Congrats. Hope you're able to hold out until your birthday. You'd have better discipline than I would.

Thanks guys. Just realized that the serial is visible in some of the images. Is that an issue? Everybody always seems to blur them.

What a great birthday present! The BLNR is one of the best modern references. You’re going to love it!

The decision to go with one of TRF's most trusted sellers (DavidSW) sure paid off. Incredibly fast delivery.
Brand new piece and god, it is STUNNING! Absolutely love it.
The thing I'm most surprised about is how shiny the black part of the bezel ist. Almost silver at times.

Here are some pics! Also compared it to my Black Bay S&G for size.
Could not be happier. Thanks again TRF!









Promised myself I wouldn't wear it until my birthday (April 15). More waiting, but much easier now that it's here :D
Yes, David is quick. I spoke to him at 2:30PM PST on a Thursday and had Watch on wrist before 10AM the next day. From Florida to California

My Rolex journey has been a rather odd one. I got into watches couple of years ago. From the start, I was 100% certain that I would never own a Rolex. I just didn't like what you typically associate with the brand or people who wear them (please don't kick me out and keep reading).

Over the years, I bought 2 Omegas (Speedy Pro & Seamaster PO GMT), 2 Breitlings (Superocean Heritage 46 & Transocean 1461), a Tudor (Black Bay Heritage S&G), a Sinn (104), a Tag Heuer (Link) and some Seikos (SKX, Samurai, Cocktail Time). And while I love all of these watches, the more I learned about Rolex, its history and its horological significance, the more intrigued I was. It was clear: I needed to have one.

I've been hunting a BLNR for months now here in Australia and it's almost impossible. They sell used ones 15% over MSRP and new ones at 30-40%.
After doing some research here one the forum and the countless people very happy with purchasing watches from DavidSW, I ordererd mine from him yesterday. And what can I say, I'm beyond excited!

it will be a gift to myself for my 35th birthday next week. Can't wait!
Congrats and happy birthday.

I am from Australia too, may I know about the custom duty when you purchase it from DavidSW?

I am keen to know, if you dont mind.
