Thank you all for your opinions, much appreciated!
Given the poll win, the BLRO seems to be regarded as the dressier watch of the two. So 1-0 for the wife. Secondly, many said the BLRO should just get more wrist time no matter what, one person would even change jobs just to be able to wear it more

2-0 for the wife. Lastly, many have given the wise advice that the wife is always right. So this gets us to 3-0 for my wife..
I admit defeat and want to acknowledge that any Rolex is just a masterpiece in its own right. The BLRO will get more wrist time, albeit with increased wrist awareness.
Ps. This thread has gotten a lot of views, I suspect because of the red white and blue bikini woman thumbnail. Good thing it wasn’t a picture of my wife, she’s so much more beautiful the amount of views would have overloaded and crashed the website server
