Outgoing then an incoming, it’s been a busy day

I’ve had an issue with my BLRO lately. The GMT has not not been keeping time. At first I thought I was imagining things, but after tracking it for a few days I realised something was wrong. So i took it to my AD today to get it sent to the RSC. Whilst it’s there I think it could use a light polish. It’s been my most worn piece for 4 years so it’s looking a bit scruffy.



That’s the outgoing bit.

A five minute walk down the street took me to the incoming part of my day. Let me say this, I won’t be missing my Pepsi with this thing on my wrist





It is seriously friggin amazing!! I can’t believe how good it looks, so happy

You have had a busy day!, That VC is very nice, love the color and texture on the dial. Band looks comfy as well.

Congratulations!

Yes it is very special and very hard to acquire as you point out.

People think it’s hard to get a call for the 116500, and it is. However, this piece is next level hard, true unobtainium, and I was pretty lucky to get that call.
