Incoming - patience is a virtue and I've waited......
Patiently.........

Had the call a few days ago, which caught me by complete surprise.

I thought it would a little longer than the 18 months I've been waiting. To say I'm made-up is an understatement.

Apologies for the mediocre picture taken in haste.

Congratulations. Mine took 15 months. I thought it would take longer but it was worth the wait.

Undoubtedly worth the wait. My wait was on the back of building a new AD relationship, my previous Rolex AD which I had a relationship with for over 20 years lost their AD status

Had to start from scratch but worth the effort. Got the watch I wanted plus a new AD relationship with really nice people

Congrats, one of my favourites. I was lucky to get mine in 4 months, but a lot of people have to wait for this beauty. Enjoy :)

Very lucky to get it so quickly. Alas mine did require a new AD relationship which has turned out to be nothing other than exemplary in how they operate.

Thanks - me too. Others will prefer the jubilee but my preference is for Oyster on a sports watch but hey that's just my preference.

Awesome stuff, congrats. I waited 8 months for mine & still pinch myself every time I wear it.

Was your preference for the Oyster?

Yes - always the Oyster for me. Minor thing for me are the PCL's. I'd prefer Rolex to have gone with brushed centre links on the Oyster but that's just nit-picking from me.

The ceramic bezel just pops in the Pepsi configuration - really special piece.

Mine too. My AD asked me some months before which bracelet I wanted and the Oyster was a no brainer for me.

Since then I have bought a Rolex on Jubilee and the wearing comfort is such that I've ordered a Jubilee for the BLRO. I'll be keeping the Oyster though.
