126710 BLRO GMT Master II Pepsi - color

[hthcliff]

Hi fellow addicts,

apparently market has not yet realized that the first BLRO batch has been delivered in different red blue. They are traded at around the same price. Any predictions? Attached a March 2019 (right) delivery vs August 2018 (left) delivery.

Best

Which is 2018 and which is 2019?

left August 2018, right March 2019

I think folks here and around were thinking that it was just a rumor or a light play but there is an obvious difference in the bezel colors. I believe it is called "MK II" bezel.

2019 is darker.
Some last quarter of 2018 were as well.
Been discussed on several threads.

Picture proof here, but people will still probably deny it.

[hthcliff]

true but this makes the MK1 quite rare, being only produced for several months and not available anymore. => why is this not being reflected yet in the market price?

The March 19 is a more pleasing colour to my eye.

mk1 bezel colors look a bit like faded aluminum Pepsi bezels

It's been discussed ad nauseam before in a previous thread. Take a look at the thread below - plenty of photos and side-by-side comparisons.

I am likely in the minority here -- still waiting for one and prefer the "MK I" over the "MK II" bezel.

By predictions, you are asking which blue color will be there for the long haul? I prefer the brighter one, since if I want a more subdued color, one would go with the Batman or original LN.

June 2018 delivered piece. Looks more like the one on the right.

Exactly.

Of course none of this matters because no one’s going to get any anyway.

[TakeYourTime]

Thank you for this! The MK2 insert looks so much better. The colors are darker and deeper.

I just got a MK2 SS Pepsi and this info made my day!!!

[brucethemanlee]

I have mk2

But wouldn't haveattered to me mk1 or mk2 because I wouldn't have turned down either

I like the pink and purple

Where is the red?

[Oat Willy]

People claim there are different greens on the Hulk too, but there are not

[scrappy]

Any clues why my June delivery piece has the Mk 2 bezel?

Right!

[thesharkfactor]

This is such a great looking watch. I really hope my call comes through this year!

[Seaborn]

I'd take either

[henrylee]

The MKI bezel will be similar to the Fushia bezels/watches. Not cool now but be more interesting in the future.

[Rafabond]

you are without photographs of mine, bought in July 2018, from the first ones, depending on the light the tone varies

+1

[GMT Fan]

I bought my BRLO new from Ben Bridge in October 2018. Would that be a MK1 or a MK 2??

[DoctorA]

If there truly are two versions then I certainly like MKI and am very fortunate to be one of the very few who got the earlier bezel!
