Wg gmt lbro

bringing this topic again, the 2018 BLRO red and blue are not as vivid. Comparing to the BLNR the blue really looks like purple.
Owners of the WG blue dial GMT, how do you feel about it?

There are apparently two iteration of the bezel inserts. The first the fruity colors and more recently darker blue and redder reds. You should still be able to change the title under "Go Advanced."

I like the color I believe most pic changes are just light conditions when pictured.

If I was lucky enough to own the blue dial, I wouldn't even remotely care.

No complains here, love the watch. But it is interesting how Rolex missed to get the color right on 2018 BLRO

Two (nearly) identical watches. Double post. Forum name appears to be for two people.

I wonder what your favorite number is? Oh, and cool watch(es). Have you done a photo shoot for the class with the (supposedly) two different bezel versions?

(Sorry for all the parentheticals.)

Just thinking out loud but maybe Rolex designed the bezel exactly that way???? Maybe the colors are exactly the way Rolex wanted them to be?

I'm sorry my friend ... it was an attempt at humour, I'll stick to my day job


I only own one.

The pictures were meant to poke fun at the controversy about the two bezel colours ...

It's the same watch. Brian's showing how lighting can play games with the colors.
