Incoming BLRO for Christmas (photos)
Yesterday I received a call from my Tokyo AD. He mentioned that he would like to give me a 2024 calendar and "stuff". This is not uncommon as he often gives me the Rolex magazine and other goodies from time to time. When I arrived, we made small talk, informed me that prices would again increase by 10% on Jan 1. Then went into the back and brought out "the tray" with the watch covered. OMG, a watch was not on my mind when visiting. Then he uncovered the BLRO and said it was the first he had seen in months. Speechless. A couple days late but Santa delivered. The long wait is over and now in the BLRO "club" with a lot of other TRF'ers . Oh, and did get a '24 calendar. Although I haven't yet looked at it

Nice man. Cool way to present the watch to you.
How long was the wait time for your BLRO?

Wow congrats!! And the lighting on your second photo is proof positive we need a ceramic coke GMT in 2024. It looks almost red/black in that light and it’s perfection.
