Gmtiic blro
Question for the BLRO owners.
I tried one on today for the first time. It seems to be as comfortable as my YG GMTCII. Also, the bezel seems to make the watch. Question is this. Is Rolx going to add a GMTIIC Coke? I know it's all speculation, but I think I'd rather have a Coke. But in the mean time, I'll probably pick up a Pepsi.

I'd be surprised if they didn't release a Coke at some point but carpe diem and get the BLRO until then!

If you like the Pepsi, get it. It's one helluva watch.

I would turn your YG GMTCII in for a BLRO instead of waiting for CokeC to happen.

I personally would not wait, why not take the Pepsi challenge (lol) you may like it more. Always a fan of the BLRO, in the flesh it certainly is incredibly sharp and beautiful!!

The BLRO looks great on you but be careful you don't lose it in that carpet on your arm.

Who knows if or when we'll see a Coke GMT but one thing we do know is that the BLRO is straight up beautiful!

Looks great. I would go for it. Enjoy now and if and when a different model that you want is introduced get it. But until then you get to wear a great watch.

Who knows. The BLRO is an awesome piece! I had a hard time deciding between the BLRO and WG Sub. I ended up going with the Sub

The BLRO is now. No way of knowing what the future will bring. I just picked on up this week. Great looking watch.

Buy it used and if the coke comes out, flip it. Personally, I could care less about the coke. I like the blue/red combo way more.

Well a CokeC in SS or plat will be over a year away until buyable at best so if you love the BLRO I'd get it now. Are you going to trade the YG?

Since really nobody knows if we'll ever see a coke, might as well go for the BLRO. All the rest is wishful thinking

2. Only Rolex knows. I think you would be wise to go with the Pepsi now and if the Coke happens...then you can figure out which one to keep. And as Neil said, it's going to be a least a year (or two) until that happens and is accessible, so...love the one you're with. |
