Have you seen a 126710BLRO in the wild?
I was responding on another thread and it got me thinking, so I figured I post a poll, more for entertainment purposes and getting a general feel of what it looks like out there. I understand this poll isn't exactly "scientific."
how many 126710BLRO's have you seen in the wild on someone else's wrist and in what areas of the world? |

I was just thinking about this yesterday. The Pepsi carries SO much hype but I have never seen a single one. Guess there are a lot of Pepsi safe queens out there waiting for that discontinuation?!

Depends on where I am in the world, but in general, very infrequently.

One. The owner noticed my 16600. I offered a trade… didn’t happen.

I rarely see them around town (affluent neighborhood), though I see plenty when I travel to Vegas for business. Seems everyone wants to show off in Sin City.

Haven’t really kept count but I’ve seen a “few” besides my own in public. Usually at an event where you’d expect to see Rolex wearers, MotoGP and Rolling Stones concert to name a couple.
Also I’d say Las Vegas and to a lesser extent New York. Both have lots of wealthy residents and tourists who like to show their watches. |

most are seen at airports for me funnily enough, imagine people feel good wearing high end watches when travelling ..

Have seen a couple 5 digit Pepsi’s in the wild but no modern BLRO’s yet.
The one and only time I’ve been to JFK (and on an extended layover) I saw all kinds of crazy pieces… -full YG Yachtmaster 2 -AP Royal oak jumbo -frosted gold AP royal oak -RG Aquanaut on brown strap -SS Aquanaut on black strap - SS Nautilus -two different 5 digit Pepsi references Then the cocktails from the airport bar kicked in and I stopped paying attention lol.

Tons of BLNRs, many CHNRs, but not many BLROs. Personally don't wear my BLRO much anymore due to comments.

I think there are plenty out there but expect most keep them hidden. My experience is that by far, the most Rolex watches to be seen are 1) airports, particularly business lounges, 2) the office environment; and 3) certain geographic locations like Hong Kong/ Dubai.
Maybe that’s my lifestyle & the people I mix with but I’d guess that the one thing these locations have in common is people feel safe… |

If a GTG counts as in the wild, then yes. Once.
