Most of the pics from BLNR here are pretty close up and unfortunately do not give a realistic impression of the watch like from a distance of 1-2 meters.

So from my point of view the BLNR is overhyped. The Gmt Blueberry on the contrary looks pretty nice (well, provided the watch and its pictures will become real one day..)

Agree, I have a BLNR, it's nice, but I see it as ordinary and not extraordinary.

Sell it. Don't force it!

+1 and apparently the OP agrees.

It's too much money to not be thrilled with it. I had a Yachmaster that I never bonded with, and I think part of it was the PCL. I sold it rather soon after buying it. Funny though that I have the PCL on my bluesy, but since they are in gold it's a totally different looks and I like it much more.

Put the sub bracelet on and see if it works better for you without the PCLs. If so enjoy and swap the bracelets back and forth (yay glidelock on both!) or brush the GMT bracelet.

If it still doesn't sing, swap it out for something else. Hulk, SD4K, DSSD, TT bluesy etc lots of options around that price range you could swap it out for +/- a little more cash

I apologized and said I need to cancel and refund, he had no problem and I am so glad I did. This piece I think for many people, they just want it as everyone will tell you how great it is but in truth, it's not for everyone.
^^Exactly that, get what you Love!

It's a lot of money to spend on something you're not sure about; if you have not worn it yet, there is something worrisome in your subconscious. Get something you really want and don't let others dissuade you.

Great advice! You just gotta figure it out for yourself.

It's hard to tell if you like it if you never wear it out and unstickered. But I know your hesitation... I choose the LN over the BLNR... the AD had both so I took a very good look.

Probably the reality is take it back and get something you like. If the LN GMT doesn't do anything for you maybe a SD4K? Or a hulk?

Good to see you in here Brother. Beta Theta chapter, Indiana.

I really am thinking of replacing it with a hulk. I love my sub, and think the hulk would be a great choice

I bought my first BLNR had it for a while and sold it because I wasn't sure about all the love.
Bought another one the very next week because once it was out of the stable I was sure about having to have it.
The happy ending is I upgraded to the new Rolex 5 year warranty for no additional $$$
