BLNR Colour Variation

I’ve had this watch 3 years now and I’m always amazed how the colour changes with the lighting conditions. This first photo is one of my favourite looks of this watch.

Haven’t worn mine in a while but know exactly what you mean. That blue makes the watch. Throw in different lighting and you’re spoilt for viewing pleasure!

Yes one of the attractions of this watch for me is the different shades of blue. Never a dull moment with a BLNR.

Sometimes it shines bright and other times it blends in with the black. One of the reasons I love mine!

Yes! The watch looks great in different lighting conditions. The blue pops in bright lights but is dark and subtle in low light conditions. Makes the watch very versatile IMHO

I have a very difficult time believing Rolex will discontinue this watch. I can see them updating the movement but there’s no way they’d stop selling a watch that’s this successful and this beautiful.
