The WG BLRO wouldn’t be my choice of PM watch. It’s just too similar to the SS version to justify IMO. Yes WG has a slightly different tone and a warmth about it compared to SS, but that’s not enough IMO. Plus I definitely wouldn’t go for the blue dial version as it doesn’t match the blue on the bezel enough for my liking.

For that sort of money I’d prefer the full RG CHNR.

It’s very special to wear whichever your preference of dial colour is. Kinda like you have something else no one knows about, especially the black dial :)

As much as I like the blue dial version, at end of the day I agree with this ^ regarding the dial. How they got it right on the sub, but not here is confusing and a mistake on a $40k piece.

Gold is meant to be yellow. Why waste money on WG when it looks like SS and then gotta pay gold prices even tho is mixed with a bunch of other alloys.

I used to feel that way but the deeper I have gone down the WIS hole (that sounds bad) the more I appreciate WG. The weight, the IYKYK aspect and it says you don’t need to let others know. It’s next level.

WG.
It needs to be on your wrist, you'll then know the difference.
