I don’t own it but there’s a meteorite DayDate at a local AD. It’s not any worse than a DJ with gold dial/ gold hands/ gold indexes/ gold fluted bezel.

Sorry, I thought we were only talking about the 126719BLRO and not other models.

Do you own the white gold as well? Wondering what you prefer about the steel version?

BNA/LION · 9 January 2020, 04:21 PM

Nice for sure...

I think a white dial would be killer on the Pepsi, Red, White and Blue!

BigBoy17 · 9 January 2020, 06:09 PM

Def a cool watch

dogpawss · 9 January 2020, 07:28 PM

OP’s picture is 116719, not 126719. Mine says hi!

HL65 · 9 January 2020, 08:01 PM

One of my favorites!

jpcwon · 9 January 2020, 08:05 PM

Yeah the blue dial Pepsi is amazing. I love blue dials anyway, and on this reference it just works so well.

I like the blue dial.

Cru Jones · 9 January 2020, 09:59 PM

Just waiting for the SS version.... ;-)

travisb · 9 January 2020, 09:59 PM

Prefer the black dial but the blue is a good look.

Jimihendrix · 10 January 2020, 12:09 AM

i agree with you, blue dial and oyster bracelet just make it perfect

latchford9 · 10 January 2020, 12:56 AM

the newer version is a much darker blue now along with a darker blue and red bezel.

tkdgod · 10 January 2020, 02:05 AM

I’m working to hopefully purchase one this year. WG blue face is unbelievable.

T01 · 10 January 2020, 02:33 AM

Very nice.

I do not own the WG. Nothing against the watch, I like Steel Professional models more than PM, for the classicism, heritage and purposefulness.

With the new Pepsi the black dial, on either model, looks better to my eye but I understand the appeal of the blue dial’s exclusivity.

lee fowler · 10 January 2020, 04:10 AM

I also prefer the Black dial version as well.

ancientmariner · 10 January 2020, 04:43 AM

With you on this OP.
If I could only have one watch, this would be it.

One day........

MrMercedes · 10 January 2020, 04:51 AM

So great...love it!

Majorthombe · 14 January 2020, 06:15 AM

116719 with blue dial have higher premium than even msrp. Why?

I think Dr. Bob posted that Rolex was offering to swap dials on the black dial version for a blue dial if an owner was so inclined. Just FYI, though I don't own the reference myself, so perhaps some others can add...

Looks great though for sure

nr1416 · 14 January 2020, 06:54 AM

I don't think anyone can argue with that. Gorgeous piece

Yes, that's my favorite Rolex. But at $50k street prices there are some tough decisions to be made vs Trinity + ALS options.

wilsonpepper · 14 January 2020, 08:02 AM

I wonder if you can retrofit BLRO black face with this blue one..??

wilsonpepper · 14 January 2020, 08:03 AM

That is, retrofit the SS GMT face, with the white gold GMT face?

supersam80 · 14 January 2020, 08:15 AM

I didn't think much of this one from renderings, but in photos and in person it's absolutely stunning

smym18 · 14 January 2020, 09:51 AM

I think the blue looks so much better than the black with that bezel.
