Icon7 BLRO aka WG Pep-C GMT owners (or wanta be, or wanta see) thread>>>>>

ok was waiting for someone to do this but guess I will.
Since so many threads and info on this newest WG GMT, with so many great pics and comparisons to other watches both old and new would be nice and easier to start posting up in one place so all can view the info......

so I will start and keep adding as we go, and hopefully the other new owners will put some of their great pics in as well

also all of you that have had an opportunity to see, feel and take pics please feel free to post up!!

thanks all!!

tom


ok here we go.......

Some day.. soooomeday i may jump on this ship, i'm still at debating on the WG sub

Maybe if I got rid of my WG GMT , it'll motivate me to get the BLRO, at the moment i dont see the point on having 2 WG GMT :P

hopefully some of you with great pics from AD's etc will post up the pics here as the watch bezel changes SIGNIFICANTLY depending on light, from navy blue and blood red in darker lighting to purple and cranberry in bright light....

thanks all for the help and input on this (I think) great watch!

this pic is a good blue/ red lighting

First of all these shots are fantastic. Secondly I loved that this bezel is a little different in terms of shade. Not sure if that's by design or necessity but the variety is appreciated. I wonder if in the years to come we will see variations in the shades produced as Rolex becomes better and better at bicolor cerachrome. Maybe this is the best there will ever be.

Great shots and great time piece.

thanks and I agree these bezels may morph or develop with time and the first releases may be very different to the ones released a few years from now
