Red and Blue bezel is eye-catching so not under the radar, don't get what so much talk of radars is about, we are all here because no one notices or cares about our watches! With every year that goes by it is watches themselves that are under the radar until they dinosaur.

Now platinum maybe
Not true. If you put the 2 next to one another, there is a distinct difference and you can tell immediately. The WG in different lighting actually looks a little yellow and is much more warmer than SS. I do agree that most people would not be able to tell but 99.9 or 100?

The red and blue do catch the eye but I think most are referring to the SS v. WG aspect.

Yeah, but it's probably louder than a gold watch with black bezel so again not under this infamous radar.

Gorgeous watch! I love the surprise when someone realizes it's a PM and not stainless. Most of the time its just one little thing I happen to know that no one else does... Not sure why that makes me feel good, but it does.

Beautiful piece! I personally love knowing that to most, it looks like a 'regular' SS watch, but to me and other WIS, it's anything but 'regular'! Enjoy your BLRO!
