Man this thread again has me thinking. I like the BLNR better, but if I get the 124060 while I wait for the Daytona, it would be a better match to the BLRO and LV. I know I dog the BLRO, but it is like cheering from the home team. Need to sleep on this.

Pepsi is more traditional. I would say the batgirl is more versatile.

Ehh.. fwiw, I think the 124060 goes just as well in a collection with the BLNR as it would a BLRO, unless you absolutely have to have a splash of red somewhere.

EDIT: Also remembered your BLNR is on jubilee. In which case I would really feel no need to change it to BLRO just cause a 124060 enters the fold.

Yeah I know what you mean. If I have the LV, BLNR and 124060, I love them individually the best. But the blro would add the bling. Maybe just add and not trade, need to think, appreciate the comment!

I edited my response a bit, but I think esp because your BLNR is on jubilee, it totally works with the 124060.

I must say, I think my bracelet paradigm on these two may have changed. I was a big proponent of BLNR on oyster, BLRO on jubilee. But the red/blue is a bit more casual, almost fits better with an oyster as more of a casual watch. The black/blue dresses up a bit better imo, so I dare say I almost think the BLNR works better with jubilee between the two.

But yea, overall the BLNR is probably the more versatile watch.

I thought I would prefer the BLNR.

But the current Pepsi colours are very much appealing. Time will tell. It’s growing on me.

This. I have a late 2022 ceramic Pepsi and I think the colors are very well done. Like with most non-black ceramic bezels, the type of lighting can determine how a color appears to your eyes. It's also an icon. Hard to beat it.

Ahhh I agree with this as well. Why do I care so much?

Both the 116710BLNR and 16710BLRO are great watches.

I really don't care for the "batgirl"!
