This model has already been manufactured by Rolex (1675), and it's one of the most desirable GMTs and one of the expensive if not the most expensive!

Thanks. It’s hilarious, you see these exact type of treads every so often on here. The general Rolex knowledge on here tends to be fairly poor. Even excluding that specific piece, is it so different from the green hand with the black bezels? I don’t think so.

As for this, I’m not convinced at all… but, it seems so underwhelming as to be true. Bonus point given those loudly saying it could never happen.

I think the prefix would be 126710LB not BL.. for a blue bezel.

Cool story bro. Still hideous.

Yes! I agree. Fake in my opinion

Whereby there is a lot of doubt if these blue bezels are real, just as the one posted by the OP

[Rolzilla]

Fake probably by the same idiot that trolled everyone with blue bezel Daytona couple years ago.

I mean if someone wanted to fool anyone, they would have photoshopped the BLNR bezel so at least the 24-hour hand would match. It makes this more believable that the hand is red, especially because the Pepsi bezel is showing as an option to the side, which indicates if anyone did photoshop this, they did think to include the correct bezel options on the side, which indicated attention to detail so it is less likely they screwed up on the 24-hour hand or the naming (BL instead of LB).

I'm not going to say this is real, but I'm not going to be as quick to dismiss it.

It is easier just to delete NR from 126710BLNR than "re-write" LB. Clearly it is a scam.

US prices are so cheap compared to UK!

Sure it’s fake, but don’t think it works that well myself.

Not really. Someone who was able to manipulate the bezel colour with shadows and add the correct bezel options in the photo surely is capable of rewriting LB.

Provide URL for proof.

Sales tax has to be added on, usually works out more at the current exchange rate!

And yet it’s still on the website

Yup my old all black GMT had LN. I also think the hand would be blue if Rolex were to make this now rather than red to just ape the previous Blueberry model.

I tend to agree, this leak has 50/50 chance. Rolex gave us surprises from time to time and going with a full blue bezel could be it. They are marketing their new releases with "When the Iconic meets the unexpected" so what is the unexpected? That's the question

Personally, I like 2 color bezel, but if this leak is real, what will come of the BLNR, will it be a sought after collectable model in the years to come?

I don't mean just exchange rate as it doesn't work out like that with average earnings in each country and purchasing power. My job would be paid twice as much in the US....

I like the red GMT hand, makes much more sense than the green hand on the now-discontinued black bezel GMT. However, I am not convinced Rolex is going back to a one-colour bezel now that they have perfected the manufacturing process to make two-colour bezels.

[Crown & Shield]

BL is definitely wrong, though, as someone has already pointed out.

[Madman37]

BLNR isnt going to get discontinued. Its to iconic and it went once then came back after 1 year. Rolex wont do that.

[Alpino]

.

The strange thing is the price, 11,200us$ .

No actual SS GMT is this price, BLRO/BLNR is 10,700us$ on Oyster, VTNR is 11,250us$). Why would unicolor bezel more expensive than bicolor ?

Why do all these "leaks" look like they're taken with a camera from 1990?

Haha so true

[GrailTime]

If true, I like it. Throwback to the blueberry….

Which also has the red GMT hand.

Rolex introduced the LN bezel during the era of aluminum, in the early 90s or even late 80s, when creating a bi color bezel posed no manufacturing challenges. So the LN look was a stylistic decision rather than a response to the introduction of ceramic bezels, as I understood your post to imply.
