Batman forever!

[Driver8]

No surprises since I own a BLNR (and turned down a BLRO from my AD) that the BLNR is my pick by a mile and then some. Yes the BLRO has all the history - and I REALLY wanted one until I "got the call" and tried it on - but that bezel is just not as well executed IMHO.

For me, the 5 digit is the way to go for the BLRO, while the BLNR is the only way in the 6 digit.

I love the true red and blue of the 5-digit Pepsi, the iconic GMT; however, the ceramic BLRO has always seemed off to me. I see hues of purple and pink, and I don't think I could ever love that.

In the end, it all worked out for me as this was the reference I requested and received from the wonderful owner at my AD. But whichever version you have, ALL GMT's rock!

[Shaitan]

Only Rolex I sort of regret buying - looks too much like a black sub. And The light blue looks too swatch-y.

The one they make for mature men.

Always looking perfect on the wrist, enjoy it.

Might not be everyone’s cup of tea but I bought it as a tribute to my late father.

First purchased my CHNR, then got the BLNR. Love them both! So different. Check out the CHNR on leather. Like mixing them up but nothing like the original design I am on teh wait list for the VTNR lefty. Have yet to see it in person, but the longer I wait, the harder it will be to say no thanks.

Love the look and concept of the Oreo but hate the height. Glad you're able to pull it off, but really wish Omega would go back to slimmer, wearable case sizes. My own personal gripe; I hope you enjoy.

BLNR > BLRO always and forever.

That's great piece and the tribute factor makes it superb.

I just can't get over the 18 and 6 color blend, and for some reason the pip doesn't seem to perfectly line up with the 12 on some pics I have seen.

That being said, I almost purchased one on a decent discount about three years. I'm glad I didn't because I don't have the wrist to pull it off. It looks great on you though, especially on that NATO strap.

I personally like my watches to pop so would much rather have BLRO then BLNR, both on jubilee.

Thanks man!

I don’t like it on the bracelet or leather strap. It is NATO or nothing for me. The bezel does align perfectly at the 12, the angle of the picture is what makes it look misaligned.

116 winner , keep it

[LC23]

I agree!

[CaliBear]

The New-Pepsi doesn't have the history that people give it credit for.

People seem to forget that the BLNR was a first-of-its-kind bi-colored ceramic bezel Rolex -- an important milestone for Rolex -- and was released in a color combination that never existed with the original GMT.

The New-Pepsi is was released AFTER the BLNR and is really just a modern homage to the original Pepsi. However, the roll-out of the New-Pepsi was not great and even after Rolex has tinkered with the bezel and dial colors, it still just doesn't capture the look and feel of the original Pepsi.

I'll take an Original BLNR over a New-Pepsi.

That black/white GMT and the Speedmaster Pro are my two favorite Omegas. Look great on bracelet or NATO strap.

I want them both, all I told the AD was a GMT-II on oyster. I would be 110% happy with either!

[pearson1995]

First two coloured ceramic bezel, day and night, blue and black, the BLNR I believe will be looked back upon as the 6 digit icon. On oyster….

Just today I put a Jubilee bracelet on my Pepsi. This is where the jewelery blink blink comes in.

Batman forever indeed!

[Time2Travel]

Both are great watches. It's a hard call for me.

That Omega posted by 21321Batman is really something special.

Sorry couldn’t quote it. Low post count.

Welcome to the forums.. since you like Omega's that are "something" special ... here you go... ;)

[mario1971]

Batman in the sun.

[der-kaiser]

Pepsi for me too. But can't deny the blue and black is a real head turner!

take it from me, blue on black isn't as much of a head turner as you might think (a good thing IMHO)..

[watch_the_time]

The more hysteria grows the more I look at my BLNR as the only Rolex I need. Now if they released a modern Coke with brushed bracelet ask me again lol.

Love the Batman in any iteration.
