The blnr is a no brainer.
Get it. It's a beauty. The blue bezel changes its tone in different lighting conditions.
I'm surprised you can get it for that price, as it's pretty difficult to obtain in Australia and my AD has a waiting list of 3 people plus will only add you to the list if you pay in full in advanced.
Even if u change your mind, you can flip it easily for little to no loss.

Having recently bought a BLNR I would agree, not had it off the wrist since purchasing it.

If it's down to a choice between the two, then for me it's the bruiser all the way. Nay be a harder choice if it were the MG. GOOD LUCK IN YOUR FINAL DECISION

Instinctively, I like 'lower profile' Rolexes like Welshlad's Explorer1.
But in this case, I would go BLNR!

Trip to the Rolex boutique... Should I pull the trigger?
Almost overwhelming support for the BLNR wow!
I'm going to take the weekend to think about it as in leaving Saudi tomorrow. Will likely nip into the Rolex store in Dubai to try on both with my SO if possible. Maybe even see if I can get a better deal there
It's moments like these where I wish I had a money tree somewhere and I could just buy both problem solved haha

Re: Trip to the Rolex boutique... Should I pull the trigger?
As much as I like the OP for the money I'd rather have an Explorer I, of your list it would have to be the BLNR, that's a better price than in duty free out here and our prices are good from what I know.
Do it, do it.

Re: Trip to the Rolex boutique... Should I pull the trigger?
To update everyone after I got my jean Richard and really bonded with it the desire to get a New Rolex subdued dramatically for some reason. I kept going back to the pictures and just could not justify dropping that much on a new watch that I wouldn't wear all the time. The BLNR whilst lovely got no love from the ladies (SO and my dearest mother) and the OP was slightly underwhelming. If I won a lottery I'd certainly get both. But at the moment I decided to pass
That's not saying that I did not in fact ultimately purchase a Rolex, I've got one incoming and will hopefully have it next week. Any guesses as to what?
