Video of two 126710 BLROs in hand....

There is no denying a color variance between the two watches.

Mark 1 (left) was purchased in August 2018 and Mark 2 (right) was purchased in September 2018.

Well there it is in black and white, or blue and red, or pink and purple.....

Either way at least we have some solid proof. I really think the first batch was the old WG inserts because they had some left over.

Thx for the share!

Thanks for sharing. It’s interesting to see them side by side. Will also be interesting to see how it all plays out on the secondary market etc.

Well done, thanks.

Great comparison, let’s see what doubters have to say now

I’m counting on seeing a “it’s a batch error, Rolex mixed the wrong color, it’s just a random variation” or a “who cares”

Air Rescue 5 · 2 February 2019, 11:07 AM

That’s the most convincing evidence I’ve seen so far.

Watch This · 2 February 2019, 11:17 AM

If I had been one of the "lucky" few to pay top dollar to get the lighter version I would be pissed. I would demand an insert change. No doubt they used leftover ones from the WG model. The darker tones look far better IMHO.

1665fan · 2 February 2019, 11:19 AM

It was clear and obvious on the 10 page post before this there is 2 different bezels....if you didn’t think so one might need new contacts or halfway color blind....i prefer mark1 btw

Well, it seems like 9.5 pages were back and forth debate over light, photo editing, and conspiracy theory. I also didn’t see any videos posted- thought this might help clear up some of the doubt.

Bless you for sharing

Fleegle · 2 February 2019, 11:29 AM

Mine purchased early September 18. From OP’s video, I say it’s a mk2.
Mk1 looks better to me. But I’m not bothered either way.

Yea they were the haters....or color blind lol

10klakes · 2 February 2019, 11:33 AM

Here is a pic of them side by side with no filters and in the same lighting.... they are pretty close until you really light them up or get close.

Great job OP. Thanks!!

stylinleems · 2 February 2019, 11:59 AM

Thanks for sharing. Mine is definitely the newer, darker shade.

Roger Lococco · 2 February 2019, 12:02 PM

I’m not sure which I have. But I prefer the lighter one.

That would suggest that we should start seeing a Mk 2 for the WG version.

Damn thing made me dizzy.

Pius XIII · 2 February 2019, 12:32 PM

At least this explains why the bezel colors were so much darker when the initial promotional materials came out last year. They just needed to use up the remainder of the white gold bezels.

Juantxo · 2 February 2019, 12:34 PM

I don’t much care for either one.

bradyb · 2 February 2019, 12:36 PM

I heard that the crowns on the lighter bezels generally line up perfectly, while watches with the darker bezel never do.

mlb356 · 2 February 2019, 01:22 PM

This is definitive proof - great post!

RJRJRJ · 2 February 2019, 01:29 PM

The only way to convince they naysayers will be to show them side by side, and then swap their positions and keep showing them. Otherwise they'll keep saying it's the lighting.

I can see it now...
"the mk1 is more rare so it will be worth more"
"The mk2 has the correct red/blue shade therefore it is worth more"
