[Incoming] It's been a great month (14060, BLNR)
Just wanted to share -
I work at a company that provides a paid 1-month leave once you complete a full 5 years with good performance reviews. I just kicked mine off a couple weeks ago, and the wife and I went to Japan. From the east I have brought back: E-serial Rolex 14060 from 1990. Original tritium dial and hands, though the pip / bezel has been replaced. Full kit - matching box and papers. Over the moon with this one. Coming from the 116719 BLRO and a 114060 Submariner; it's weird but kind of nice to have such a light and comfortable, small watch that has that trademark "rattle".  As soon as we got back from the states, my AD let me know that a BLNR that I put myself on the list for, arrived; so we went and picked that one up. The BLNR is for the wife, so we now have his & hers GMT watches:  I gotta say, it's been a pretty good break so far :) (Great for the soul, bad for the wallet) |

thanks so much everyone! wife is absolutely over the moon with her BLNR - she's been a loyal omega snoopy fan (has both eyes on the stars and silver award speedies), but this is her first rolex and she can't get over how "special" the whole ownership process feels. and she loves the blue on the batman (which i admit, is a much nicer shade of blue than the blurple of my blro)
cheers everyone, thanks again! |
