Now I get it

The greatness of the BLNR. I have enjoyed the many pictures posted here but never had I seen one in the metal before until a couple of days ago. The way the blue half of the bezel changes hues is something to be admired.

I was so tired of everyone raving about it and posting pics all the time, it seemed like every post was about the BLNR. But then one night I saw the guy in front of me in line at the market wearing one, and it blew me away. I had one on my wrist shortly thereafter, and now it's my most-worn Rolex.

In short, I agree and congrats!

When I finally got my BLRO I was pleasantly surprised by how thin and sleek it wears. I thought it would be thicker and bulkier. The GMT2's are a dream on the wrist.

Wanted one, but couldn't justify the extra $$ for one. Just bought the black-bezel instead for nearly $2k-$3k cheaper...

This is a future classic. My first Rolex and my favorite. The blue on the bezel says look at me; I'm special.
Best to you.

Congrats. Yes the way the blue color changes from one lighting condition to another is beautiful.

Black/white/blue color combo is always a winner. It goes with any attire.

Yes I love wearing my BLNR. I wear it more than my 114060.
