BLNR GMT at last :-)

Pics to follow.






Fantastic piece.

Congrats.

Have really had a hankering for one of these since they were released. For one reason or another, haven't managed to buy one yet.

How are you finding it so far?


My 35th birthday coming up in December. Might have to treat myself to one...

Loving it - not worn anything else since picking it up.

Fantastic looking watch, really like that.

I was contemplating between a dress JLC and AP; opted for a used AP RO Chrono so excited to get that in the next week or so.

My thoughts too - GMT BLNR is very very nice watch but I am reminded of the Blue dialled Yachtmaster that did not last long.

Fair cop, but the BLNR is much more of a tool watch.

Not with Polished centre links - brushed finish would mitigate this.
Your watches tend to be fairly similar( divers seem to be a theme) and from what you have posted do not tend to verge towards what I would call the bling end. The BLNR (IMHO) is verging on Bling and I guess this might not be the image you are comfortable with (all observation I hasten to add).
As I said earlier, the BLNR is a very very nice watch - enjoy it.smile

Some of them are similar - I do have several divers for sure, but this lot are reasonably diverse IMHO



























The BLNR is more bling than many of my watches for sure and I'm not suggesting it's a life long keeper with my track record, but I can't remember wearing a new for so many days without a change.

Great collection of watches cool
I think you have flipped several of the divers I remember you had - Seiko GS Diver, Great White Seadweller, Doxa Orange faced diver?, Eterna etc
I tend to go for divers and chromos too but I am trying to branch out into other watches.

Thanks - It's not all of them.

I still have the Seiko GS Diver & whilst the Great White is gone, the Red Sub that I traded it for is a real long term keeper.

2 incomers for me! One special and one beach/holiday/work watch.

I'm in Spain working at the moment though so will be waiting for a week or so before they eventually get with me. Will post my own pics when I receive them.

PRS-21 Dreadnought Voyager GMT. One of the best looking dive watches around in my opinion!




And a 'daily beater' so to speak - Deep Blue Sea Ram Chrono. Will be on a shark mesh or possibly a nice orange rubber if i find one i like.
