I bought the BLNR 2 weeks ago and was facing a similar dilemma. At the end, the LN just wasn't special enough and I know I would've regretted not getting the blnr. From the sheer specs, it's super not worth the markup. Although I was comparing used LN to BNIB Blnr.. our trusted sellers sell the LN for only about 1300 usd less new. That's why I sprung for the BLNR and simply won't think about how much money I dropped for SS ever again :D life is short and you only live once

This, I love my BLNR, but if the LN had a red hand and text I'd own both.

All black.

The blue color is nice but still not deep enough for me

I like black and white so the LN wins me over. On the other had, now that the BLRO is in the play, that's something else. Just saw one the other day, try the Rolex boutique on 5th, they might have them all, other on Madison the Tourneau store had at least a PM line up in the window. If you come back around to SS models, i find the LN is just more versatile and somewhat of an instant classic and i could see it as compliment to any diver for weekend water activities...

Blue.

BLNR - the LN is too close to a Sub - for me. Especially in a rotation. The bi-color bezel just gives it a little more variance.

But ---- if I wanted a GMT in stainless and it was gonna be my only piece - I may consider the LN then.

The BLNR - to me is just a special piece. (As you already know from having one!!!)

I thought this pic of mine was kind of cool. And you can really get an appreciation for the blue...

Not sure about it being an "instant collectors watch"

It's certainly not rare and will likely be in production for years.

I prefer the blue, the black is too common.
