Looking at the latest round of images here and some high quality videos, I have to go with the BLRO in SS.

Also, the waiting lists are huge so this speaks for itself.

Now, you don't see a Batman in there, do you?

That’s cause he’s waitlisted for the blnr

BLNR by a hair for me. The versatility of the color scheme makes the difference.

BLNR just barely gets the nod from me.

Blnr by a hair. Big fan of the Jubilee but the BLNR would get more oppty for wrist time with the versatility of the colors.

VicLeChic · 15 June 2018, 08:25 AM

I've never been a fan of the BLNR due to the colour combo and that electric blue on its own alienates me completely. The BLRO however looks stunning on some pictures and I like the jubilee better for this watch. Might think differently the day I finally get to see one as quite a few have expressed disappointment in the flesh.

MARTIN1264 · 15 June 2018, 08:27 AM

BLNR for me.........

Donaldkrama · 15 June 2018, 08:54 AM

It is the BNLR for me without hesitating.

GradyPhilpott · 15 June 2018, 08:58 AM

Even though I bought my BLNR without having seen it personally first, I wouldn't buy the SSBLRO without having seen it first, because of the uncertainty about the colors.

To be clear I didn’t mean to reply to this three times. I am new to the forum and Tapatalk must have had a lag. I just thought they weren’t going through. I’m not a lunatic... I think.

amg55 · 15 June 2018, 11:07 AM

A close contest, if only the Pepsi had the oyster bracelet...

Nikrnic · 15 June 2018, 11:11 AM

BLNR, only because of bracelet

SS BLRO , NO DOUBT and I owned a BLNR !!!

novocainekarma · 21 June 2018, 09:52 PM

BLNR for me, but, the BLRO bezel changes in the light in the same way that the BLNR does, so it doesn't always have the purple tinge.

3) I don't think the case got all "that updated."
4) End of the day, I think the oyster bracelet is more versatile than the jubilee.
5) Value retention, I think both will retain fairly well but it's never going to be a Daytona.
6) People who really care about the heritage of BLRO will be buying 16710/16700's anyway IMO.

Both are cool, it doesn't matter...call it a tie.

I want two tone coke to come out so I can call it the Iron Man...Marvel needs some love.

Agreed !

Amochosto · 13 August 2018, 10:31 AM

I voted for BLRO. My opinion is that both watches would be improved if the blue part turned to black though.

LN>BLNR
Coke>Pepsi

Again it’s only my opinion, and it is weird because generally I like blue totally blue bezel like the Black Bay Blue looks great to me, but somehow BLNR in particular does not move the needle for me.

MARGARITATIME · 13 August 2018, 02:06 PM

BLNR for me. Not a fan of the jubilee. I wanted to like it, but when I tried on the DJ it just didnt do it for me. In pictures Jubilee looks great. In person I feel like its for an older gentlemen.

I agree as well. I'm sure the Jubilee does well to hide scratches/scuffs, but I prefer the sportier Oyster look. Still love the BLRO but would've been all over it if a SS Oyster variant was available.

holg · 13 August 2018, 02:48 PM

It is definitely the Pepsi for me.

Doozer · 14 August 2018, 02:34 AM

I'm a Batman fan simply because of the color scheme.

All this poll tells me is both are very nice wantable watches and there are more BLNR than BLRo´s out there.

Texasjim · 14 August 2018, 07:22 AM

BLRO...so classic.

SentimentalSub · 14 August 2018, 07:41 AM

BLNR for me.
IMO the pepsi looks good also :)
