Following some recent discussions on this forum regarding the varying color hues of the ceramic Pepsi bezel and members like or dislike of it, it was suggested it would be interesting to conduct a poll to establish members current color preferences for the GMT ceramic bezel.

Therefore:

Which ceramic GMT bezel would you prefer if you could have only one?

1. LN (all Black Ceramic GMT)
2. BLNR (Batman)
3. BLRO (Pepsi)
4. Coke (possible future release given the latest hue on some Pepsi bezels)
5. CHNR (Rootbeer)

Please ignore bracelet options for the purpose of this poll.

Root beer

I like the BLRO - I like red and blue, I like how the appearance of the colors can vary quite a bit based on light conditions/angle, and I also like how they seem to have a small amount of variation by lot, as it adds a touch of uniqueness.

Posh Gentleman · 7 July 2021, 03:46 AM

1. blnr, 2. blro, 3. the rest.

Pinchy · 7 July 2021, 04:08 AM

BLNR, It's a unique color combo and the blue is executed so well compared to the weirdly colored pepsi. I do like red and blue, but I may seek a bb GMT for the nice rich red and blue pepsi feel.

Stan Cooper · 7 July 2021, 04:17 AM

I prefer BLRO. History, don'tcha know.

jb335 · 7 July 2021, 04:25 AM

Pepsi by a mile, no hesitation.

I guess I would put the BLNR a distant second followed by the LN but I could see myself flip-flopping those.

I personally don't care for the color brown, so no interest in a CHNR for me.

AEV · 7 July 2021, 04:56 AM

It has to be the iconic BLRO followed closely by the BLNR, the first ceramic two-tone.
Planning to keep these two and let the CHNR go

BLRO

Would love to see a LNRO some day or I’ll get it from Tudor if they come out with one first

Shazbot302 · 7 July 2021, 05:49 AM

I know I'm in the minority here, but the ceramic Pepsi doesn't move the needle for me one bit.

1. CHNR - I used to think it was hideous, but now I absolutely love it. I can't stop staring at my wife's TTRB and I seethe with jealousy when she wears it.

2. BLNR - My former number 1. I've always wanted one, but now I think it might visually overlap to much with my 114060 to justify.

3. Coke - Distant third.

4. Pepsi - Fortunately, no interest....otherwise I'd be pulling out my hair waiting on one.

5. LN - same.

Dr.Stu · 7 July 2021, 06:32 AM

I voted for the BLNR, but do love the look of the WG BLRO with a blue dial.

beshannon · 7 July 2021, 06:35 AM

The BLNR is my favorite

1000% agree - the BLNR was my number one, but I think it is too close to my 124060, so for me CHNR is my #1. Don’t care much for red in general, so that knocks off Coke and Pepsi for me. I could say the same thing about brown, but to wear I like brown much better than red. LN would be 3 though, but even closer to my sub.

FTX I · 7 July 2021, 06:50 AM

LN for me. Not even a contest.

GMT Aviator · 7 July 2021, 07:29 AM

Got them all except for the BLNR.

LN if only one.

roadie1 · 7 July 2021, 09:21 AM

I own stainless BLRO.
I kick myself for passing on LN.

LN is my preferred.

BLRO—unparalleled history. Proud to own one. My copilot wore Grandpa Paul Tibbets’ on our long duration combat missions. Vietnam pilots began the proud military tradition of BLROs in combat.

Little machines · 7 July 2021, 10:40 AM

BLRO !! the colors of the dial are beautiful!

sski · 7 July 2021, 12:27 PM

BLNR......logical, elegant. It will age well, stand the test of time.

lcs77 · 7 July 2021, 01:08 PM

1 blro, 2 blnr

ltmgeller · 7 July 2021, 01:11 PM

Pepsi for me all day everyday.

Probably this too but the BLNR and BLRO are both really special in their own way so depending on the day it’s a coin toss
