Red & Blue Incoming! :)
Completely blown away by my new 126710 BLRO Pepsi GMT! Special thanks to Takuya for being incredible to work with as always!

I bought it without seeing this model in person. I knew from wearing my BLNR on Jubilee this would be near perfect for me. I did have some reservations about the colors, but after seeing it in person in all lights, I'm pleased to say I couldn't be happier.

While the red is not exactly "fire engine" red, I don't see any of the maroon or pink that everyones been saying. The blue to me as is also fantastic. It's perhaps even a more true blue than the BLNR (which appears a little more royal to my eyes).

I'll post some pics along side my 16710 BLRO which has a pretty crisp bezel.

So excited about this one. Here are some pics! Enjoy.

Looks great! Congrats!

How did you stop your watches at 31 seconds with the crowns screwed in?

Congrats. Four days into BLRO ownership I can say with certainty that the bezel hue changes under varying lighting...just like the BLNR does.
