Well, I can tell you the story of someone who passed on the BLRO for this one. Me :>
Congrats. Enjoy the legibility of this amazing dial, the smoothness of the movement as it makes winding this thing an addiction.

Really? You passed up a BLRO from an AD?

Yes, not any AD, the one and only Rolex Boutique available in two branches in my country.

I tried to convince myself that the 40mm size will be ok on my wrist but I couldn’t after seeing the Tudor. Was too sexy not to take it and order an SD43 from Rolex instead.
I think what I did made the manager of the boutique appreciate me as a client and be sure I’m not a flipper.
I could have flipped the BLNR and bought 4 Tudors for the price!
Now I can order whatever I want from him and I can be sure it’s on my wrist in less than a couple of weeks.

If look on any of the Tudor forums you’ll see there are still quite a few issues with the date wheel on the gmt.
