Pepsi or Batman
I've never had an opportunities to see these timepieces in person. Out of these two GMT, which one do you like better? (I know some people will say Batman kr Batgirl but that's not the point here! Haha)
BLRO vs BLNR? |

I have both and I like my blro better, but I think it just boils down to personal preference on the colors of the bezels. I also find the jubilee more comfortable, but don’t like the look of the jubilee on the blnr. Maybe that’s why I lean blro.

Batman for me unless we are talking WG Pepsi with blue dial or the meteorite dial. Two colors between the bezel and dial is enough for me - plus the vibrant blue of the Batman seems more interesting than the rather plain red and blue of the Pepsi. That said I do understand and appreciate the history of the BLRO and both are beautiful.

Pepsi or Batman
 Actually they are both great get either or both. Blnr has an edge for me because I had the earlier one and has to trade it to get a classic 16710. Had a chance to get another new one before market jumped but passed. Then had a chance to buy back my original blnr and passed. Then had a surprise call to purchase the batgirl and this time jumped for it! |

If it's a choice between the two, for me it would be the Pepsi. The blue and red bezel colors were the first with the ref 6542 and has always been the preferred color combination for military and commercial pilots all over the world.

It's one of the most shallow watch questions you can ask. Do you like blue, do you like red, do you like hype, do you like what others like? Do you like green eggs and ham?

BLNR for me. I never liked Pepsi that much, not even in 16710. Too many colors. Even my 16710 I wear it coke although I got all 3 bezels. The blue black combination is amazing, it has some first ones for rolex and I like a lot that I can swap bracelets with my 114060 to be less shiny.

I have both with zero preference. If i had a preference I’d sell the other. They rotate on my wrist on opposite ends of my collection, so they’re never worn back to back.

I have the feeling most here might not know what BLNR means or BLRO. ��

Had both, now only have the BLRO. That should make my preference clear.

I have both and like the look of the blro best…. That said my blnr is the better watch with the old movement. It’s far smoother to wind and keeps better time. Hell the crown even lines up perfectly when tightened down

I own both and if I had to choose it would be the BLRO. The colors pop a little better for me.
