Lucked out

I really lucked out! I turned down a BLNR a month ago and then got another call from another AD for a BLNR. Couldn't resist it this time and the crown lined up perfectly. She's a keeper!

So you turned it down because the crown did not line up?

No I tried to be tough and turned it down waiting for a BLRO. But I couldn't resist the second time around.

Congrats!

That's a nice little thing to have I would assume.

Neither of the two that I've purchased have a crown that "lines up."

So congrats on the new watch. Based on only one pic focused on the crown position I assume this was an important item on your checklist. Please advise what exactly is the crown supposed to be lined up perfectly too?

Funny how timing works like that... I bought my GMT LN and 10 days later I had the call for a BLNR. Glad you got what you wanted. Congrats!

ahh nice!! I let my gmt go because I could not find the "perfect" fit. I even tried it on a rubber b and it fit better but I just could not get used to the look. I like the bracelets better. Hopefully one day I can afford to obtain a sub and a batman and copy that idea.
