Fellow WG Sub owners/admirers. I apologise for doubting you guys!!! (long read)

[theflywrist]

I did see it as a beautiful watch since always, especially since I have a thing for the blue, but I never thought of it as a watch I would want to buy for some reason.
For starters, it sometimes looked too blue; Also couldn't justify the money.

I came on here as a lurker, looking to see what people thought of the BLNR, and purchased it soon after.
I never thought I would spend more than that amount of money in my dreams, on a watch. But here we are today, months later, and a 5711 purchase later, looking for another watch.
Crazy how I went from trying so hard to justify the BLNR, to now looking for a third watch. We have all been there I guess.

The weight on this watch, with the stealth factor, and the blue color together with the beautiful white gold, are probably the best combination in a watch EVER!!

It was funny that initially the AD told me he doesn't understand why Rolex makes WG, and he practically dissed the watch, and how people would obviously prefer a YG watch if they were to pay that much money, otherwise just go SS.
Once I told him I would like to try it, he changed his mind and told me how stunning it is. =/

I immediately thought that I should really flip the 5711.. That is how stunning the watch is in the flesh.
It also fits my life style much better as a causal dresser.
Once I calmed down, I reminded myself how much I love the 5711, and how much harder it is/was for me to find in brand new, and that I have a lot of time to save up for the Smurf.

Being only 25, I have plenty of time to add the piece, and having just bought my Patek, it is very unlikely I will be adding the smurf anytime soon.

This is however my next watch. I will be back my friends!!!!! Wait for me, I will join the club!!

I think the smurf would make for a perfect trio.

Lovely pair.

I consider the 116619LB as my grail, hopefully I will achieve it very soon

[BuddaLun]

The Smurf is killer, for sure - it also really looks handsome on you.

Thanks man! I thought the TT bluesy was a handsome watch; This one is just a different level.
I tend to stay away from YG or RG at this point in my life.
Maybe it is because of my age, or maybe I like a stealthier watch, but I can't pull it off in my head.
This is perfect though.

It's a great addition to any collection. It's also my grail watch. When the opportunity presents itself, go for it.

Love the smurf and it would be a great piece in your collection!

Genuinely can't believe how little you have to do in life.
I feel bad for you really.
Here.

What does that thing cost? It looks great but outta my range... which is to say I couldn't justify it to the wife if she found out it was over $20K, which I'm certain it is. To be honest though justifying ANOTHER watch to her regardless of price is a likely impossibility.

Can actually be found for around $25K Pre owned.
Honestly, I had to really convince myself to buy my first watch, the BLNR. At 8K it felt way too much and I couldn't believe I did it.
Here I am today, my second one cost me 24K, and I am looking at the third.

Stay on this forum, and this will happen to you; And it WILL happen quick!

Looks amazing on you as well, thank you!
I absolutely agree.
I am extremely happy at this time with my current duo, and the Rolex serves as my go-to sports watch for now, but I am saving, and I will be adding the Smurf in the future for sure.
What a watch, and I know you've had yours for a while, but congrats on such beautiful time pieces.

The Smurf would make a great trio.

Well believe in the best from your wife. You can find this stupefying work of a watch for preowned on forums, internet dealers, or eBay auctions for as low as 24k. Best regards
