Already have my BLNR, so I'm in the waiting list of BLRO.....

Anyway that was not your question, right? If you don't have any of them my pick is BLNR!!! Don't call the attention BLRO do, with more flashy colors and the jubilee bracelet, so IMHO it's easier to use.

I'm not saying that I'm not in love with the SS BLRO, it would be a lie. Anyway, any pick is a correct choice.

I want Pepsi! PCLs are not for me and the Jubilee just hides little marks better.

If the BLRO was actually Blue & Red I'd go for that but they've got the colours wrong, it just looks so faded/washed out so I'll stick with my BLNR.

Me personally, I don't like flashy colors on the watch. Especially red, looks to me as kids watch. Like BLNR more.

I’d go BLNR. I like the black and blue color combo and prefer the oyster bracelet over the jubilee. Now if the jubilee had the concealed clasp, I’m all in on the BLRO.
Have plans to add a BLRO as soon as I get the call. Hopefully I get a couple of months to enjoy my Daytona C and SD43 before I do. It’s been an expensive 3 weeks.

Very, very hard to decide !
Although I'm still having my honeymoon with the BLRO, I'll always keep a special and unique place for the BLNR... Nothing can beat it IMO.

the jubilee is surely interesting but it just does not go with the usual buckle, which makes the combo look weird and like an artificial match IMHO. also i strongly dislike the bleached colors on the BLRO. either rolex wanted them this way, then they made a bad choice or they cannot do them in a nice way then why should one buy the watch? i already turned down the BLRO twice from ADs, so it seems the supply is kind of normalizing.

off topic: Is the blue the same in Batman as in Pepsi? Thanks!

If you like Jubilee then go with Pepsi. I like both, personally I'll get the BLNR for the oyster bracelet since I have vintage DJ on jubilee. Gotta change it up :)

The obvious answer is both. Buy the BLNR now at MSRP and the BLRO 24 months from now when there’s a new “it” watch. That’s my plan anyway.

Thanks my friend! I will bet you a cocktail that the Pepsi becomes top dog vs. your BLNR.....

Either way, drinks soon.

Thanks. The Pepsi blue looks more lighter/purpleish to me.

Purpleish yes, as for lighter...

I would say no. BLNR blue is deeper and lighter in my opinion.

I like both "blues" anyways...
