I think it’s mainly just the lighting. I remember how dynamic my hulk bezel was. It was 25 different greens ranging from a light pastel to a dark green. The Pepsi is the same, and even more dynamic with two varying colors.

Ok thanks! Not sure why people have complained about the ceramic bezel, I saw the new gmt in person and I think the the bezel looks great, albeit a bit different compared to the old blue and red (I have an old 16700..)

I saw the 126710 in person, although the colors are not as rich as the 16710 it was still nice and looks better in person.

OP. This is a great thread. Thank you.

Ive looked at these colors a hundred different ways. Im starting to think Rolex is just genius all around. Ceramic bezels change in the light. That’s clearly something they needed to contend with.

Incredible that they got it as good as they did.

Completely agree. The BLRO's bezel colors are the most dynamic I've seen in a Rolex. This thread in my opinion proves it. It looks comparable in color to the older GMTs and to me I like that it looks purple pink or what ever other weird color it displays. Ultimately it's red and blue.

What I don't understand is the constant this is better than that. It seems there is a group of 16710 owners that just have to take a dig at the 126710 seemingly to justify there choice. Imo, they are all just options, what ever you have, it's cool.
I like the SubC....I think to me it's a better watch than the older generation, I just prefer it. But I saw a coworker with 16610 form the 80's and I was very excited to see it and appreciated coming in contact with it in the wild. All Rolex are cool.

Pick the one you want, enjoy.
