Incoming, and the blue is better for sure...

So, ad calls and I have the chance to grab a blro, I was put on "the list" 2 years ago. Took me half a second to decide. Just arrived today and I can definitely confirm the blue and red are now better than the first batch, my opinion of course. Need to move a couple less worn pieces if I intend on keeping this one but as of now it looks to be a keeper. I'll throw some better pics up later.

I seriously can’t tell a difference.

But it looks awesome.

Congrats.

It's tough to tell in a picture, but I can assure you it is quite different than the first one I had in my hand. Thanks!

The people who really can’t tell a difference, even with side-by-side pics, could very well have a color vision deficiency...pretty common among males.

Anyways, great looking watch and congrats on your patience being rewarded

While my favorite “blue” is this blue, I do (very much) love the Pepsi too! Congrats
