Incoming Grail - BLRO
waiting since 1.5 years sitting on waiting lists... did not want to wait any longer, so went for gray market - and now that I have it, I wonder why I waited that long for it!
MK3 Bezel, watch from 07.2020 brand-new, i just love it |

Congrats Sir! If you don't mind my asking....how much over retail did you land up having to pay for it?

Beautiful watch. I’m green with envy!
I was on waiting lists for 3 years for a Daytona before I finally went gray (fortunately that was a few years ago so I only paid a small premium compared to today). It’s a shame the new Rolex game is what it is but but ultimately it’s about having what you want. And only you can place a value on that. I hope you enjoy it. I know I would! |

Who cares what you paid? Seriously, why would anyone care?
It’s your dream watch and it’s on your wrist! Nothing else matters! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Congrats! I am faced with similar temptation, and I was adamant about never paying a premium and waiting however long it took to get my hands on one.

I get why another member might be curious if they’re trying to source one themself but it rubs me the wrong way when members are chastised for paying a premium. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I agree..My Rolex AD told me that if I did not spend $100K per year on other items in the store I would probably never see a BLRO,Daytona etc.. So in my case what can I do if you really want the watch? I have to pay way over retail. |

Congrats! Yeah, I’m on a “list”... Not really a list, but on a notification note paper thing.
They say two years maybe, but I’ve been trying to decide what my price ceiling would be if I can’t wait. I’ll probably wait, but I may entertain a really good price if it presents itself. |
