Congratulations. I would not be so hasty to knockout all the sellers that are not AD's. If the AD had not called what would your post look like on a new incoming? AD's are preferable at retail if the watches are seller for mor than msrp. Enjoy your new watch.

Congratulations but why the stupid nickname it's a Rolex BLNR.

I actually prefer the BLNR over the BLRO. It is a great reference. The blue of the bezel is beautiful like the WG sub. Congrats on getting a great watch.

I do too now as well. I used to strongly prefer the Pepsi. It took me owning the BLNR for a few months before I really realized it’s perfection.

The BLNR are better colors imo and I also value the black and blue being the best representation of night and day for its GMT function. Black/blue makes more sense than blue red.

Congrats. I tell people this all the time, instead of AD waiting, buy grey and enjoy. When you get the AD call, sell the grey piece and about break even. It's like renting the watch you want for a year or so.

100000% The black/blue is a beautiful combo.

I was and still am on the pepsi list. AD knew I had the GMT itch, couldn't pass on a new BLNR. Peps is a collectors dream.
