Wasn't that impressed with the ss version,but really like the WG Blro with black dial and the new meteorite dial . Expensive though.

I would have passed on it if offered 100%, as it's not a watch for me and I wouldn't buy just to sell it. There are other ways to make money

Absolutely right. To be honest - my approach lately is really steering clear of the hyped up references - and enjoying the rest of manufacturers portfolios. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Agree, BLRO is a beyond stunning watch but hard to have this as a one and only. I have a new appreciation for the BLNR though, which I think can do it all (either bracelet)

Had a chance to see the Pepsi in person, just wasn't for me. But the TT RG Chnr was just a stunner in person. Looking at pictures, it was totally the opposite.

I've never seen a Root Beer up close, but I kinda dig the colour combo.

Tried BLRO and...
I really enjoy the BLRO. I will admit, the colors are not perfect. Especially on the MK1 bezel like the one I have. But I enjoy it nevertheless. I found the perfect solution to the bezel colors too. Just own a 5-digit also. Maybe even 2. Problem solved!

I think the 126710BLRO on a sub bracelet (brushed glidelock) would be the perfect watch, at least in my opinion. I can’t stand the jubilee, ruins the watch for me.

Interesting. I got my 5-digit GMT with a black bezel. Thought the Pepsi was overrated. Then as i saw more on here, i resolved to get a BLRO insert. Having got it, i wore it for a day and then reverted to LN. The BLRO while gorgeous, just wasn’t ‘me’.
The coke however..... |

This is an excellent post and reminder. I think when folks get the call from the AD, there is some influence of the perceived rarity as well as the knowledge of the discrepancy between MSRP and Gray market that must influence folks to some degree. Then of course the rarity creates a cognitive dissonance where what we may like is the rarity and feeling that the watch is special and hard to get, rather than the piece that we actually want. I think folks need to take their time, do the research, and don't be afraid to pass. Other opportunities will come up. |

My AD showed me a Pepsi that was spoken for. It does look nice in person, but it wasn’t for me. Glad I had a chance to see it. It is a shame we can’t easily see all these different references before making a decision to buy.

I have had both WG Pepsi and SS Pepsi.
Both are great but for me I like WG better as far as looks, SS Better for comfort and price. WG is the one I miss more. BUT, I like full RG CHNR even better yet for a PM GMT which is why I have it now. Also, Here is a WG worth considering too, I just got the other day... I just love love sunburst dials, as WG/SS Pepsi dial is not as much fun. 2019-05-25_11-23-41.jpg |

Completely agree, it ruins the BLRO and the new BNLR for me. I tried the BLRO on and the jubilee just made it feel a little flimsy. Agree that the jubilee not a sports/professional watch bracelet.

The 🦊 and the 🍇....
I'm joking...to me the blnr hype is not justified. The blue and black together to me and I repeat only to me is like a 🤛🏽 In my 👀...but to everyone its own. I had it and changed after few weeks for daytona...never look back. I was lucky to get blro ss from AD and it was the gmt I was waiting for: proportioned, jubilee, ceramic bezel, right color (compared to WG). It has all I need. |
