Never thought I would have one of these posts, but my AD called with an offer I couldn’t refuse today. I am getting a 126710blnr. I paid for it and will pick it up next weekend.

I wasn’t on a list, hadn’t expressed any interest in this watch that I can recall, and have only a limited history with this AD. But this was the first Rolex that I really wanted. I had given up on getting a GMT with the way things are. I can’t wait to pick it up and put it on.

Well dang, I just read in the other thread how an AD told the new subs are pouring in like never before .. Could be a sign of things to come with all the mess in the world .. Never ending lock downs and economy in the toilet ..

Wow, very nice, your SA must’ve been taken a liking to you to be thinking of you even though you didn’t express serious interest in one..

Congrats! I have been waiting for a GMT or a SD 43 for over two years now. I am not a big spender but have previously spent $25K with this boutique. Maybe I should start shopping at dealers who actually have products.

Finally picked up the new BLNR. Posting a photo is not as easy as I thought it would be.
