After almost a year wait...finally my BLNR!!

Long story short my local AD offered me a BLNR (which I wanted so badly) about a year or so ago, however I was expecting my second child and didn’t think it was the right time nor the most responsible thing to do. That was then - this is now!! He kept me on his waitlist, called me a week ago...here she is!!

Great piece! Enjoy! This is currently my favorite Rolex. I think the color scheme will really stand the test of time. Though I love the Pepsi, my wife always told me she disliked the colors of my departed 1675.

congrats!

Seems to me there are a lot of incoming threads for BLNRs, is rolex playing catch up to hot ss sports? will we see a lot more ss BLRO and 500c 2-3 years from now?
