Incoming!

An unexpected but very welcome text from my AD just in time for Christmas!



Mentioned this model to my SA when we put my name down for my Submariner. Was told it wasn’t likely to happen given the high demand and my limited spend which wasn’t much of a surprise.

At the start of this year I reiterated my interest, but actually started browsing 16710s as I wasn’t getting any positive signs from the AD. Fast forward to this week - I got a text out of the blue and jumped on it!



Fantastic watch, pleasure to wear, surely one of the best models from Rolex. Might look to add a jubilee later on as the polished oyster is a scratch/fingerprint magnet and it would help to differentiate from the sub.

The BLRO joins my sub and speedmasters as a special occasion piece.. at least until the polished surfaces are less pristine.



Cheers

Congratulations a nice collection welcome to Club Pepsi ;) having both bracelets really has been nice for me but the oyster really doesn’t get put on much at all anymore.

Congrats on the BLRO! It’s far too nice of a watch for special occasions, so don’t worry about the scratches and wear the hell out of it

Many congrats on the Pepsi & don’t hide it away. West that beauty. I got mine 2 months ago from my AD on Jubilee & haven’t worn anything else. Yes it’s that good!

Thank you! Interested to know what you find tips the balance toward the jubilee?

Sure thing, it looks stunning on both but there is a bit more weight with it on the oyster so I have to wear it a little more snug for it to stay in place and not have to keep messing with it. With the jubilee it really is you put it on and forget about it it’s just so comfortable.

Congrats on your recent addition, and yes - I think mine will join part of the regular rotation!

Thank you! Very content with the collection and what it offers. At some point I’d like to own a gold watch, maybe from Lange or Patek, but happy for that to wait a number of years now
