That watch is so beautiful that TRF allows it to be posted even though the OP has under 10 posts...

Why does a post count matter? I mean I’ve been buying watches since 1992 and have over 10. But my post count is low and I’m not able to post for sale or reply in for sale ? You think a high post count vets a person ? Well I say not not at all. I’ve bought 2 from Tak and another from a member here as well. I’m curious why a person who has money, will spend and who maybe would like to add more or sell gets stymied by a low post count. I say if ur vetted by a buyer or seller and can verify who you are they should’ve been allowed to post

Lighten up. I thought it was a board software requirement that posters have 10 posts prior to posting a picture. My post was a complement on the beauty of the watch.

Hello, I signed up the first day BLRO was announced with my local AD after the watch was advertised at Basel World 2018. I also purchased an Explorer 1 and Datejust 41 over the past year and checked in with the AD at least monthly and bought coffee a few times for the staff when I stopped by their store. A few years ago I purchased a BLNR from this AD also.

I truly enjoy working with my AD and their staff. They have been extremely nice to work with and I have referred a number of my watch friends to them with similar experiences. I am not a whale or anything like that. I think if you demonstrate that you are genuinely passionate about Rolex and not flipping it.

I am proof that any person can obtain your grail Rolex watch and not have to go Grey. I started to wonder if this was a possibility too, but having it on my wrist has made me feel so much better about Rolex and availability. I would recommend anyone can I do what I have done. You have to be patient and build up a relationship. It works :+)

I agree! I wore mine at brunch today and felt sad for those who aren’t able to enjoy it on their wrists.
