So I walked into Rolex of Beverly Hills
So I walked into Rolex of Beverly Hills and tried on a few watches that have been hot in the discussions lately. The first was the infamous BLNR, I have to say this watch has grown on me. I've never considered myself a guy that has been into the color blue, but this watch just exudes cool and now I'm really warming up to the color. So the whole time I kept thinking this GMT is nice but I wonder if they have a Pepsi. Well, before I asked the salesman said that I should take a look at the white gold option. What watch-guy can say no to that offer? He went to the back room and came back with a brand new 116719 BLRO! I couldn't try this watch on fast enough. First impressions the weight, this seemed at least 30% heavier than my 216570. Such a solid work of art, the bezel was hypnotizing, the combination of the red and blue was so fun. If you know someone that thinks Rolex is bland have them take a look at this watch. It was simply incredible!

I'm a noob with Rolex, so pardon my ignorance. But what does BLNR stand for?

Those darn Swiss like French names... BL = Bleu which in English is blue RO = Rouge which in English is red NR = Noir which in English is black (like Film Noir). Why can't they speak American like the rest of the world does?

Nice watch for sure. No going wrong with that combo.
I assume the Rolex store you are referring to is Geary's on Rodeo. They also sell Patek Philippe watches through the walkthrough on the left. They have a private room to show pieces and the champagne is plentiful. Not sure about Pepsi though. ;-) |

I have been dreaming of this watch lately, really drive me crazy. I think I will get it soon, looking for a good deal now.
As you can see I just got my 116613, but not going to flip it tho for Blro. I might just have two daily wear watches.
