Much appreciated. I believe these photos do capture the true color, although I've heard the earlier BLROs might have slightly different shades.

How did you stop your watches at 31 seconds with the crowns screwed in?
Photoshop my friend. Occasionally I pull a watch from the bank or safe and manage to get it to run down where I want, but I find it easier to take as many shots as I want, and simply cut the crown out in post. It's a little time consuming but you definitely get a better selection of images.

Congratulations !!

I wonder if Rolex has re-done the manufacturing process for the BLRO bezel?
All of the owners of the 116719 embrace and love the way the bezel changes colors between blue and purple / red and cranberry.
But the owners of the 126710 say theirs doesn't change to these beautiful purple and cranberry colors. Most 126710 owners claim that the 116719 owners have a camera or eye issue or something like that.

If anybody has both it would be great to hear, or see in pictures, if the bezels are the same or if their different.

Nope... all the same. The colors shown in photographs depend entirely on lighting and white balance of the camera. Chadri knows how to use a camera.

Spectacular!
Those are the photographs of the month. Incredible colors displayed on each model, in several side by side images, I’m sure the first time seen for many of us.
Thanks.
