This has to go both ways - you can't vilify me for one post yet allow other TRF members to post with impunity, almost daily, and in an incredibly condescending and judgmental manner, when they don't like or agree with something - nickname's, MK differentiation, watches being out of spec given xxx thousand seconds in a day, not using your watch as a tool, yada yada yada.




See previous comment.

If you use a spectrophotometer there are probably more differences to be found. So Mk1, 2, 3, 4, 5 …

Horrible take, LOL

The bezel has really never been perfect. Rolex really willed this into production initially and there were some obvious color issues on the earliest bezels. Around 2020 Rolex seemed to have modified their process making the blue and red more "true" to the traditional aluminum Pepsi bezel, but even then it's not perfect.

I had a BLRO from 2021 that looked pretty damn good color-wise, but it was never perfect and depending on the light could vary significantly.

I don't completely agree with Padi in the sense that there clearly are differences among the bezels from 2018 to current, but I also recognize that this appears to be an ongoing process as the production gets better and better.

It seems, anecdotally, that Rolex is producing less BLROs and my hypothesis really comes down to the difficulty in getting the colors "just right" as they currently are (albeit still not perfect). For all intents and purposes, the BLRO looks great as is currently, but there's been plenty written about how they are differently from the other biceramic bezels produced by Rolex and that they appear to be more fragile.

I always liked my BLRO, but found myself wearing it far less than I wear the BLNR now.

so far MK2 looks the best in the picture
