Exclusive Presentation of Basel 2019 Rolex & Tudor in Dublin, Ireland
I was fortunate to attend an exclusive presentation event of the Basel 2019 pieces by Rolex Ireland’s main AD Weir & Sons.
I tried the Blue dial GMT and the Meteorite. I must say the Meteorite disk is absolutely amazing and eye catching. It was a lovely event but only the Basel 2019 watches were on display. The waiting list for the Meteorite dial is 2 to 3 years. I expressed my interest in the Blue Skydweller so let’s see what happens.      Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I was also there with my wife!
It was a lovely setting. The WG BLRO impressed me a lot more than the BLNR on the jubilee. I will stick with my oyster bracelet BLNR. |

Wow! Great looking pieces, OP, first time seeing all GMT in Weir and Sons.
Good to know that there are a few TRF members in Dublin :) |

Nice! Thanks for sharing. The blue dial in the photos looks great.
PS - Ireland is next on my list to take the family. I have been all over Europe but have never been to Ireland and what makes it worse is my Grandmother was born in County Clare. |

Exclusive Presentation of Basel 2019 Rolex & Tudor in Dublin, Ireland
That WG blue dial GMT is really nice! Can you imagine if the blue dial came standard with the SS BLRO? 10 year waiting list?
I think the SS BLRO should have had a variation in the dial to further differentiate it from the BLNR. Like an off white dial. |

Very good, that could well have been us! Love the Sub LV.
Did you take one of the gift bags? There was a Rolex hat and the latest Rolex and Tudor hardback catalogues within. |

I was initially put off by the meteorite dial. Some of the early Basel pictures made it look hard to read, but I’m liking it more and more.
Looks like a fun event, OP! Hopefully your contact sends you a bag! |

Nice pics!
The blue WG GMT looks like a MK1 bezel insert...maybe it's the lighting? |
