After noticing that half the threads on TRF are about about Rolex waitlists, AD rumors and overall negativity, I thought id start a thread to show my love for this beautiful piece.

Best watch ever made. A true icon.

I am also on the waitlist for a bunch of new Rolexes but i kind of have given up on ever getting another one despite decent purchase history of 31mm lady DJ with diamonds, full gold CHNR and Explorer 1 when they trading below retail in 2019. The BLRO is the only hot model i got and that was almost 2 years ago…

I have moved on from Rolex mentally and i just enjoy what i have.

Yes, it is awesome. Been waiting for so long at ADs and will go grey.

RolexSimon · 8 October 2021, 06:18 PM

Love it too.

Yep, i dont know which bezel version i have but the blue is very dark, almost black in most lighting conditions. The red is spot on though.

Enjoy, looks great on you!

I've been waiting 18 months for this piece and I really hope I get it soon

Pw92676 · 8 October 2021, 08:24 PM

Agree with your sentiments and thanks for sharing this.

The BLRO looks so nice on you and everyone else who posts. When I tried it on it just didn’t look nearly as good. Something about the colors and the bezel font wasn’t quite right to me. I passed at retail as I knew the next person in line and he really wanted it. But now I am saying d’oh as i maybe I should have given it another chance.

tudk · 8 October 2021, 08:27 PM

The BRLO on jubilee is at the top of my list with my AD

It’s the best looking watch

Patton250 · 8 October 2021, 08:46 PM

One of my favorites.

1William · 8 October 2021, 08:51 PM

Great watch. The colors are very nice and the Jubilee Bracelet really makes it pop. I might wear mine today.

Andad · 8 October 2021, 09:10 PM

I like my 16710M.

rambo99 · 8 October 2021, 09:54 PM

i like pepsi!

B2 Stealth · 8 October 2021, 10:02 PM

My all-time favorite Rolex model! Thanks for sharing! When I acquired mine my Rolex collection was complete. I may purchase more but none will ever compare to my beloved BLRO!

Mystro · 8 October 2021, 10:03 PM

It’s a rockstar.

nan7yo · 8 October 2021, 10:05 PM

Look la good on you, wear in good health!

I feel the same way. My mental stop point was also the arrival of my BLRO, mine being on Oyster. I've got some beautiful watches, including Rolex, but there's something about this one which sets it apart.

Beto737 · 9 October 2021, 02:29 AM

Pound for pound the best piece Rolex currently makes in “my opinion.” The fantastic aviation history that goes along along with it doesn’t hurt.

I have acquired every Rolex model I wanted and my Pepsi was probably my last as well. I just dont see the Rolex market slowing down anytime soon or ever going back to the way it was 4 years ago.

It's a beauty, for sure.

Never a bad idea to include "probably" in a sentence like that :)

A side effect of all the hype is that having waited for my AD to come though and paid MSRP for it, I feel like I've really achieved something. I'd rather have walked in and bought it with a discount, but I love it just the same.
