1st Incoming for 2016

Hello Friends and fellow TRF members,

First a little background on how I got to my 1st Rolex in 2016 ...

My first Rolex back in 2013 was a DJ 16233, which I sold to purchase a Rolex GMT 116710LN and Omega AquaTerra Blue Dial in 2014. I rotated these two for a couple of months until I realized that Omega is not for me. After 6 months of use, I sold my Omega AquaTerra. I was then left with only the Rolex GMT 116710LN. At first, I was satisfied and contented with this classic GMT. But after over a year of owning it, I realized I wanted something more vibrant. So I decided to sell it 3 weeks ago to finance a new Rolex watch.

Now comes my 1st incoming for 2016 - the beautiful and great looking BLNR. This BLNR together with the 2nd incoming sometime in May will complete by 2 Rolex sports SS watch.

Below are some shots taken a few hours ago. My apologies if the shots are not that great, not rotated properly and the watch still has stickers and the bezel cover. They are now all off and I am now enjoying the naked BLNR on my wrist at home.

Thanks to Dorison of Montecristo in Vancouver for a nice sales experience, short wait time for my BLNR and a 2016 Rolex calendar.

Special thanks goes to my friend Eric Chan, who never got tired of my questions and who has provided me with sound advice on final 2 Rolex watch purchase. It was nice seeing you again tonight. I love the YG GMT you were wearing.

Cheers,
Alain
