Ceramic bezel colors on BLRO

[nworbled]

So back when I purchased my BLRO last month, I asked the salesperson at the AD about the variations in colors on the bezel (i.e., MKI, MKII, etc.). He told me that up until recently, there was only ONE person at Rolex who knew how to craft the bezel colors on the BLRO. Supposedly she was the one who figured out how to make the colors on the bezel the way they are. And she flat out refused to tell or show anybody else how to make the colors. (Talk about job security).

Until fairly recently (I think within the past year), did that lady finally take on an apprentice to show her the process as well. So the salesperson said there are now TWO ladies in all of Rolex who know the process and who do the work on making the ceramic bezel colors.

I have no reason to believe the salesperson was lying to me (in fact, I believe him). So if this information is true, that COULD be a reasonable explanation why some people think they detect a difference in bezel colors on the BLRO. Maybe the difference is one lady is making some bezels and the other lady is making some bezels--so there is a slight variation in colors.

Just a thought, but I figured I'd throw it out there for consumption and discussion. I personally do not really care so much about the variation in colors but I know it's been a much discussed topic before (perhaps ad nauseum...sorry if I'm beating a dead horse).
