Got the call - 116719 BLRO - Blue dial
Been waiting for this one since Basel 2018 and it finally came in. Blue dial is very subtle.

Tried this on the other day, gorgeous in the metal. Wasn't sure how I'd like it from pics but it works so well.

Congrats! Looks much better than the stock photos. It's usually the other way around! Nice enough to make OG BLRO owners really consider swapping the dial.

Saw one in a case the other day, you can't even tell the dial is blue from far away, but up close it looks great.

It looks fantastic, i said a while back that Rolex should have done this when they first introduced it.
If i owned the black dial i would have it changed in a heartbeat.

I know... But being a 2018 Basel release and in this crazy market, yon never know what the dealer would ask for and people are willing to pay
