Just love the look of all black bezel


I do love it too. Especially when the lighting makes the bezel looks a smokey gray color and the dial/hands pop.

My only complaint is it can be hard to see the green hand a lot of the time.

I’ve liked the WG Pepsi in person but never seen one outside of AD for “normal” lighting and wear. My bigger concern is how I’ll like the jubilee with it

And option F 2.0

Buy a Tudor Black Bay - keep your current collection and get some color. You can move forward with this and it will probably cost you less than adding a BLNR/pepsi. I read that you only want three watches in your collection, but isn't a good alternative to add a fourth watch that will suit your needs, yet still at a lower cost than your other options?

Your 116710 is in my opinion one of the best modern sport Rolex out there and as a bonus to it all - all your Rolex works great on playful nato straps.




Have a nice weekend


You do make a lot of sense here, and a limiting to three is just artificial. I may end up keeping current 3 if I love the Pepsi or something else.

I owned the BB ETA (also in black) but found bracelet super pinchy. I did like it on the fabric strap though. Ended up trading it toward the 14060m. Something about their GMT just doesn’t click for me...maybe once I see it in person

I don't love the BLNR, so I chose B. But if you love the BLNR, then C!

Largely down to personal taste. Bucking the trend, I vote (A) as I actually prefer the LN over the BLNR. The Green-Hand just says Rolex more than anything.

The blue hand is equally hard to see in the same lighting. Train yourself to look for the triangle instead. Wait for the BLRO.

Opt. B Is where you will probably end up, whether you like it or not. If you choose any other option it will just eat at you.

Am I right?

I would never sell the 14060. Especially if it's a 2 liner. That is a classic and the last of that style Sub.

And mine’s a D serial, so one of the last 2 liners. I’m a big fan.
