I voted for the black bezel for aesthetics, but I'm not sure they have the same movement. the BLNR would probably have the new movement with 70 hr power reserve.

Agree. People have multiple subs, so why not get both if you can. My preference is LN, follow by BLRO and BLNR.

Before the 116710 BLNR was produced the only GMT you could buy in SS was the LN. now that Rolex has the BLNR and the BLRO and have constricted the supply of those watches I have a feeling that neither will sell as many as the LN. Maybe if you Combine them they will equal the sales of the LN.

Save the all black bezel for the dive watches. They are the most iconic. The GMT watches that Rolex makes in my mind and most others are 2 tone bezels. They only made it all back in ceramic back in 2007 because at the time Rolex said it was impossible to make a 2 color bezel. Then in 2013 they created the BLNR.

The reason why the all black was produced was at the request of Pan Am pilots because they thought the Pepsi looked like a clown watch.

I always thought it did without knowing this information. I'm on the list for a meteorite Pepsi, and I am quite concerned I won't like to wear it because this childish clown impresion the bezel colors has on non wis, which are the majority of people of course.
