That watch is it beautiful watch and it does a lot of things but flying under the radar ain’t one of them.

I get it I don't have a PM but I get it!

OP, beautiful watch.

I buy my watches for me so I could care less. WG is nice!

RolexNorth · 13 March 2018, 12:33 PM

Geez, another stickered watch in the wild.

tomchicago · 13 March 2018, 01:00 PM

Enjoy your nice watch op.. WG is

gullabaa · 13 March 2018, 03:28 PM

What a beautiful watch. WG looks great. YG is my choice of gold but congratulations on your choice.

topfuel25 · 13 March 2018, 04:09 PM

Have been hearing grey resellers saying WG will always take a hit but nevertheless some peeps prefer a lower profile

Geez. Read the thread posts

I love my BLRO, I love that most people don't take a second look. And I love that those who do know what it is, are WIS and generally appreciate it for what it is. An amazing Rolex, made from a special material and with a unique heritage.

I feel lucky every time I put it on.

I personally love the WG look and feel without the flash of YG. I'm my case, the nickel in the SS give me a rash so WG is a must for me.

How is a red and blue bezel out of the ordinary timepiece more low key than something like a simple black dial Submariner?

Enjoy your Pepsi -

The Rolex design team for the BLRO must have had a wry sense of humor. They take the iconic Pepsi GMT Master and remake it in a new version that “flies under the radar”.

The original is called the Pepsi GMT; this one is the “Stealth Pepsi GMT” methinks.

If you need to scream “look what I can afford” by sporting Yellow Gold everywhere, then this ain’t your model. (By the way, I’m not besmirching those of us who like YG for its own color). I had a YG DD on alligator and a Platona. Both had a subdued presence.

On the other hand, perhaps the OP’s friend has an affirmation deficit that needs stoking by other people admiring his conspicuous consumption.

Its more low Key than the Yellow Gold models.

dr35mm · 13 March 2018, 11:31 PM

That's exactly the reason why I love watches like the BLRO, Smurf, Aquanauts and even the Nautilus, for those who have no clue they are just "simple" watches.

Lovely BLRO

904VT · 13 March 2018, 11:59 PM

WG looks just like SS....says the people that have never owned WG

Distinctly different.

I agree with that, as it makes complete sense. However, it was his statement of "If there is such a thing as flying under the radar while rocking a Rolex" had me scratching my head.

soran · 14 March 2018, 12:39 AM

It does however look different as its a warmer "white" metal

wytrader · 14 March 2018, 12:50 AM

Love it, personally not in the PM metal space yet but have tried it on. Absolutely love the weight. When I switched back to my BLNR it felt like a toy watch.

Xerxes77 · 14 March 2018, 01:31 AM

I like when no one know what I have on the wrist!

Just saw the BLRO in person today at a grey market dealer. It looked EXACTLY like stainless. The price difference to the regular ss is crazy! My opinion
