116619LB or 116719 BLRO or something else?

116619LB . I think it's more distinctive than the white gold GMT

kelvin619 · 16 December 2016, 07:09 PM

Or Meteorite dial daytona?

japenney · 16 December 2016, 07:17 PM

Even tho I owned the 116719 and sold it. I still think it is an amazing watch. A modern incarnation of the classic pepsi. I would choose GMT.

RMC12 · 16 December 2016, 07:50 PM

No wrong choice but I have the Smurf so voted for that. I did consider flipping it a year or so ago for the BLRO but once I tried on the GMT I know the Sub was my preferred choice.

rmlovett1 · 16 December 2016, 09:03 PM

Had the smurf, traded for the BLRO. Was very underwhelmed by the BLRO bezel colors. Lesson learned.

Smurf WILL be back

Hate that you learned the hard way. Go get the Smurf back!!!

Easy decision!

Glad to hear Richard!

RichM · 17 December 2016, 04:09 AM

Just to help with the decision.

Love the blro but I'm interested in what you had in mind for "something else"

Had 116509 meteorite dial in mind for something else

Vinyasa · 17 December 2016, 12:28 AM

Love both of these models, but voted for 'something else'. At that price point, I think I'd prefer a Patek 5711, 5712 or 5164.

1William · 16 December 2016, 09:32 PM

I voted for the BLRO. I have never owned it or the WG Sub and I would like to own both eventually.

brandrea · 16 December 2016, 09:53 PM

I vote 619. I think the glidelock makes for the perfect fit, and this would be most important to find a comfortable fit on a heavy watch.

HeartRolex · 16 December 2016, 10:03 PM

Blro

Racerdj · 16 December 2016, 10:09 PM

I would sure give the 116618LB a look before deciding.

travisb · 16 December 2016, 10:14 PM

No doubts for me - BLRO all day.

JapRs · 16 December 2016, 10:51 PM

Couldn't choose.....both!

thefatboy · 16 December 2016, 11:13 PM

I voted "Something Else" how about going pre-loved on a Smurf and then getting a five digit Pepsi with the saving?

That way you get the best of both worlds!

+1. Ideal solution.

RichM · 16 December 2016, 11:18 PM

For me it's Smurf over the BLRO, but not by much. Smurf (GlideLock) BLRO (GMT function). I find the subdued colors on both models a plus. Better suited for the WG. Those in the know know those two when they see them.

Really no wrong choice.

locutus49 · 16 December 2016, 11:20 PM

They are both great. I would go with the WG blue dial Sub, but would take the BLRO in a heartbeat, both watches are grail-worthy.

AK797 · 16 December 2016, 11:21 PM

BLRO in wg.

Vishy26 · 16 December 2016, 11:34 PM

116619LB for me.

JapRs · 17 December 2016, 12:15 AM

So you can compare...

locutus49 · 17 December 2016, 01:27 AM

Both nice but that blue dial is mesmerizing. I would lean toward the blue.
