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.

love it!

Congratulations Edward, I agree it’s a beauty

JPS · 25 November 2022, 08:03 AM

Wonderful pick up.

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

rohada · 25 November 2022, 08:09 AM

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.

arcampado · 25 November 2022, 08:05 AM

Congrats on the BLRO! Have patience on the Daytona, that would complete a perfect trio

Harry-57 · 25 November 2022, 08:16 AM

Congratulations. Seven months from an AD is good going.

Paulr1980 · 25 November 2022, 08:18 AM

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

Thanks guys!

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.

watch3r · 25 November 2022, 08:28 AM

Congrats, 7 months is not very long, you scored!

DHISTORY · 25 November 2022, 10:30 AM

Congrats OP! Amazing how long they have been unobtainable for (since 2018). Day

Trailboss516 · 25 November 2022, 10:44 AM

Beautiful

Calatrava r · 25 November 2022, 11:07 AM

Seven months is not long for this one. That Daytona may be in sooner than you think. Big congrats.

Stan Cooper · 25 November 2022, 11:19 AM

Congratulations! The BLRO is my favorite reference.

You don't need anything else.

lmcgbaj · 25 November 2022, 11:52 AM

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

the_natural · 25 November 2022, 11:54 AM

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.

danwang0520 · 25 November 2022, 11:59 AM

I also have a Sub(116610LV) and a GMT(126710BLNR)........I'm still waiting to get a Daytona as well

Dont't give up!

Current collection: 1) Rolex Submariner(116610LV), 2) Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch Professional(311.30.42.30.01.006), 3) Rolex GMT-Master II(126710BLNR), 4) Breitling B01 Navitimer 43(AB0138211B1A1)

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 :)
