I have been on the list with my two local ADs for a GRNR for the past year. I periodically check in and do the the typical AD/customer dance. I've been borderline obsessed with this watch since its release. It's not the most popular GMT model (most like batman and pepsi more) so I've been a bit surprised at the wait, but so it goes. I am not a gold guy and didn't think I'd ever want a two-tone watch, but this watch is absolute stunner in person. Like I said, I've been obsessed. :)

I was traveling for work this past week. There was a Rolex boutique across the street from my hotel, so of course I wandered in to "look around". Ha. Tried on the GRNR, chatted with the AD for a bit. I let her know, I've been on the list at my local ADs, but came in because "hey, you never know". I asked if she had it in stock and available, but admitted that I knew that was a long shot. She and I both laughed at the question (given the current state of supply/demand). I let her know that I get to her town for work quite a bit and that if one came available I'd make a trip there to get it. Overall, a really pleasant exchange, she took my info and I left thinking, I'll never hear from her again (out of towner, no spend history at this boutique, yeah right, good luck try again next time).

It would be understatement to say I was shocked when she texted me 30 minutes later and told me she had it available if I was able to come back to the boutique! Needless to say, I got back over there immediately and picked up this beauty. Pictures don't do it justice. I love it.
Wow, that’s so great, congratulations. Sometimes you’re in the right place at the right time so it pays to go in and ask!!

I typically match my watches to my outfits. I have been intentionally wearing clothes all week to match my new piece. LOL

Congrats on your great looking GMT!
Sometimes it's more about luck and chemistry with a SA rather than spend history.
Enjoy your GMT in good health.
Cheers!

I just know they have stock in their safes so it’s very cool they thought best to just pull one out and sell it to you. Nice pickup. Wear it well.
