It's actually more blue and red, but BLRO does have some purple hue elements in particular lighting/picture situations and depending on your particular bezel batch.

Just submitted the poll, go vote! I went with BLNR. Never thought I would over the 124060, but can’t take it off!

I voted 126710BLRO because that's what I've chosen as my daily wear and it's superb....but I've been thinking about adding another recently.

that’s what my initial thought was but admittedly I’m now all over the place!

I bounce between the 124060, 126610lv and re-adding the 126600. Of course I can’t get any at retail and the markup is the least on the SD43 so maybe that’s natures way of bringing it back to me!

That’s fantastic

I bought mine back from @jets a month or two ago … had the same issues that you did, but in the end my heart won out over my brain

I can totally understand how's it been since you added it back? I go back and forth on whether I want to have both my watches be 40/41mm or if it's worth having the big difference in size and heft between the SD43/GMT. The 124060 is perfection I think, they really nailed it when it comes to the case profile.

I prefer the 5 digits of each of the references, but if it has to be one of these I choose 126610LV.

That's a really tough call. I vacillate between saying the Sub and the BLRO.

Both are iconic references. On one hand I love having the date function and the dual time. The comfort is also next level ...

On the other, the Sub is well its the Sub and the reference that got me into the hobby all those years ago ...

Today I'll say Submariner, tomorrow it might be BLRO

Totally for fun! Love what I got, can’t imagine ever letting one of them go. Want to add the LV and one of the Daytonas at some point, but enjoying what I have now.

I recently got the LV, got the white dial 500 Daytona in 2017 so I’m like you in that I don’t want to let anything I have go. I also am enjoying what I have and not sure I care anymore about getting any others?!

Great pics, but until I get the call they are "triggering" me.

I know it's not on the list but its the Hulk out of all of these for me. The sunburst dial looks mesmerizing in the light. I think the Daytona white dial would give it good competition if it wasn't so small relative to the rest on the list.

BLRO, only because there’s no LV on the menu. :)

BLRO will hopefully be my next big (to me) acquisition.
