Incoming!! Happy To Be a Part of This Club!
I've read people talk about what it feels like to get "The Call", and was very hopeful that my day would come soon. Turns out today was my lucky day!

My sales associate texted me to check in and see how my last purchase (116503) was doing, and if I was busy this afternoon... That was all it took, I was in my car and on my way! I love every watch in my collection, and the BLNR normally gets the most wrist time. But the BLRO is really a different kind of beautiful.

Big shout out to Debra @ Wixon Jewelers in Bloomington, MN, as well as the rest of their team (Dustin, Shawn, etc.). They really know how to treat their customers and are all passionate watch geeks that love to talk watches when they can.

Thank you everyone! My wife commented that she's never seen me this excited for a watch before, and that's saying something!

Congrats! Less than 30 days in and it's been my daily since. Colors aren't as vibrant as I expected, but they lighten up a tad bit in the sunlight.

Congrats on yours as well! I looked at a million pictures in the last few months and have to say I love the colors. The darker red and blue look amazing together, and then the way it brightens up in the sun is amazing!
