I'm working on it! My BLNR needs a brother. Tried a BLRO at an AD last week, and it felt great.

Giving it a second chance! I don’t think I gave it a fair shot the first time. So I’m back to BLRO ownership and very happy!

Didn’t realize you sold your first one. Glad you’re giving it another shot. It’s become one of my favs although I still wish it had a glidelock.

Thanks guys! Appreciate it!
Glidelock would definitely be a nice feature.

My goodness this is an enabling thread. So interesting to see the colors in various lighting as I’ve only seen it under AD lights in person. Would love to see some profile shots, or at a distance to see how it looks vs close up wrist shots

IMO, the colors are pretty subdued from a distance, at least in normal lighting situations. One of the things I like about it.

Two years in, and I absolutely love my BLRO. It just went through a big test....I’ve been wearing my new purchase for a week (DJ41] and now the BLRO for the last three days....fabulous.

As an aside....I hope it DOES get discontinued!
