Depends on how often you are going to wear the watch and what else is in your collection.

The James Cameron might be too big to wear everyday while the BLNR could be a daily wear. If you are comfortable with the James Cameron as a daily wear, then absolutely keep that.

Not even a question, BLNR goes to behind the shed.

Keep both. No Watch Etiquette Police that enforces having only one watch with blue dial or bezel that I am aware of.

Love the D Blue dial but the thickness kills it for me. I would say BLNR stays.

Though I love both, if pressed I'd probably keep the BLNR, simply due to its increased wear-ability. Especially with the updated model coming, it's not like you won't be able to find another one someday.

Gorgeous day yesterday for some outdoor fun but missed the majority of the discussion here. Thank you folks for your input. I agree both are very nice pieces and I can’t wait to take the stickers off. For now, heading back to the bank safe deposit box.

I have a DBlue and plan on getting the BLNR. They both have blue. But they are very different watch, I’d keep both!

It’s funny but if you asked the same question 3 years ago there would be an almost unanimous verdict to keep the JC DSSD but timing is everything and now - today - GMT’s have become ridiculously hot so the answer maybe different.... anyway much prefer the JC DSSD personally.

Have both and I too would not get rid of either but if forced to decide i would keep the D blue! It is truly special and unique. My 2 cents
