116710 LN vs 116710 BLNR

[LSBpimp]

Now they can combine 2 colours, im waiting to see wats their next combi. Blue green with red sunburst dial?lolx

As above which one will you choose from this 2? The LN looks like a timeless classic very subtle looking but the BLNR looks very different and stand out.

I am having dilemma between this 2. I have couple of black face watch currently and probably will get a black sub next time.

So which one will you choose and why?

Batman without a 2nd thought

Batman will be my next watch!

[jflye]

yes, never regret getting a batman

If that ever happens, this "ceramic Coke bezel" GMT will likely be on precious metal only

Rolex already has a Pepsi in white gold for those with deep pocket. I am guessing the Coke might be in stainless steel for the masses.

I bought the classic all black 116710LN.
Not a fan of the Batman. I am hoping Rolex will release a ceramic Coke soon.

I think you are missing the point. The BLNR is a nice watch, probably has the potential to become a classic one day. But the difference between the BLNR and the LN is half a bezel of blue ceramic and a tiny sliver of blue on the GMT hand, and the price difference is about 2k. If the buyer is happy to pay the extra 2K, who is to argue?

This is such a beauty. I personally like a more "stand-out" look so i will go for BLNR instead of LN

116710LN more versatile in my opinion, can be both dressy and casual.

but you can always get both gmtc black and subc black =D

Gotta agree.. It might not look worth paying extra for the "color" but it's the patented process to get the color on the ceramic bezel worth the money. After all it symbolizes a new invention by Rolex that created history in the world of horology. Potential future classic. Anyway I love that blue and did not hesitate paying more for it it adds a little sporty and modern touch to the usual solemn Rolex look IMHO.

Bought the BLNR and never had been happier.

Well if u were to see it this way, then when u consider the individual costs of each component and part of the sub, or any other luxury watch, u will probably find thd sum of all parts dun add up to what u pay for.

Half a bezel of blue ceramic costs almost 2K more than the all black ceramic bezel. That seems alot of money to pay for..

Not just the bezel, the BLNR's GMT hand is blue. Different from the green GMT hand of the LN

[kenn18]

a lot of rolex lovers are color whores dont you know? blue, red, green.... it drives us crazy.

A weakness that the Rolex marketing guys understand too well - hence the products and the pricing!!
