The BLNR looks great! I still don't know how Robb keeps his watches so perfect

Honestly, with the new administration's views on downsizing the EPA, US Forest Service, BLM, and the National Park Service, I may be out of a job soon. These are some of our biggest customers.

I love the color but with the PCLs, especially on the clasp; it is just a target rich environment for scratches. With the PCLs, Rolex has taken the GMT out of the tool watch category (Subs, Sea Dwellers and Explorers) and placed it in the dress watch category.

I tend to agree here, BUT my AD said to try it for a while ans see how I feel. His opinion was that over time the oils from the hands dull it a bit and the fine scratches aren't as noticeable. Plan B and C are to consider having the whole bracelet brushed (<$100) or buying a super jubilee to put it on (~$1200). Here's a brushed example from gasguzlr on Photobucket. The super jubilee from loevhagen at TRF And the PCLs

Love it! You should get one, Roger! Looks great on your wrist and goes well with the Explorer. The LN is killing me too, so I feel your pain there.

I love the PCL! I used to have a love/hate but eventually grew to love them

Here are some shots of the BLNR on my sub bracelet. It's cool but felt odd. The GMT needs pcl for some weird reason

The black and blue bezel is more subtle at night. And I learned something new today about the bezel - it has 24 positions (30 min) rather than 60 or 120 like a diver. Makes sense.

Looks great, I would go with a brushed bracelet. I would also wait and see if the rumors about a coke GMT materialize.
