Good pont. Hey...how about a 116613 and a BLRO...now we're talking.

Honestly you have a great point. Not taking away anything from the BLNR (I bought it twice) but it's PM is just a different look all together.

I think the BLNR started becoming a bit boring for me, which is probably ridiculous if you really think about it.. But I'm just being honest. I think I'm going to just go for it!

116613LB is damn near perfect, in my humble opinion :-)

I think it is perfect. I can't keep it off my wrist. My sub and GMT are idle.

Anyone own a BLNR and 116613LB? Thoughts please!

Update for everyone as promised! I decided to go for the blue-Z! I've had it for a few days now, and I definitely made the right choice! Thanks to everyone for your input, it truly is one of the most beautiful watches I've ever owned! I'm sure a few members have seen me post a few, but here's a few more for those who haven't! Had a blast capturing all the different shades of blue! Cheers! 😄👍🏼💙💛

I didn't keep it, honestly I thought about it but I don't have enough watches where I need to own 2 watches with blue....it definitely stung a bit getting rid of it, but I'll add another in the future. I am replacing it with a new Daytona C, whenever the hell I find one lol. Cheers and thanks! 👍🏼

If I may ask, would a Bluesy go well with jeans and t-shirt attire?
Thanks.

Those are great pictures ! Best ones I've seen in a while. Makes me miss mine, I had the diamond hour makers, I kinda miss it now. Another member on here has that now, it was the flat blue. Yours looks great with Sunburst. I traded up to WG Sub, both are great. Good choice. WG = Flat Blue

Wow, huge congrats, that is a strikingly beautiful watch!! I have the smurf-blue 116613LB, and totally love it, but the sunburst blue dial (fitted on these watches since ~2013) is uniquely gorgeous and absolutely stunning in its own right. Your photos are really great, and it makes me want one of these amazing watches, lol!! Congrats again, I hope you thoroughly enjoy your new TT blue Sub!

Best regards, -Rick.

Thanks Rick! They both are beautiful in their own right. With these watches I've learned you have to see them in different lighting to really appreciate them. The sunburst dial is actually a very dark blue at times which is pretty cool, and the flat blue is so vibrant even in dark lighting. Definitely no wrong choice! Thanks again for your kind words!

Congrats. Beautiful watch and photos. The bluesy has been in the back of my mind lately. Would be a hard choice whether to go sunburst or flat for me.

I just tried on a bluesy this week. I don't think its too much blue at all. In fact, I reject the notion that such a thing exists. But it was surprisingly blingy. I don't know if they stay that way after you break them in, but i was definitely wowed.

The bluesy is the bomb. I had the black dial 116613 and was convinced it was better until an opportunity came up 3 weeks ago to acquire the bluesy and did so. Now I have both LOL and added a 116610LV to the mix this week. Blue dial kills the black dial in my now changed opinion. I think the perfect diver collection would be.....116613LB, 116610LV, 116660 Deep Sea and 116710BLNR.

Missing the BLNR in my case, time to trade the black dial TT :)
