Current WG BLRO owners--

Would you send in your watch for a free blue replacement dial if Rolex offered to match the current WG BLRO?

I don't think the blue dial looks as good.

I actually agree! :>

I'm just wondering if the majority of owners would want to distinguish their watch from the SS BLRO even more so than with the oyster bracelet.

Under that harsh lighting, it looks pretty good. In real life, I'm sure it's a real looker.

I'm not a WG BLRO owner, but think the black dial looks way better than the new blue dial

The yellowish hue and weight distinguishes it enough.

Unless it looks better in real life I'm not sure why they picked a blue dial that doesn't match the purplish color on the bezel.

I like the blue dial. If I were Rolex I would allow owners to have both and swap at will for a nominal charge.

Should have done a white/ivory dial for the WG this year! I'm sure that would have a bigger impact on the poll results.

I don’t own one, but I favor the black dial by a country mile.
