Cheers.
One thing I would say. The steel pepsi BLRO is more comfortable to wear, particularly for long periods..

The WG version is a heavy beast and unless you're used to wearing heavy watches it can be a bit of a pain. You can really feel the 80g difference.

For those of you who think Rolex is going to "fix" the bezel color you're in for an infinite wait. They would never have released it if they weren't happy with it.

The most important is that you like it !
And nice picture btw

The color rendering, for me, is a no go

Well I gotta ask. Have you actually seen it in person, held it in your hands and still draw that same conclusion? Or are you simply referencing your opinion off the various photo's with various lighting scenario's being displayed around the net?

Glad to hear you were able to see one and try it on, OP.

I almost regret going to my AD's "Basel" event a few months back where they featured display/dummy models of all the new releases. As soon as I had the BLRO on my wrist I knew I needed to have one. This was just a few months after adding a BLNR collection too.

If Rolex released a Coke with REAL colours tomorrow, the dodgy coloured Pepsi
prices would plummet.

It's a great piece for sure. But $21000 for essentially a different colour around the edge and a braclet that usually costs a few dollars more than the oyster? The market is full of fools.

I know, movement etc etc. But this is getting nuts. I have the LN and it does the same thing. So a bit of scarcity and now people can charge nearly x4 eight years later, for mostly cosmetic changes?

For some reason I love it when people say “dodgy”.

Lmao.

Was thinking the same thing.

You get to a certain level, and opportunities come your way.

Purple under those lights, sure. In daylight and when you wear it the watch is blue.
