Got the call!

Got the call from my ad on Friday, my BLNR has arrived!

As a back story this will be my first Rolex, waited about 9 months from my first enquiry. I’ve bought an engagement ring and some earrings since then, which I presume has bumped me up the list.

I’m over the moon to be honest, unfortunately as were in lockdown it is tucked away in their safe until they can reopen, hopefully March/April.

Pics to follow when I can collect!

Congrats!

I’ve been inquiring about a Pepsi for years from my AD. No dice on the Pepsi but he offered me a BLNR in December and I jumped at it and
I couldn’t be happier! The black and blue combination matches with more of my outfits anyways. Post some pics when you get it!

I tried the Pepsi on at the ad in december but have always preferred the black/blue combo. Just a waiting game now for lockdown to end and I can go collect it.

WOW. Congrats. Glad it not take over a year... half a year is still very very good, given you were a customer already :) Enjoy it in great health!

That’s great news — congrats! What a bummer to have to wait when you know it’s sitting there, however. I’m sorry to hear it.

Congratulations! A great acquisition. What a bummer you have to wait to pick it up when you know it’s just sitting there, waiting. My condolences.

Congratulations!

I'm also in Essex. Did you get yours from a Goldsmiths or another group? Just curious as I'm waiting for a Rootbeer from my local Goldsmiths and am curious to know what sort of stock is coming through in our area, especially during the current lockdown.

It’s coming from an ad up north. Fiancé’s family live up there so we go up fairly regularly. I tried goldsmiths in chelmsford and they couldn’t have been less welcoming if they tried. Their loss!
