BLRO or BLNR

[Robbyman]

Keep the Pepsi

[Socal Runner]

Keep both. Hulk is a great reference but it’s not as easy to wear as your two GMTs.

This one is tough but I'll keep Pepsi.

[D.P.G.]

I had the same choice but at time of purchase. I choose the BLNR for a few reasons which are a blue for day, black for night bezel made more sense then blue for night and red for day. Additionally the BLNR only ads a second color the blue instead of 3 colors which seems a bit much. The BLRO had a pink and purple tint to the bezel but the BLNR colors were perfect. Unless you have them in your hand's it's hard to tell, you can't see this in a photo. I know many will speak of history but I never take that into account I choose the one I like. Honestly I would not rely on my opinion nor other's keep the one you prefer because everything said is only opinion.

As others have said, just add a Hulk. You may miss the one you sold.

But if it were me, I’d let the Pepsi go and keep the BLNR for a few reasons.

Most importantly, you’ll get more money for the BLRO vs BLNR.

The reason I’d keep the BLNR is because it makes more sense as a GMT.
Blue is for daytime and black is for night. I don’t understand what the red/blue or the red/black on the coke meant.

Also, the blue GMT hand disappears on the BLNR (and on the older 116710LN in green) And that’s what a GMT hand should do. Now, when you need the 24 hour hand, you can look for it. But the rest of the time when you look at the watch you see the hour and minute hands primarily.
With the Pepsi, that red hand sticks out too much for me.

For me BLRO= Rolex icon, and BLNR better looking all around.

The 126710BLNR's nickname is the batgirl.

I think both watches are awesome but if it were up to me I would prefer to keep the BLRO.

Easy, keep BLRO.

In fact, I take Hulk over both anytime and any day

This should have been a poll.
Keep the Pepsi. Should be a no-brainer.

Both great watches, if you're torn than sell the one that will bring the most return (BLRO) and go get your Hulk. I have the BLNR on oyster and the Hulk and am on the list for the BLRO so if it's at all possible try and end up with all three.

[Nairn1980]

I love all 3 of these watches and they wear beautifully (especially the GMTs)

Most folk due to hype will say Pepsi, but I have to say I love my Batgirl, so it’s a tough choice to make.

Good luck whatever way you go.

[Manu74]

Pepsi>>>Batgirl
Add Hulk and you have a killer combo!

[VacherObsessive]

Selling BLRO/BLNR for get into another SS Rolex is dumb. You sell because you need the ££. Not to move into other equivalent pieces. You will always lose unless you are a professional dealer.
If you were building up to PM, or higher horology, I can see that.

If you are the kind of person who already has 2 latest jubilee GMTs you don’t need the money to sell to buy another SS!

[timeldn]

I would keep the BLRO

[lord91]

I'd keep the BLNR

[justdate]

Well I’ve purchased all 3 from my local AD over the years and the one which I am wearing today is the BLNR on jubilee. Note I did have the chance of the BLNR on oyster but that wasn’t for me, the jubilee is a game changer.

The Hulk I grew to really dislike even though the dial is so great, the green bezel I found an unpleasant shade of milky green and it just made me hate using the watch.

The BLRO meanwhile is a classic, it’s got great retro vibes and is very cool. My complaints would just be that sometimes it’s got too many colours going on, especially for daily use, and the colours aren’t 100% perfectly executed.

The BLNR has been an outstanding purchase with the bezel featuring the black which Rolex has perfected and also a very, very good blue. Being primarily black with a pop of blue ensures that it isn’t too busy which makes it a more usable combination for me on a daily basis.

If I had to say which I prefer of the BLRO and BLNR I still couldn’t say, but both must be on jubilee, and I think the BLNR is more usable on a daily basis. That being said I wouldn’t trade either for a green sub. But if I had to, I would let go the BLRO as 2 colourful watches is just too much.

BLRO stays and I far prefer the LVC over the BLNR.

[gold&black]

Ditch the batgirl!

[1William]

Not an easy choice and one of personal preference. I would not get rid of either and I would figure out how to buy the Hulk so I would have three. I own the BLNR, BLRO and the Hulk and right now I would not consider trading any of them.

[time_and_cars]

This is my trio... I like more the BLNR no doubt

[Brny11]

BLNR is a watch you love or hate. So I agree with others, you really need to make the call. BLRO on other hand, is one of my favorite Rolex references ever made. BLNR, not even on my top 10 list. Swap it for hulk!
