I wouldn’t think they would be quite in regards to it’s integrity, but I could be wrong.

You compare a new, one watch buyer from today with the Rolex factory people?!
Rolex itself is one of the most accurate Factory, which not allow no authentic parts on any watch!! And these people don’t care about little vintage things?! And I don’t mean authorized Rolex Dealers. Most of them don’t work 100% like Rolex itself! Gesendet von iPhone mit Tapatalk

Are you honestly saying their past bring them nothing today?!
Rolex know why they are there today, where they are! Send a watch to Rolex from the past decades and they help with Infos and restore it. They know much more as you think. Gesendet von iPhone mit Tapatalk

In 2011 the RSC in Abu Dhabi had Blue bezels in stock.

Is pointless to discuss about it.
I‘m glad not to own or sold one before. Gesendet von iPhone mit Tapatalk

I am not saying...and I never did say...that they know nothing of their past, I'm saying because it doesn't bring them any profit, they have no reason to put any effort into helping vintage enthusiasts over every little detail. |

They used to discount new models, they don't need to anymore and they sell at a premium. All because investing in watches became an actual thing, even with new(er) models. |

The past, history, Mythos, vintage etc bring Rolex today MUCH financially. Actually the bomb with the blueberry doesn’t happen often. They can let more bombs for sure but they also will loose from doing that. Whatever, everyone can believe and buy what they want. I‘m glad never bought one. Honestly glad.

I went to Rolex in NYC with my grandfather's vintage 1950's Rolex Precision 4471 and they wanted nothing to do with it. They would not service it or give me any information about it. I was dismissed as quickly as I came in.

I’m aware of that, I simply referenced the one I find most plausible but as you say there are many stories floating around. As with all things, there probably is a lot of bad information being passed around. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Well, at least I know my Black Bay Blue is original.
And a lot less expensive than diving into this mess.

I wouldn't expect Rolex to definitively provide this information, given their lack of interest in the vintage market. Their focus is on selling new watches and updating old ones on their own terms, which is their prerogative, but it doesn't help us a jot here. This conversation benefits us all, though.

I think we should get a petition going with online signatures. Send Rolex a letter requesting they do an investigation into the how the Shrouded in Mystery Blue GMT Insert AKA Blueberry came into existence. I don't think this is an unreasonable request. We must within are community here and or abroad within reach of one of are members have someone that can influence such investigation in its such existence. I don't know if maybe someone is afraid to break the camels back, but maybe it was meant to be broken. I know sometimes they say Let lying dogs lie, but.
