On blue hues...

[Juantxo]

The blue on my GMT BLNR changes hues according to the way light hits it, but mostly I find it dark to the point of blending with the black half. I wonder, thusly, if the hue of blue on the new GMT is the same as on the previous reference (Oyster bracelet).

I’ll appreciate your views on this first world issue. Thank you.

The colours on the WG BLRO are different than those on the SS BLRO so I wouldn't be surprised.

On the BLRO the red is the underlying layer that goes fully around. So by Rolex making the red darker, it also darkens the blue layer (on the blue side you can see the red layer in certain lighting and magnification).

On the BLNR the base layer is blue and a layer of black is layered over the black for half (putting in most basic non-scientific terms). Actually, in practice chemicals are added when the ceramic compound is still permeable for the BLNR. The BLRO is different where basic metals are added along with rare earth oxides (rare earth metals) to get the red color.

I guess what i'm saying is Rolex should be able to make a Cherry Red/Black RONR ceramic bezel true to color. On the BLRO, Rolex has to deal with the color bleeding (not talking perfect transition for bezel halves, rather the layers). For the BLNR, I think they already had the color they intended, so I'd be surprised if they changed.

That pic is not an accurate rendition of difference, as the red is different in both, as well. I'm sure the colours are almost identical.

Eric Ku who's Instagram I took that from and who is a world renowned expert and worldwide super dealer of wouldn't agree. So I won't either.
