I decided on flipping my 16570 and OP 39mm to purchase this. My first rolex buying experience wasn't great and I shared the experience on YouTube. Thankfully this time around it was much better and wanted to say a big thank you to all in the Rolex Forum for their help and support in me getting one. Here what it was like buying the blnr in a vlog: BUYING MY NEW ROLEX
Salam and congrats on the BLNR, one of the best looking Rolex models for sure!!
Out of curiosity what's the lead time in DXB for the Daytona ceramic?

Congratulations on your new BLNR! Two weeks is a short wait. Glad your AD experience was better this time around. I think many of us have had poor to bad AD experiences at some point unfortunately. Wear it in good health. Cheers!

The BLNR is a stunner and I think you made a good choice. By the way, I enjoy vlogs and channel.

Wear it proudly!

I had some help securing one quicker through someone at the AD who realized it may get a mention on YouTube.. I guess it does have its perks

Wasalam! I asked and they laughed and said a long time! Guessing a year or two?! They also want full payment upfront before they'll add to the list.
