I might be lucky enough to choose between the BLRO steel and the BLRO white gold with blue dial. Assuming both at their respective MSRP...what would you choose?

jvb.nc · 20 August 2019, 11:29 AM

at msrp the SS is the easy choice. but i absolutely love the WG pepsi on oyster... so i’d probably say both

Rado63 · 20 August 2019, 11:29 AM

BLRO steel

DTap · 20 August 2019, 11:33 AM

Get both and sell me the stainless!!!

pepsiretail · 20 August 2019, 11:34 AM

Stainless Steel

trfChris · 20 August 2019, 11:35 AM

I have the BLRO in white gold (black dial) and love it! That said, the strictly rational move is to go with the SS one since you’ll be getting it for way under market price. In the end, buy what sings to you the most. :)

watchmework · 20 August 2019, 11:35 AM

BLRO on that jubilee!

brandrea · 20 August 2019, 12:16 PM

For me, professional references made from oyster steel are the be all / end all.

Fat_ninja · 20 August 2019, 12:22 PM

Both :)

Andrejb · 20 August 2019, 12:46 PM

I love the blue dial WG BLRO but pretty obsessed with my SS BLRO

IMO the black dial actually works much better. Way better contrast

agreed

Gotemandrew · 20 August 2019, 01:07 PM

I will go with the stainless steel.

chloebear · 20 August 2019, 01:18 PM

I would have said WG before I saw the SS one in person. I still love the oyster bracelet, but the second I tried on the BLRO on the jubilee I was a fan. I absolutely cannot believe how much I like the BLRO on the jubilee. It just really works and amazingly comfortable.

thank you for those pics! much appreciated.

bob78h · 20 August 2019, 03:12 PM

Steel for me at MSRP. I like the blue dial WG too but I would probably be scared to wear it/scratch it.

ZeKe · 20 August 2019, 03:21 PM

I would get the WG, Blue dial...all day because it is more scarce.

scombs263 · 20 August 2019, 03:23 PM

SS @ MSRP all the way......

SearChart · 20 August 2019, 03:58 PM

Steel, because I can't afford 35k for a watch.

HK Islandboy · 20 August 2019, 05:56 PM

Steel

georgekart · 20 August 2019, 07:26 PM

At MSRP, SS, no questions asked. At market price, I'd say already makes sense to go for WG.

dori · 20 August 2019, 08:10 PM

SS easy claps

I have owned the WG version with black dial and for the money it was not worth it for me. I like the SS version and at msrp, if I wanted a Rolex, it would be my choice. I chose a Tudor Pepsi and prefer the watch over the Rolex. I have a large collection and would rather put the extra money into something else.

That really illustrates the dial contrast well

joli160 · 20 August 2019, 09:40 PM

WG, beautiful dial, hefty feeling, very rare in the wild, gold is the best material for a diver

AK797 · 20 August 2019, 09:42 PM

I'd go SS, not enough visual differentiation for the PM for me.

Solo118 · 21 August 2019, 05:52 AM

The SS with Jubilee is just a match made in heaven. That would be my pick, but that blue dial is really damn tempting.

rmlovett1 · 21 August 2019, 06:02 AM

If a choice is between PM & SS....I’m a fan of PM! Very much personal preference

shaunylw · 21 August 2019, 06:06 AM

At MSRP steel, you can always pick up the PM version later.

Watchflair · 21 August 2019, 06:10 AM

Stainless hands down - Pepsi with the Meteorite is a different story though.

iheartrolexx · 21 August 2019, 06:11 AM

steel for sure.
