Very subjective. The GRNR is more subtle, the BLNR less so

Unfair comparison as the BLNR is THE original two color ceramic Rolex. It’s the one Rolex first launched the entire line with and the one Rolex has not deviated from its original color scheme in any way all these years.

You are correct, and the blue is stunning, crazy that same blue cannot be used in the Pepsi .. BLNR was the one of the first Rolexes I wanted in a long time, I rate it alongside my VTNR ..

I’m a fan of some color. If I’m allocated the new GMt I’ll take one for the collection.

Most experts agree that the BLNR is about 6% better.

The GRNR is "better" if you like grey and black bezels (and non-matching green GMT hands and GMT text), while the BLNR is "better" if you like blue and black bezels (and matching blue GMT hands). Other than that, they're identical.

Personally I like blue and black bezels (and matching blue GMT hands).
