BLRO - red white and blue gets me every time.

BLNR blue is mesmerizing.

The poll was meant to focus on which bezel color people prefer rather than which specific GMT model people prefer.
It's not the same bezel, regular SS is black and silver, this is black and gold. That's why I posted the picture to show.

BLNR for me (and it's the version I own). For me, the bezel is executed perfectly in terms of colours, and it's the most versatile of the bi-colour bezels IMO.

Plus I also like the fact it was the first bi-colour ceramic bezel that Rolex ever made.

The LN (all black) is by far the best and most versatile for an everyday watch.

I get very tired of the colored bezels fast, except for the 16710 which is classic.

CHNR TT is my favorite GMT in the Rolex lineup. Beautiful watch. Second would be BLNR.

Same here. It was a glossy page in a Sunday paper supplement taken by my local AD which made me love it.

After looking at the Rolex site and playing with the configuration of GMT and Sub models it was still the one.

Obviously since purchase in 2017 more options have become available, but I think I’d still be drawn to BLNR on Oyster from today’s line up in GMT.

I do love them all though, and if I had the means I’d probably want one of each bezel colour available.

Currently helping a friend establish a relationship with the AD and he has his heart set on BLRO. They’ve given him an estimate of Q4 this year for his, and when it lands it will likely be the first SS BLRO I’ll have seen up close, having seen the WG in their case (some time ago by the way, they’re all the usual current suspects these days). Maybe on seeing his when it arrives, will fancy adding.

BLNR (Batman) first then LN (all Black Ceramic GMT) as a distant second.
Thankfully (because of demand) I'm not at all interested in BLRO (Pepsi) or CHNR (Rootbeer).
