SOT(Rolex Sports)C

[andy tims]

The BLNR has completed the Rolex Sports part of my collection. Certainly for now.





Of course a DRSD would be the icing on the cake, but that will have to wait (if it ever happens).

PS - I'm ste at group shots

Lovely red sub!

[HarrySmash]

A lovely looking quartet

[Boshly]

BLNR? SOTC? DRSD?

Ok so may have sussed SOTC as shot of the collection but struggling with the rest here

[Miguel Alvarez]

Nice collection Andy

[Janesy B]

I've gone a bit green eyed.

BLNR is Bleu Noir - I think the DRSD should actually be DSSD

BLNR - Blue/Noir (Blue/Black in french - referring to the bezel colour on the watch.)
SOTC - State of the collection
DRSD - Double Red Sea Dweller

Excuse the question from a Rolex novice but why is the watch known as 'Double Red' and called a Sea Dweller when the dial shows Submariner?

And all the time I had a BLNR on my wrist always known it as the bruiser

Thanks for the picture Chris - now I do like the double-red version.

I've now re-read the original post and realised what I missed.

[TimboCD1]

Excuse my ignorance but I have to ask what model is the blue sub?

Got a big birthday in 18mths was 99% set on a LV but seeing that has me torn

[PJ S]

BLNR = 116710

Thanks PJ S - but that's the GMT & it's the Sub that's tempting me.
Got a feeling it's a vintage and is going to be hard to find and out of my league price wise.
