Purplish hue still on the BLRO?

I don't really care all that much for all these MK bezels. Interesting to read but at the end of the day If i anyone who wants a BLRO, waiting for one, and is offered one by their AD at MSRP - they will NOT care one bit which MK bezel it is.

The only thing that is confirmed is that there's definitely a lighter version and darker version, however over time it seems like there are many versions in between and depending on the light and camera and setting no one really knows how many variations are out there. so just enjoy

DJYOLKY - you think the two bezel colors in the 2nd picture are similar? I would disagree 100%

Lol. They all look blurple too me. An unattractive color for a watch bezel to my eyes. Now the older 16710s and earlier model BLROs and BLNRs have pleasing blue hues to my eyes. I’ll never own a current BLRO. You guys are going to have to review your Roman numerals. You’ll be going through them quickly as every batch will be a new mark of blurple.

I seldom buy anything in modern anymore, so forgive me if I am wrong, but I thought this only existed in the earlier “Mk 1s”?

Either way, it looks stellar.
Comes off as black in some lighting..

Love to see close ups of gents that picked theirs up this week!
Have a wonderful week ahead!

Nice congrats!!

Yes, Rolex can’t seem to get the color right...no matter that “mark” whatever the dial is. In different light they may appear blue, but not blue in all light.

IMHO, there is no wrong or right - the ceramic Pepsi color is the current version. The blue doesn’t match the old aluminum inserts - but nor does the red in the ceramic insert.

Now if Rolex changes the chemistry and shows a newer Pepsi version, then we’ll have another go at “right & wrong”.

Mine looks more coke than Pepsi but in the AD under bright cabinet lights through my phone camera you could she blurple. But who cares, it’s not a 4 or 5 digit watch. So far I’ve spent most of the time staring at the bracelet.

Actually, when I got the text, once my excitement settled down I asked for a pic...I definitely prefer the darker colors of late and was a bit nervous mine would not be.

But yeah, even if the lighter colors I'd probably have bought it anyway
