Pepsi

My all time favorite Rolex was given to me on my BDAY by the local boutique. Love this bad boy and while i'm not a big Rolex guy, haven't taken it off my wrist.

"i'm not a big Rolex guy".........

While hundreds of TRF fanatics have been waiting over a year and are still empty handed.

Congrats! I just "special ordered" a watch with my AD and I told him I was wishing it would arrive for my birthday as its my present to myself. AD told me Rolex likes to try to accommodate special requests and keep their AD's in good relation with there clients. I felt at least Rolex was providing some acknowledgment of their paying customers!

Congrats! I’m assuming it’s a boutique that also stocks AP?

Happy birthday and congrats! Look great.

My birthday is on Saturday and I’ve been on “the list” for over a year..... maybe one day.

That is a wonderful birthday gift. And a loyal client deserves to be treated with respect, and wonderful that your AD and Rolex honor your special occasion. Now the Pepsi will have even more special meaning to you.

Congratulations!

Cheers,
Carl

Congratulations!

Clearly looks like a MK1 although purchased today. 😂

No such thing as a MK1 and Mk2!

Nuts, Im also in Irvine, and every dealer wont even add me to a list for this watch. I have been on 7+ month wait lists for a Hulk and BLNR (likely cancelled since that version is gone), I am looking to get either watch as I have none.

As others have mentioned, definitely a lot more incomings of BLRO. Not a lot but showing up more frequent.

OP - you broke many TRF hearts with your dual statement.

1. I got a BLRO
2. I’m not a Rolex guy

The two are incompatible here
