116719 BLRO Blue Dial

Was lucky to get a swap early this year, still kept the black one though.
Its really a great color and very difficult to get perfect on pictures , so much greater in real life.

I was wundering though , what would the blue dial sell for if i would part with it again ?

Found only one for sale , 3000 euro.

My BLRO in SS has black dial, but in some lights looks blue

Blue dial is nothing special, can be bought from RSC for €400ish.

But they would not sell to everyone, is that correct? Only to BLRO WG owners, that also just a swap.

Is it just me, or does that blue dial clash with the colours of the bezel? I prefer the black.

I love a blue dial, but not sure it makes sense with a Pepsi. Bezel is blue/red ying/yang balanced. Blue dial throws off the harmony.

Your black dial looks more blue than OP’s actual blue one!

116719 BLRO Blue Dial

I tried one on today, WG with blue dial, and the blue is really discrete looks black in most angles and on distance but it gives the wearer a warm feeling. Think I like it more than the WG Daytona blue dial (but Daytona case fit better than any other Rolex). AD asked my not to put pictures on internet for some reason.

I don’t understand your AD, unless he’s getting you models ahead of others on the list or those promised that model. That would create blowback on them, or just don’t attribute it to any AD.

No they were not offering that one to me since it was sold, owner had kindly agreed to show it to others.

Sounds like a fair price and what a normal person would pay for one, I'd ignore crazy grey asks.

Rolex parts are generally priced pretty well. Dials, bezels, casebacks, movement parts, all have a fair price.
Same goes for tools, the 3200 springbar remover is like 20CHF, 2100 SD screwdriver, 16CHF, but they go for insane prices on the market. It is a weird world



-To anyone who might want to give it a shot: no I will not sell you a damn thing
