FINALLY....tried on a BLRO.
And it is everything I imagined it would be and more.
This watch is quite simply beautiful. Great size, feel, look, comfort and everything else. If I hadn't just spent all of my disposal income on a new ride, it would have come home with me. I make no excuses, I prefer other brands because I choose to avoid the Rolex stigma. But the BLRO is even nicer than I thought it could be. Pictures do no do it justice. I'll be opening a new savings account tomorrow. And I'll be saving for this beauty. For certain. PS. Tried on the Platone too. And that thing is other worldly. To all that own one, damn.........

The good news is time is on your side. The price will still come down a fair bit before levelling out.

My theory though, save up double what I am spending. Thinking 70k will be safe, or until I notice a decent drop in price. Potentially looking at 2+ years. This will be super exercise for me.

I've tried on both the BLRO and the Platona and both blew my mind.

Loved the Platona save for the Colors. Nice weight / heft...but for the price - I'd go A.lange & Sohne or Patek.

Nice 'stang. I see you got the performance package. Might be my next car (if my 9 year old son has any say in the matter, and he does!).

Also had the chance to try one on this past weekend, but was disappointed with the colors.

I tried on a BLRO this past Saturday as well. It's a beautiful watch. The colors work very well together. To me the black dial pops against the blue/red on the bezel

I'm afraid to walk in to an AD and try on watches.
 Already got an earful with only 2 Rolexes.
