Excellent photo!

If I was looking for a GMT I'd definitely be after a BLNR "Batman". I like it a lot. Never been a real fan of the Pepsi...

Turbo Racer · 17 June 2022, 03:30 AM

Beautiful watch. I prefer it to the new Pepsi. Congrats!

Me4u2night · 17 June 2022, 03:31 AM

When I purchased my first Rolex in 2019, not knowing anything about the brand or the hype, I gravitated towards the Pepsi via photos on Rolex’s website. But when I saw both the BLRO and BLNR in person, I ended up buying the BLNR. 3 years later I own both but still love my BLNR.

Compare these lifeless, expressionless colors from Omega with those from Rolex. The difference is all too visible.

brandrea · 17 June 2022, 06:49 AM

Nice duo

SavGADawg · 17 June 2022, 06:55 AM

I'm in the minority, but I prefer the coke bezel!

Draper144 · 17 June 2022, 07:24 AM

Had the batgirl and honestly felt like any other SS watch. Sold it for more than double retail and never turned back

Batman for me .. or should it be Batperson ? :)

Vesper Lynd · 25 June 2022, 02:33 AM

Very nice.

ThePalletFork · 25 June 2022, 02:36 AM

If I had to choose, definitely Pepsi.

Subs are usually in a collection, and the batman on oyster doesn't add much variety in that case. I would take the Batman on jubilee>Oyster for this reason, but would take the Pepsi overall.

Roddypeepa · 25 June 2022, 03:18 AM

Let’s face it can lose. I’d love to own BLNR, RO or CHNR. they’re all absolute stunners.

I know that Pepsi is beautiful and looks especially good in the pictures thanks to the multi-colored bezel, but I feel best with my Batman on my arm. I don't know how to explain it, but he's kind of a part of me, a piece of my skin.

Vintyage · 31 July 2022, 06:20 PM

I wore mine on the 4th of July

... It's built like an American watch.

cm13 · 1 August 2022, 01:35 AM

I'm biased as I love my BLNR, but I also can admit, there is something special about the addition of red on the BLRO.

Saying that, the lack of true red or true blue on the BLRO always makes me want to go vintage if it's a Pepsi.

If the new BLRO was true blue/red, I think I'd change my mind.

mykii · 1 August 2022, 02:10 AM

As a long-term watch collector, the Pepsi is the "original" color way. However, having owned a BLRO, Rolex simply hasn't got the colors right and as much as I loved mine, it just isn't aging well. It's already evident.

I unsuspectingly got a BLNR and I have to say, I'm enjoying it much, much, more than my BLRO.

While the BLRO may be the original GMT color way, nobody talks about the fact that the BLNR is basically one of the few true modern classics that Rolex has put out.

Onequik135i · 1 August 2022, 02:17 AM

BLRO is a nice addition to add to a BLNR IMO, but given the choice of either it would have to be the BLNR. It just flies under the radar and less bling.

Ksbi · 1 August 2022, 02:20 AM

Looks stunning!

Yes, between the two I agree... The blue on black contrast is the way to go on a Rolex sport dial...

It's why I picked this for my Submariner...

Agreed. The Pepsi is very nice but this one is a little less garish.
