Incoming .......

First off, I’m glad I turned down the BLNR to wait for the BLRO.
I picked it up yesterday and absolutely love it— just the right about of ‘bling’.

I read and commented on Chadriv’s thread about the MK1, MK2, and what looks to be a MK3 bezel with the current batch of BLRO’s.

I can definitely see the differences in bezel colors but will say I really like the way this version looks. The blue is dark— more of a navy color with a purplish hue in certain light, but it blends perfect with the red..... at least IMHO.
I’ll also say that if it was the same blue as the BLNR, I don’t think it would ‘fit’.

I can’t tell from the new pics if this is lighter or darker than the mk2. Still looks good

Great restraint on the BLNR. BLRO blows it out of the water IMO! Blows my sub out of water as well along with nearly all SS watches. Many congrats!! Enjoy!
