Not trolling !

I think all of a sudden, BLRO pieces are booming here in Brazil !

Not long ago I was desperate thinking when...

Last Friday I got the call from my AD about a model coming this next August, reserved for myself !

About 20 minutes ago, from a second AD which I'm not a recurrent client but I asked them about the watch a month ago with no commitment, got the call for a BLRO coming next Monday, no less !!!!

I must be dreaming !

Right now I'm deciding what to do:

To be loyal to my AD and wait until August or getting from the other AD and even having it delivered to my Apartment with the Rolex Saleswoman for adjustment !

If you're single, I'd suggest taking the second option.

Congrats!

May I ask if those are offered at Rolex MSRP? I know many ADs outside of US would offer a hard-to-find piece at much higher price then MSRP. Glad to hear it's easily available elsewhere.

grimps · 18 July 2018, 06:20 AM

Take them both and sell one , it'll put a couple of thousand $$ towards the other

I can confirm that Panama and Costa Rica have higher MSRP..........what I do not know is, if it is due to some higher duties, or just basic store policy (and I am not talking about just "hard to get pieces".........).

Sure !!

First, I must explain something that is quite common here in Brazil...

It's quite common to split a higher price for a monthly payment with the Credit Card. Sometimes up to 10x (which is the case for both AD's).

The price paying in 10 months is R$ 46.200,00. In US$ at today's exchange is 12.016.19 US Dollars.

Funny thing is: I said to both AD's that I will pay at once and they are barely giving me any discount over the 10x payment price (Bizzare). They are saying that because of the hype, there's basically no discount for the BLRO, paying in 1, 2, 3, 10x no matter what !

I'm right now typing with both AD's on my phone's messenger while I'm posting here !

You have two wrists...just saying! LOL

Thanks for the explanation and congrats for the incoming watch(es) and the beautiful sale lady adjustment. Enjoy!!!

Even for me it's HARD to believe ! 3 weeks ago I had no hopes for it in a short/mid time.

Now, I have 2 options ! This is nuts !

Well, I'm proud to inform that I closed the deal with the "second" AD and they are delivering it to my place, TOMORROW !

I'll post the pics !

brandrea · 18 July 2018, 09:15 AM

Congratulations Fabio, I’m really excited for you

fdm79 · 18 July 2018, 09:18 AM

Another thing:

When I called the AD that I'm actually a costumer and have a relationship, informing that I was going to get from another AD, my friend and saleswoman couldn't care less LoL.
I said: "This is not going to spoil our relationship, right ?", and she said: "By all means NO ! Go get your watch !!! I already have people fighting for this one that was supposed to be yours in August so no deal break for me. It will be sold in a matter of hours !!"

Then, she even invited me for a coffee there afterwards !

Quailhunter · 18 July 2018, 09:47 AM

I turned down the BLRO this week. The watch just didn’t appeal to me. I’m sure it sold immediately.

Just confirmed..... She is not... Only the BLRO is coming ! She said she won't be able to get someone to back her up at the AD tomorrow

Can you imagine how crazy getting your beloved watch, having it on your hands and only admire it not being able to wear it because it's not adjusted to your your wrist ?!

I'll have it delivered here and then, drive with it to the closest Rolex AD to have the bracelet adjusted
