Hello, I signed up the first day BLRO was announced with my local AD after the watch was advertised at Basel World 2018. I also purchased an Explorer 1 and Datejust 41 over the past year and checked in with the AD at least monthly and bought coffee a few times for the staff when I stopped by their store. A few years ago I purchased a BLNR from this AD also.

I truly enjoy working with my AD and their staff. They have been extremely nice to work with and I have referred a number of my watch friends to them with similar experiences. I am not a whale or anything like that. I think if you demonstrate that you are genuinely passionate about Rolex and not flipping it.

I am proof that any person can obtain your grail Rolex watch and not have to go Grey. I started to wonder if this was a possibility too, but having it on my wrist has made me feel so much better about Rolex and availability. I would recommend anyone can I do what I have done. You have to be patient and build up a relationship. It works :+)

Good to see Rolex is shipping product earlier in 2019 than in previous years. Always seemed in the past they didn't ship for the first 3 weeks of January.

Congrats! I’m hopeful that mine will soon arrive at the dealer given that 2019 shipments have begun. Enjoy it!

Congratulations OP. Beautiful watch indeed. You seem to be the no nonsense fellow that attaches no stories to the watch and is just plain delighted to wear one.
