Never loved the BLNR, but always wanted the DBLUE!
If it were the new Pepsi on Oyster I'd pick that though.

I like bIg divers in general, but the DSSD is oddly proportioned to me, with a small dial to case ratio. So between the two I'd keep the GMT.

Deepsea D-Blue, but see my avatar, it’s my favorite. And I’ve owned the BLNR before, great watch, but if I’m choosing between these two, D-Blue, everytime(but I do have the wrist for it).

I have many Rolexes, when see all of them together, DSSD JC is always the most standout.

I’m also fortunate to own both and although I do love the BLNR I hardly ever wear it so I would keep the Deepsea JC.👍

The gmt. I know folks get the deep sea to be different but it nowhere near as comfortable for daily use and would have to strap down so tight to prevent it from flopping, it will cut the circulation if you play basketball, mountain bike, do anything remotely active. Cue the folks trying to tell me the laws of physics don’t apply because it’s a Rolex deep sea in 5,4,3,2,1 and that they don’t even feel it on the wrist.

Absolutely the BLNR. DSSD is a cool watch but BLNR works for all situations. DeepSea more of a niche watch

Deep sea is a wayyyyy cooler watch. One of the most unique looking and mesmerizing dials out there. However, without knowing the rest of your collection, I’ll assume you only have the two. If so, GMT is a much better daily due to comfort.

I am going for comfort all day.

BLNR. I tried to pull off a DSSD and it didn't work.

I owned them both and this nails it. Honestly, I dove with my BLNR. It will do anything you want in and out of the water. My DSSD JC is a technical dive watch and halo watch in the Rolex dive line up but not the best daily in my collection.

I’ve owned both at the same time but the D-Blue is the only one still in my collection.
I love everything about it and have zero issues with comfort or size. It’s so unique in what Rolex has to offer.

Depends on what else is in your collection. If these are your only 2 nice watches, then the BLNR. The JC is my favorite watch but the GMT is a better one watch solution.
