Have been to local AD trying on a few watches to purchase for a special milestone and I've finally decided on getting the 126719BLRO meteorite dial. Did not try this exact reference but the blue dialed BLRO and a platinum DD with meteorite dial, I'm sure it will be stunning combo. A big bonus is that bezel colours and the meteorite has clear meaning for this deal I'm celebrating, almost like it was made for this purpose.

So now the long(?) wait begins. AD had one (and only so far) recently that was sold. Got the impression next one would be for me. They said they didn't know when next one is coming and didn't want to be pushy as they were very polite about it.

Does anyone have a good assumption how often ADs can expect these on average? It is an independent but not so small dealer for this area.

TswaneNguni · 30 July 2019, 09:12 PM

Havent seen it in the metal ..yet.Have to see it first before I comment .

You have to see it first before you buy .

GFONG · 30 July 2019, 09:14 PM

Great choice. Huge congrats!

jvb.nc · 30 July 2019, 09:27 PM

i’m awaiting the arrival of mine at my AD; as with you he could not be specific about precise date of incoming. it could be any time, but my AD is in a smaller market, so it certainly wasn’t in the first wave that have hit buyer’s wrists.

it really is utterly exquisite in every way. it’s my 40th birthday present to myself.

JayHantz · 30 July 2019, 09:40 PM

Excellent choice and the best is that it sings to you and means a lot based on this goal you have reached. I am excited to see your incoming! (hopefully sooner rather than later)

Flybak · 30 July 2019, 10:01 PM

Looking forward to seeing photos when you get it. Congrats on achieving your milestone!

GP13 · 30 July 2019, 10:06 PM

Great choice! I am waiting to see one at my AD of choice as well. Most ADs will probably only get a few a year...

Tenebris Equum · 30 July 2019, 10:08 PM

I must say it is starting to grow on me, let's hope you don't have to wait long.

watchwatcher · 30 July 2019, 10:15 PM

It is a beautiful watch. My AD said he does not expect to see many of these, unfortunately.

I guess you can always hope, right? Good luck,

Lgear080 · 30 July 2019, 10:17 PM

I’d expect a minimum of 12-18 months... with a relationship

Sure, have to see it first but from all indicators it will be a beauty

That's what I'm thinking too. Maybe less than 10 combined with blue dial.

Let's hope not that long. I don't think this piece is on that many peoples radar since there is the SS.

my AD ordered one at basel. one. i called him the day of the public release whilst he was there and he thought i wanted batman!

Lgear080 · 31 July 2019, 02:02 AM

The frequency of this piece is going to be low.

Mr.Rolex1 · 31 July 2019, 02:13 AM

Wow big congrats
This one really looks better in person

enjoythemusic · 31 July 2019, 02:32 AM

Congrats!!! Wow, great timepiece!

Boaters · 31 July 2019, 02:39 AM

That one pictured has an awesome dial lots of striations.

huba01 · 31 July 2019, 02:50 AM

I was offered one by my AD , but passed on it as I want the new BLNR .
Amazing dial though, really special.

yOyOYoo · 31 July 2019, 02:58 AM

Beautiful watch, my favorite GMT by far.

Jster · 31 July 2019, 03:05 AM

The more I see that watch the more I like it!

mjclark32 · 31 July 2019, 03:07 AM

Such a gorgeous piece. Unfortunately I agree that ADs probably don't get too many of them... Good luck

Toony · 31 July 2019, 03:09 AM

Tried it on yesterday. It’s very nice.

ap1 · 31 July 2019, 03:09 AM

Stunning. Wait till Mayer gets a hold of one

samson66 · 31 July 2019, 03:19 AM

It's amazing looking but I do have to wonder if it will be hard to read the time? Just looks like the hands get lost in that dial

briweed · 31 July 2019, 03:21 AM

My AD told me they will get only 1 of these this year.
