GMT Master II BLNR incoming!
Finally got the green light for a Rolex, and when I saw this on Hodinkee, I knew it was what I wanted. I visited a couple local ADs, and found one in the flesh, but unfortunately it was not for sale!
I called or visited no less than 10 ADs in the San Francisco Bay Area and in Seattle (was there on business), and there were none to be found. I placed an order with the guy that gave me the best service in the store, and it's now 3 weeks out. Can't wait to get it on my wrist!

The BLNR is a beauty. I finally got the chance to see one I the flesh and the blue is very deceiving as it looks very dark in normal lighting/indoors but a lighter hue outside.
The black dulls down the blue nicely. Congrats. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free |

Nice watch! I tried one on that was on hold at my local AD and loved it too!
Just curious, did the AD guarantee the price when you put down the deposit? |
