Is it just me, or does this BLNR look tiny compared to the other two?

I own both the BLRO and the BLNR and I would go with the Pepsi if I had to choose. Just something about the bezel and jubilee bracelet and how shinny it is.

5 digit Pepsi/coke followed by the BLNR. Despite what folks say the blro (and hulk for that matter) are still pastel and are so shiny they have a disco ball character to them. Spare me the pics in the proper lighting at just the right angle that make it look somewhat normal. The blue appears more true in the BLNR.

I didn't even need to vote to know what the results would be. Lots of love (hype) here on this forum for the Pepsi.

If they release coke, please redo this poll! I’d love to see the forum results on a concept vs. tangible option. I’d guess it would be similar with the coke stealing from all and coming in #2 behind BLRO With the rest staying in same order.

Edit: random reply, not sure what happened to Tapatalk! Meant to reply to OP.

Hi Brian, noted

It will be interesting to see how the results go over the coming weeks as more members vote.

I think the results are already showing that perhaps the 'hype' over the Pepsi on this forum is not as strong as one may believe. It seems that perhaps all the talk is more about the desire by Rolex watch collectors to add one to their collection to complement their other GMT's and the difficulty they have achieving this.

Having said that, I do agree that the difficulty of obtaining a particular watch and its perceived 'exclusivity' by the market will influence some to leaning a certain way.

Pepsi one. Not a fan of the black and blue color scheme ... But that's just my eye personally.

Second I'd choose the CHNR.

CHNR and BLNR are too close for me to choose and the BLRO is just behind. If I ever get an opportunity for one of these three at a reasonable price, I'll buy it and convince myself that it was my favorite all along. The LN is not for me.

Ridiculous how the BEST option is not on the list, 116713 and 116718 bezels. The hype train keeps going.

Correct me if I am wrong but aren't the models you refer to 'LN' models? If so, please vote under the LN option.

The poll was meant to focus on which bezel color people prefer rather than which specific GMT model people prefer.
