Thank you and good luck with the BLRO, I hope it comes in quicker.
It's a fantastic piece and my go to watch at the moment!

Thanks for the info

Just so I’m clear, the info relayed is saying they will receive exactly the same number of BLROs in total but they expect half to be oyster, other half jubilee

I honestly thought the total number of BLROs would increase. Maybe 4-5 extra per year on oyster

That's correct, no additional BLROs and a potential longer wait ifnyour fixed on a particular variant of bracelet.

Very interesting

I thought this was a way to up production without affecting scarcity. Seems to be the other way!

Imagine trying to get oyster BLRO now.

I don't have to imagine it LOL!

If I don't die of old age first, I will inform the community.

Indeed, it was tough to get but slightly more realistic for me over the SKYD blue or Daytona SS.
Oyster or jubilee, both variants will be difficult in equal meaure imo at retail

Yes. It could be that your information source heard different or spoke to someone different at Rolex at a different time. My AD's Rolex buyer is usually accurate. The operative word being usually. I hope your prediction proves to be the more accurate. I hope it also proves to be conservative.

My AD said on my last visit, which was to pick up my BLRO from its RSC visit:
1. My SA said with no prompting from me that they firmly believe there have been three distinct bezel insert versions on the BLRO. He says my December ‘18 pick up is MK II.
2. My SA and another both said they are selling plenty of watches but almost all are sold in advance. There wasn’t much in the cases, they said they sell maybe a dozen a week to walk ins.
3. When the new OP’s were introduced last fall they seemed to be getting an ample supply. I turned down the Coral Red 41 I wanted because it came in quicker than expected and I had just made an unrelated large purchase. They became allocation pieces at the beginning of the year and they were told they would get only 30 41’s this year of all colors. My wait for one now will now get much longer.

As a matter of interest, assuming we share an AD, where did you get your El Primero from? I've got an itch.

Congratulations.
