Incoming- BLRO

Got the call. It’s beautiful. First impression— the MK1 vs MK2 thing is absolutely real.. mine is MK2 and its colors are even darker in person than what I have been seeing here in photos... not even a hint of the pastel hues of the MK1...

Excellent shots! I agree, it does look darker than some of the other BLROs on the forums.

I’m glad to see they “fixed” the colors on the bezel. To be honest, I would have no interest whatsoever in the MK1 version - it (basically) looks terrible.

The new MK2 looks great!
