Congratulations Beautiful watch , In your comparison picture the colors appear deeper and richer when compared to your original picture . More like the MK 3 version . was your original pic overexposed?

Thanks, the original photo was shot in direct sunlight as a Camera RAW image, converted to JPG, and then resized in order to fit on The Forum.

When the photo software "Fixes" one thing, it generally distorts something else. In this case, maybe the color is not true.

Here's the way an iPhone sees it.

Wow! Congratulations on your great looking Pepsi BLRO. I've yet to actually see one first hand, so l find these discussions on color variations amusing and probably just an effect of the light. Wear it in good health. Cheers!
