Called into my AD for a chat & a catch up - an hour later I’m still there trying on the new 2021 SS BLNR & BLRO on Oyster.

Apols for the poor pics of the BLRO on the tray, but man I got to say this thing is absolutely gorgeous in the flesh.

Unfortunately both these pieces were already spoken for, but I was told, based on current availability, 12 to 18 months for the BLNR & 24 months for the BLRO.

Definitely worth the wait...

If you get chance to see these at your AD, take it, especially for the Pepsi - honestly I wasn’t a massive fan of it on Jubilee but on Oyster it’s a completely different watch.

Cheers

Awesome. Thank you for posting.

Both look great! Thanks for sharing.

Hauxrologist · 16 May 2021, 05:28 PM

Thanks for sharing these- I still prefer the thicker lugs on the previous BLNR, but this looks great as well.

Looks very great. Oyster is perfect. I ve been waiting for 18 months already. Haha

Technically it’s a new model, so I should revisit your AD & ask to go on the ‘new’ list

Nice

Chester01 · 16 May 2021, 10:12 PM

Still purple on that BLRO. The blue remains distinctly different on the BLNR.

brandrea · 16 May 2021, 10:14 PM

Nice Max,

did you put your name down?

KBM · 16 May 2021, 10:30 PM

Are the cases on these identical to the cases on the new 41mm subs or are they something in between them and the previous maxi case?

1William · 16 May 2021, 10:42 PM

Great looking watches and I currently own both on the Jubilee bracelet. I am going to buy a Oyster bracelet in a few months when they are available and mix and match. The BLRO and the BLNR are great watches and a lot of fun.

Francist · 16 May 2021, 11:32 PM

I asked the estimated waiting list for 2021 BLRO and my AD just laughed. There are dozens of super VIPs already on it & they buy luxury watches like people buy doughnuts.

franktehtank · 17 May 2021, 01:18 AM

Looks great! I still prefer the jubilee on both the BLRO and BLNR.

dazooom · 17 May 2021, 01:36 AM

I would be tempted to brush those center links if I had it. That being said, awesome looking watch! Thanks for sharing.

Wrist Watcher · 17 May 2021, 02:20 AM

They both look fantastic. Having said that, I’m not sure why I’ve changed on this, but I prefer the jubilee on both versions, especially the BLRO. I wouldn’t pass on either version though haha!

I know the watch would be much brighter and perhaps too “cartoonish” for some, but I wish Rolex would use the BLNR blue on the BLRO.

uniqueMR · 17 May 2021, 02:28 AM

Congrats :)

So they do likely. Someone here posted an infrared pic. The lay down the red on the blue or the blue on the red creating the purple look. The BLNR would be my pick of the two.

No. The mid case is identical to the 2018 release of the blro. The mid case is extremely similar, practically the same as the 2013 blnr. You cannot tell the difference when taking measurements.

Well it would have been rude not to Brian..

12 to 18 months quoted on the BLNR & up to 24 months on the BLRO

I can wait though, the BLRO is beautiful in the flesh

Got it. They're maxi cases, then. Thanks for the confirmation.

It's a marvel that they are able to get it this spot on. With slight variations, after they fire the ceramic and they complete the finished product, it looks absolutely excellent and most lighting. The first batches were more pastel, but they are better now in my opinion.

The blro is really something else]20190810_180823-01.jpg Attachment 1221665

I just got my BLNR yesterday... really wanted it on oyster so I could alternate the bracelet between my BLRO and the BLNR. Now I have two jubilees

Guessing I'll have to trade one of the jubilees for an oyster when they start rolling out.
