So close to getting my GMT BLNR

[gregvisser]

I have been looking at the BLNR for a bit now (on here!!!!) and have love for it. Step 1 was to raise some funds for it. Sold my Pam190. Funds check. Step 2: buy the watch. This is not easy. No one in New Zealand has one for sale. And I am on a right timeline: I need to buy one to coincide with my overseas travel in August to get it GST free - else it is silly $$ which makes the US MSRP look cheap.

I think a handful have come into the country and they have flown out of the shops as soon as they land. Anyhow, had my name down at a few ADs and playing the waiting game worrying if my timing will work out. Thing is, the ADs don't know what's coming in from Rolex until they get the parcel. And they got no BLNRs last month. So it was dire.

Well, got the call today that one AD has one coming in and it should be in the shop a week from now. Yay!!! It seems to have worked out!

Sorry for the nearly new watch post. But I am a little excited. And my girlfriend thinks the BLNR looks cheap with the multi colour bezel so I'm not getting a lot of excitement there! LOL. But then she also thinks the WG/Blue sub looks cheap!

I will post pics when it lands.
