That would make me laugh. Teach these ejits to stop taking life so seriously.

It's just people disagreeing on the internet about paint.

Looks mor purple to me. Probably due to the red pigment.

More discussions about paint. Well pigmentation.

I find it more 'purple'.

I believe the process is that the insert starts out as all the same colour and is then treated so half is changed. For the BLNR it starts all blue and is made black/blue. For the BLRO it starts all red and is made blue/red. For a RONR it will have to start all red and be made black/red.

I personally think the BLRO doesn't have distinct enough colours due to this process, but the BLNR is fine as I think the Coke will be too. Changing to black from red is probably easier than changing to blue from red...

Whuch, sadly, may mean that any RONR will not be a partcularly "strong" red.

Who cares - I'm off to see if my two local ADs will take a deposit against one (in the event that its released at Basel 2017). Worst case, it happens and I don't like it and can flip.

I think it will be a strong red, you can then easily black it out. Darkening red to blue without the red showing through is obviously tricky, hence the purple look of the BLRO.

Whos trolling. I own and have owned multiple rolex watches. I also own and have owned a vast array of other brands. I call it as i see it. Just because you disagree and worship the almighty rolex above all other brands and you think they are perfect in every way does NOT make me a troll. Sorry.

You are of course. I think I made that clear in my last post.

Also I took the liberty of fixing that for you.

This thread is ridiculous in the manner of which supposed grown men, act like little children throwing their rattlers out over and over again.
Why 'the few' can't seem to act their age is beyond me. You sit behind a keyboard and fling insults instead of respectfully stance your opinion and thoughts, and then listen to acknowledge others... That's simple courtesy, and a trait I would have thought all here would have!
Obviously not though, we have a small group of kindergarten bullies!

We allow and enjoy a spirited discussion, as that makes for an informative and well rounded forum. But when it turns into esteemed folks being disparitive to one another without respect, it's time to End the sandbox tantrums!

To the few on this thread that are being argumentative for arguments sake, and nothing else other than causing a playground fight equal to who's got more jam on their sandwich, you are noted for reference and there will be little warning before the door is closed should that posting style continue..

As for the OP's 'Official' claim, is it really that big of a deal, right or wrong?

Closed!
