Absolutely not the case. Pretty obvious to me.

I like the vividness of the blue on the blnr but I like the BLRO overall better. The blue gmt has is neat but red is a little easier to see. Honestly, both watches are gorgeous.

All I will say is the new darker colors of the BLRO bezel are a 100% improvement. I just couldn't get on board with the pastel red and blue.

Personally I think the Batman is the better-looking watch, and I think it's the better-looking blue. Based on things I've read and videos I watched, I think the choice for that blue with each is completely due to using the right color that would make an easy cut-off distinction between the halves of the ceramic bezel? The way they do the bezel, without separating the colors but sort of blending them together in the middle was probably the biggest determining Factor on the choice of the blue that they used.

It would be interesting to see a photoshopped pic of the BLNR's blue on BLRO. Though it would be a challenge, coz the 24 hr numbers are opposite.

I have had the BLNR. Love the blue black. And do like the Blue red combo on BLRO. Both really nice pieces.

I have both and the BLRO is by far a nicer looking watch!
I love them both though!

I had the opportunity to buy both and if I had wanted to could have bought both but there was not question, BLNR all the way, didn't need to want both.

Prefer blue on BLNR but red on BLRO. However I would hate that mix. Both look great as is. Though it was not the direct question asked, I’d take BLRO 100% over BLNR.

In regards to OP’s question on blue vs blue, BLNR is more striking. Love that blue.

I own a new Pepsi and the Batman with the Oyster bracelet. I like the Pepsi better because it is more comfortable on the wrist and the new movement keeps perfect time (so far perfect, zero deviation, believe it or not).
