Incoming!

Received the call that my new BLNR is available for pickup. I was fortunate enough to have the choice between oyster or jubilee. I chose jubilee to have more separation between the blnr and my sub date 41.

My wife thinks I should wait till the weekend to go pick it up, but that's not going to happen. Leaving the office at lunch tomorrow to make the drive to the AD.

To say i'm pumped is an understatement!

Wow huge congrats and perfect decision to get the jubilee. Always leaves it open for an oyster on a sub. Wait until you feel how comfortable the bracelet is. Remember to show pics!

Massive congrats, you must be stoked! May I ask how long you were waiting for at this AD and what your purchase history was with them?

Well the big day is here! Congratulations

Pro tip … taking some time to enjoy your new watch over lunch or dinner is a special moment and simple pleasure you should make time for

Woohoo! Got mine on Monday, it is such an awesome watch.

Funny enough, my wife said the same thing- there is a Chinese restaurant we like by our AD and she said to wait until the weekend so we can get Dim Sum. I said NO WAY.

Great to hear of more incomings, I hope more and more collectors get their orders filled as the year goes on.

Enjoy it!

Update!!! I made the drive this afternoon and collected my blnr on jubilee (batgirl)! I could have never imagined how good this would be. Maybe it’s just the honeymoon phase, but I can’t stop looking at it. It’s simply perfect on the wrist. They added 2 links to size it to my 8 inch wrist…so comfortable. I’m not sure I’ll be wearing my sub date for a long while.

The AD hooked me up with a super nice Rolex leather 3 watch roll to keep my others safe.

Blown away with the watch, the watch roll, and the AD. Doesn’t get any better than this all the way around. These guys really are top notch!!

Incoming Update

I made the drive yesterday to collect my BLNR (batgirl)! This is definitely my new favorite watch. I can’t stop looking at it. I don’t know if it’s just the honeymoon phase, but I think it’s just perfect. It is so much more comfortable than the sub date 41. I haven’t taken it off yet and can barely tell I’m even wearing it.

My AD gave me an awesome leather Rolex watch roll to spice up the purchase.

I’m so glad to have found these guys! Top notch service and experience all the way around!

Amazing picture! I picked up my BLNR a few months ago and absolutely love it. It never gets boring. I agree with you that it's much more comfortable than the sub 41 and surprisingly I don't really need glide lock outside of a few situations.

My sub 41 has been on my wrist for 3.5 years. I feel like I'm stepping out on it. Haha. I use the glidelock several times per day during the summer. As I transition from the office to the field, my wrist changes several times. It seems like the easylink will have the same adjustment.
