passed on the BLRO

Went to my local AD and I had a chance to try on the new BLRO and couple other time pieces. The AD gave me a great deal but BLRO didn't sing to me at the moment, I guess I didn't have enough enabling pics yet, so I passed on the offer. Maybe next time. Mean while here's some pics. Enjoy.

Due to your new 2014 heavy metal collection, I think I can understand passing on it.

They offer me 10% off the retail which isn't bad at all.

Yeah, you got the PT Frank Muller, PT FP Journe and sealed WG PP. Definitely some heavy hitters.

Wow, they have some nice pieces at that dealer. I still haven't tried on the new WG Pepsi but would love to put mine beside it for comparisons.

Thanks, your RG SkyD looks stunning and I must admit, I was little tempted by the SkyD.

Nice pics, surprisingly I find the Patek to be the stand out. The Skydweller draws attention playing third string in that picture, handsome watch.

Ditto. I'd probably get a Platona next... If I could pull myself away from Pateks at the moment.

I think it is a good call. I just am not into that watch at all. It looks good, but the yg version looks a million times better and is cheaper.

Its pretty but the blue looks too much like purple to me in person. Unless that was the goal?

Is it supposed to be purple?

YG GMTc is a keeper, I almost traded towards BLRO. Glad I didn't

Finally got to see the BLRO on the flesh at my local AD. Stunning in person. Easy for me to pass on it though, just not willing to spend that much money on a wristwatch...yet.
