I’ve heard the same rumor...only one person at Rolex knows how to make the bezels and is training another. This came from an SA at Tourneau in KOP.

Some of the pictures don’t even look blue. They look purple and not red

Really happy with the colors on this 2016 WG Pepsi.



I don’t detect any of the purple I occasionally noticed with my previous 2018 SS Pepsi.

If we can talk about them in that way, my favourite so far would be MK2 than MK1 and far beyond that the current coke MK3.

I would need to see the result in the flesh but just like the new BLNR, I would pass on the dark BLRO bezel.

Initial BLRO on the WG and the early 126710 were not much to my liking. Once they changed to darker color, I applied for one. Very pleased with current colors !

I agree with Nairn1980.

At first I was searching for a 116710BLNR, but finally got the 126710 and it's just really beautiful, once you put it on it starts to grow on you day by bay.
I put my Oyster 97200 (Glidelock) on it for a few days but quickly put the Jubilee back on.

On the BLRO, however, I prefer the PCL Oyster, and to stay on topic, the Mark II bezel

The BLRO is splendid. If one likes a brighter bezel though there’s also the revised HD 16710 otherwise know as the Tudor BB GMT. And if one likes a coke.....well I’m betting that so long as a BLNR exist, coke won’t, so.....

This looks perfect. I think they finally have it dialed in.
