Finally seen it in the Flesh BLRO!
Local grey dealer nearby got one in last night ive been dying to see one in the flesh so rushed over to check it out
The blue has definitely got a purpleish tint to it but didnt bother me Absolutely confirmed to me that this is a watch I must have. Will have to wait as I wont pay the high price tag at this gray though Sent from my LG-H870DS using Tapatalk |

I bet that when they manage to fix the colors of the BLRO bezel, this version here will in the future be valuable because of the colors. Like those old red subs etc...

Looks good. I have not seen one in the flesh yet but it could be added to the want list down the road when the prices adjust back closer to msrp.

I still feel they ruined it for the WG pepsi owners
a different bracelet and a slight dial change doesn't do it for me anymore |

They sure did, and so many people are in freaking love with this horrid messed up colored bezel Rolex. Like myself, I would love to own it. People are so convinced that it's screwed up that the street value is double just to keep it out of reach of frightening children by accident.
I here the Apple watch has a black that is black, bet that's cool. |

What WOULD they be fetching!!! The market would have been even hotter, and for a lot longer too. |

I was in the same boat over the weekend. Went to a AD and they just received their first shipment. Gone before I had a chance to pull out my wallet but got to try it on. Very nice piece but not going to pay over MSRP for it.

Indeed street price will rise if they change the color ! Imagine they issue a new one within the next year boom collectible worth $$$$
Which all about Rolex market makes me a bit sick - though a true admirer / lover of the Brand ... anyway to all owners kudos and wear them well |

How does it wear compared to a GMT on the oyster bracelet?

Also the colours are not as bad as most think. Artificial light does something nasty to the blue and indeed turn it 'blurple' sometimes. In the flesh in natural light looks great IMO. |
