My WG GMT BLRO Pepsi Has Arrived
This journey started back in April when I put a deposit down on the BLRO sight unseen . I followed intently any thread which might have natural lighting pictures. I followed all of Dr. Toms's threads on it. Who I might add is the chief enabler on this piece while Ken being a close second. Anytime a person with his watch knowledge and collection says it is a keeper for the next generation, I listen. I have gone back and forth with this model as I had too much time to think about it. Anyway it's here and thanks for all the enablers who were not mentioned!

I need to slow down a little. Do you have any part time positions maintaining your collection? A daily winder and cleaner!
