Incoming BLNR

All I can say is WOW. Yesterday was a really cool day for me, this is my grail of grails, and I love it so much. I can not stop staring at it.

Wait was almost 1 year to the day from original request, have been buying from this AD for about 4 years, but nothing crazy and never anything I did not want.

-DJ 126334 for the wife after our son was born
-Tudor FXD right when it came out
-Omega Speedy Hesaslite on nylon, right when AD got the Omega line

It is such a special piece, and it really means a lot to me already. Just a true stunner.

Big shout out to Tappers Jewelers! They were very professional throughout the whole thing. I know they have some huge spenders in their book, but they seem to care about who they sell to. I was never really interested in going grey, I figured if this happens, it happens, and sure enough, it did!

Congrats. Having been a proud owner of one for 7.5 years, I never get tired of staring at it either :)

In 2016, there was only a 3 month wait list!!

HUGE congrats! Best modern SS sports Rolex IMO. It was a collection killer for me, never want to put another on. You will keep noticing the pop of blue, it is the best blue Rolex makes. The jubilee bracelet is so comfortable and allows it to be dress or sport. You can wear it with anything. Glad your AD came through for you, that makes it extra special after the wait.

Huge congrats! BLNR and VTNR are my favorite Rolex GMTs. That pop of blue is amazing, and on jubilee is simply perfection. Enjoy that beauty and wear in good health.
