My AD came through again. I’m a reasonable buyer and I can’t really say why I was able to get this so fast but so be it! Great addition to my BLRO!

Hi sagla. Gotta say I think I like the BLNR a tad better. The Cerachrome transitions better from blue to black, the blue is richer and the colors look more ceramic and less plastic if that makes sense. Having said that, I would be hard pressed to decide which one would have to go if i were put in that position.

Looks great on you, I actually prefer the BLNR over the BLRO.

Wowsers! What a combo — congratulations!

I was fortunate to be offered one too. Without question, I prefer the blue & black over the blue & red. I mean no disrespect to fans of the Pepsi, but I just find the BLNR more attractive.

I am sure there will be a very large contingency that will always pick the Pepsi for nostalgia reasons. But for straight up beauty, the BLNR is my favorite Rolex (with exception to the blue dialed Skydweller).

Mine says hello!
