For info, and for what it's worth.

I was fourth on the list when I ordered it. It took five months to arrive. I got a discount.

In accordance with the principles of Murphy's Law, it came in just as I was leaving the country for three weeks. They will stash it for me until I return. I'm not reporting anything as absolutely gospel but again, for what it's worth, they told me that punters were not even asking for discounts on many Rolex models, and every 116613LB sold this year went for MSRP without haggling.

I didn't expect to get a discount. But if you don't ask, you don't get. And to my surprise, I got. When I collect it I'm going to have a conversation about Sky Dwellers and lists. Apart from the 2018 SS BLRO, it's the only remaining model in the range that I have strong pangs for. But I'll need to try if for size first.

Meanwhile, the Bluesy Club will gain one more delighted member at the end of this month. It will almost be worth finishing my holiday for!

Congrats!! Enjoy! One of the best looking Rolex models in my humble biased opinion!

It’s an incredible watch. So, so under-rated.

Awesome...can't wait to see it!

bp1000 · 6 November 2018, 05:28 AM

Congrats! It’s a beauty. One I won’t sell.

I got the call on the first day of my holiday when buying the Tudor BB 58. Had to wait 2 weeks.

It’s certainly worth it!

Thank you all. It arrived somewhat sooner than I was expecting. I was also expecting to get a discount of 0%, because this model and others TTs seem to be gaining popularity off the back of the SS supply situation.

I'm not all that much into TT and PM, but this watch really calls to me. It's beautiful.

Yes sir !!!
Gorgeous and I enjoy mine every time I put it on my wrist...
Congrats, you will absolutely love it ...

I agree TT never interested me but this is unpassable. It’s easily one of the nicer pieces in the entire range, in my opinion at least

Not under rated at all.

Congrats OP on this special watch.

Congratulations on the purchase of ‘bluesy’.
It’s one of my favourite Rolex watches.
How much discount did you get?

siempreko · 6 November 2018, 10:21 PM

Congratulations! But, this will be a LONG 3 weeks... filled with anticipation!

Boaters · 6 November 2018, 11:16 PM

Great choice can't wait to see the pics

Harry-57 · 6 November 2018, 11:51 PM

Thanks again all. At least I get to keep the money for three more weeks!

There's always an upside if you squint hard enough.
