Hi all,

Been lurking in TRF for quite a while now and have enjoyed reading the various discussions and incoming announcements. This forum keeps me obsessed with Rolex.

I'm fairly new to collecting, but I've learned a lot from my own research as well as great insights to vintage Subs and Daytonas from my high school friend.

In 2016, I was fortunate to pick up a BLNR and about a month ago I was lucky to acquire the bad boy you see below.

The bezel is truly dynamic as others have mentioned on here, turning from vintage-like faded colors to darker, more modern blue and red like the new BB GMT. Depending on the lighting conditions, you can get some varied tones. Pictures don't do this thing justice IMO.

That's why I can't take the thing off!

Originally, I was going to try to get on the waiting list for a SD43, but my rep came through in a big way by getting me this piece.

Anyway, I'm pretty pumped to have these pieces and I hope those waiting for theirs don't have too much longer to go! Good luck, you never know what can happen!

Next up for me is the SD43 and Explorer.

Cheers!

Great pickup! I think your BLRO needs a wash! :P

Way to go. Congratulations on catching a much-coveted Rolex - maybe the most coveted, at this time. Beautiful GMT.

Thanks very much everyone!

Agreed, both my GMTs need a wash. Playing with the little one and my two cats takes a toll lol.
