I assume after you wrote the title your "." and "Shift" keys jumped off the keyboard and committed suicide. That is the only explanation.

To answer your question... I personally like the look of the WG sub more. The BLRO looked pink and purple when I saw one in person.

Try them both on then pick the one you like best.

fjkyle · 6 October 2016, 10:01 AM

I own a gmt... But smurf for me between those two unless you use the gmt functionality.

The smurf is clean. Pepsi too busy for me. GMT plus 24 hour bezel plus all the colors.

BLRO For Sure!

Presa canary · 6 October 2016, 01:01 PM

That is the greatest sentence I have ever seen

darwin95 · 6 October 2016, 01:08 PM

both awesome choices.
to me, BLRO is occational watch while Smurf is more like daily one.
I chose Smurf and hope to add BLRO soon.

Let's go Mets.

That hurt to read

As for the watches just pick one as either will serve you fine

kngzfrd · 6 October 2016, 02:47 PM

If it were my money, it would be the Pepsi (but it isn't my money). Buy what you will enjoy.

We all have that problem, also, reserve some money for ENTER key for your keyboard.

RichM · 7 October 2016, 12:02 AM

Like you, I couldn't decide so I bought both. If I had to go with only one, it would be the SubC. Let us know how you make out.

osamu · 7 October 2016, 12:43 AM

definitely feel like this gets asked often. Both white gold sports watches, with some color.

I think visually I feel like the black dial with the more subtle color of the BLRO bezel is more versatile than the all blue smurf.

I haven't gotten to try either on, and I know my taste changes after having them on my wrist. Just knowing my taste in watches, I am pretty confident I would pick the BLRO.

Exactly.

At leat there is a "?" !

Lost interest reading one-quarter in and sorry can't help.

avilhena · 7 October 2016, 01:07 AM

Sub!

Wcdhtwn · 7 October 2016, 01:59 AM

GMT is more useful. Smurf is better looking. If you need a GMT get the BLRO, if not get the Smurf.

But frankly the SS version of each is the best option. Get a Hulk and the BLNR if you want color. Simplicity, yeah all that, but once you get a Rolex you'll want another. Take care of that problem now, especially as if you go PM now you'll probably want to stay PM and that makes adding a big investment and a longer wait.

psv · 7 October 2016, 02:06 AM

Seriously couldn't finish that writing... but if I understand your situation correctly you are trying to chose between the WG Sub and the WB GMT.

Both are beautiful watches. I've always been a Sub/dive-watch guy but in this case I would opt for the 116719 ten times out of ten. It is such a classic Rolex design.

opaline460 · 7 October 2016, 02:07 AM

Blro

tifosi · 7 October 2016, 02:20 AM

Save your money and buy [.], [,] and [enter] keys for your keyboard.

T01 · 7 October 2016, 02:25 AM

I'd go for the WG Sub, which is tough for me to stay considering how much I love the BLRO. Just something about that blue dial/bezel.
