If it exists, yes but people say that there’s no difference and different pics in different lighting causes it to look different.

Hard to say. We’ve seen some 2020’s that look like the first generation

dated 8/2020 means you should be sharing pics of the new watch!

Let me check my Rolex BLRO Mk bezel confirming chart....
Yeap, it clearly states hear that with that date of warranty card validation information you are clearly in possession of a bi-color ceramic bezel code BLRO..... But seriously, no one will be able to answer your question, all you have is a dated warranty card and that doesn't say anything about when the watch was actually produced and no one at Rolex identifies anything about a BLRO bezel by "Mk" anything. The more important question is, when you look at it on your wrist, are you happy, that's all. |

I seem to remember DavidSW quoting different “marks” on his website so it’s definitely not just a forum thing. More likely that each and every batch produced will have slightly differing hues.

The 3 known “Mk” with no specific date as when each was produced except the the early BLROs were lighter in color and with the later BLROs darker in color. however remember seeing something that a lighter color BLRO popped up now as well. no one knows

No such thing as all this Mk stuff,as it only exists in internet land, and when you fire most ceramics especially red colour, there could be tiny variations batch to batch.

True. perhaps no "mk" per se but definitely 2-3 red hued variants buckets that your BLRO bezel color could fall into. some more lighter some darker

So anyway, do your own research and you will come to the inevitable conclusions that the 3 variations exists. |

You can repeat it over and over again but you’re still wrong. Those “slight color differences” are exactly what we are talking about. And you don’t have to wait. As stated above, dealers are actually selling mk1,2,3 labeled as such. I’ve held an Mk1 and 2 side by side in the metal. Have you?

When has anyone claimed that Rolex has officially labeled them mk1,2 etc? Never. This forum is internet land. So yes, those of us buying this watch actually do care.

And if you shattered one Rolex will give you whatever is in the making at that moment. Rolex doesn't give a F, the value is pure internet hype. |

I fully believe all of this. While I don't operate or live in fear, it does make me mindful when I wear my BLRO, in that I am quite fond of my current color set. If something were to happen, very likely would not be the same watch post service.
