Mediocre photo is an understatement - you're being kind

Only a quick wrist shot plus I'm sure there are plenty of amazing BLRO pictures on here so if I did put in some effort it would still be mediocre

I’m so made up for you. I really love it when real watch people get their desired timepieces rather than the gray market.

And as an owner of a 126720 BLRO on oyster, I agree with you. It’s the perfect bracelet to my taste too.

I have the BLNR on jubilee, and I think that suits it better. That’s all preferences in the end, of course.

Congratulations my friend. Wear it in good health!

I've always been honest & transparent with my AD relationships over the years and I'd like to think any positive karma coming my way has been rewarded by my actions/conduct.

Treat people as you would wish to treated and you'll win more than you lose.
big congrats! good to see patience being put into use with a positive mindset.

Thanks for your kind words. I’ve been around Rolex for many years so the last few years have amused me, more so people losing their minds over the market /supply issues. I don’t wish to sound patronising but it’s just a watch so a bit of perspective is needed.

That’s one hell of a combo. Likewise wear them in good health.

Thanks. A bit of humility, perspective and the absence of entitlement is my chosen way to operate.

World would be a better place if we showed greater consideration for each other.

Thanks. Looks like you’ve got a 50th birthday to look forward to. The waiting isn’t too bad as long as you’ve got a date to focus on.

Congrats! I got mine a few days back and it is a lovely piece!

It is encourgaing to hear you say positive things about your AD. What part of the UK are you based in, if you dont mind me asking? I am also in UK (Scotland) so always interested in knowing a good AD :).

I’m sure you’ll understand that’s something I’m not going to divulge. What I will say is that it’s important to work on building relationships with AD’s that are local to you.

Exceptions aside, knowing a good AD will be based on the effort you put into building it. If they are straight shooters and likewise you, a mutually respectful relationship can be built. Just takes time & effort which as a general rule people no longer have these days.

Good luck with your search.
