BLRO by far for me. I love blue, almost all blue, except for Royal blue. Never been a fan.
Great comparison pics!

The BLRO is the better looking watch IMO.

I think the question is not which watch you prefer but which color BLUE you prefer.
I am a fan of the BLRO and hope to get one some day, but I honestly like the brighter blue of the BLNR much better. I'm not sure if it would be too bright with the red but I'd like to see it. I'm sure there is a photochop of it like that somewhere, or there soon will be.

It shouldn't be purple.Rolex didnt quite get it right on that one. Saw it in the metal.Therefore the later version which is more blue(As confirmfed by many members) would be my choice.In future the more purplish version may be worth more,time will tell .
BLNR blue is blue ,I own one . Own a few Rolex and I must say that at MRSP its a great buy , but at market/Grey asking price it must be the most overrated Rolex in history (ss BLRO and BLRN with oyster or jubilee). My opinion ,but the market obviously thinks differently. The market also now decided that the asking price for the 126710 BLRN is now higher than the BLRO.(Chrono 24) |

The Blue and Red on the BLRO are kinda faded, and gives off a pinkish purple hue.
HorologyHouse on youtube has a video of the comparison between the two, and the vast majority prefers the BLNR once they seen the real life version of them. |

Is this a Mk1 or Mk2 BLRO bezel?
Prefer the blue on the BLRO over the BLNR. That being said, the blue on the BLNR is a better match for the other half of the bezel being black. The BLRO blue plus black would look far too dull for a bi-color bezel. |

Having had the opportunity to try the new BLNR recently, it's an easy choice (for me): the BLRO.

Both great watches. I really prefer the blnr blue over the blro blue/purple (but I haven’t seen the new blro update in person, which is supposed to be more blue than the first version). I like how the blnr blue really pops in the sunlight but then looks almost black at night or indoors. Either one is a treat though.

I like the BLRO better overall. I wish they would make the BLRO with the brighter blue from the BLNR.
Unfortunately, that’s not possible from what I understand of how the bezels are made. The BLNR starts out as a completely blue bezel where half is turned black. The BLRO starts out as a red bezel where half is turned blue. |

I don’t mind either. They’re both nice in their own right.

BLRO seems to carry more class imo, the BLNR is nice too but in a very different way.
