Despite the fact I purchased from an authorized dealer, I'm still a bit troubled that the bracelet doesn't feel the same as my Sub. I am assuming (minus polish center links and clasp) the bracelets are the same. The GMT feels the slightest be lighter, and much more flexible. Almost as though the Sub bracelet has damping (heavy oil in links), and the GMT has none? Is there a difference?I Just purchased it two weeks ago. Just a bit apprehensive. Any help?

It seems too tight for you to wear it from the picture shown. You can go to your AD and ask for adding one half link for the bracelet with adjusting Easy Link to the appropriate position, and I believe you may feel much better when wearing the BLNR.

Agree , proper sizing is key. Maybe take it to the RSC local to you and have them size it and address any other issues you might have with the bracelet.

Pm sent to you

Yes, my thought exactly. I normally don't wear my watches that snug. Although comfortable, It's like wearing my pants 3 inches above my bellybutton. It may be okay, but it just shouldn't be done.

I actually purchased it as a retirement gift to an important person - ME! I won't be wearing it till this Saturday.
Thank you for you input.

Just joined the club this past Saturday. Love this watch. ^_^

berkeleyboy · 25 February 2016, 12:06 AM

Just wondering, if it is set an hour ahead should the blue hand be set at 12?

Does anyone have any pics of this watch on an aftermarket rubber strap?

The blue hand is the time at home, which is 1 hour behind the Dominican Republic. Remember the blue hand is a 24 hr hand. It's 09:47 at home in that picture.

berkeleyboy · 25 February 2016, 03:50 PM

Oooh gotcha. I was thinking an hour ahead. Thanks

berkeleyboy · 25 February 2016, 03:52 PM

Here is a pic of my watch btw

destroxxiv · 29 February 2016, 08:26 AM

Just picked this guy up yesterday, and took a couple of quick shots today before I lost the light. I keep the hour hand to local, 24 hour hand to CET (when not traveling). I lucked out- I originally emailed the AD in September to give them a heads up on purchase slated for February, was advised it would be 4-6 week wait and needed to put half down. No others ADs had the watch in stock. When I reached out earlier this week, they had JUST gotten one in and I was able to secure it and pick it up a few days later. I'm very happy with my purchase!

denmanproject · 29 February 2016, 08:59 AM

Picked it up yesterday, peeled the stickers and just got the perfect fit, one link out, easy-link in, mid micro setting

busytimmy · 29 February 2016, 10:14 AM

BLNR is great. Can't believe how good this watch is. I wear mine every day now and everything else is collecting dust. The best daily Rolex I've ever tried. Can't get enough!

Very Beautiful pictures of the BLNR. Every time I look at them, the more I love my BLNR and feel so lucky I bought one.
