The 7-month wait was well worth it.
It's as good as you think it is.
I'm on the list for a Daytona, but if I'm honest with myself, I think this is "the one" for me. It'll join my 124060 in the lineup, and man, I might be done. (Which is good, because who knows when I'll ever get a call for a Daytona.) This beauty is gonna get a lot of wrist time. |

Wonderful pick up.
Got mine recently on the Jubilee & for me, it’s the best modern Rolex. Got everything you need with the Pepsi. |

Love it and love the one I got a month or so ago. Congrats. I'm also awaiting a Daytona and Sub, but, honestly, I think the GMT will get the lion's share of wrist time to the point that I won't be heartbroken if I don't get either of the other two. This is an awesome timepiece all the way around.

I’m the same but with a mk2 39mm Explorer. Picked up my GMT BLRO on oyster and genuinely still believe that is it.

I've only had it two days, but it took about 8 seconds on-wrist to realize I could wear it much longer than my Sub. And yes, while the Daytona would round out a perfect trio, I'm super happy (and grateful) with what I have. |

Splendid timepiece that will last you a lifetime. Unless you really need a chrono you could pass on the Daytona.

7 months is incredible. I am hearing years... as in very plural years. LOL

Thanks all!
I agree, it was far from the worst wait, especially considering I didn't have a lot of purchase history (the Sub and some Mikimoto pearl earrings for the wifey). I'm pretty minimalistic and don't want a lot of stuff in my life, and the thought has crossed my mind these last two days that this could easily be a collection of one. For a long time I was, and was committed to being, a one watch guy. But I'm pretty attached to the Sub, so we'll see. |

My grail! I'm 5 months in and counting, have bought 2 watches in the meantime that I also like, but BLRO is one of my fav Rolex watches. Hope to get an allocation within the next 12-18months, I have patience I can wait :)
