Congrats, I'm enjoying mine as a daily wearer. Just don't freak pit when the plc's get scratches from wear. It's gonna happen. Don't forget to insure it for loss or damage. Get an appraisal for replacement value. Cheers

As am I. It’s been almost a month and starting to see the hairline scratches on the PLCs. Then I looked at my trusty Omega I wore for ten years and laughed! I love this watch!

I spoke to watches of switzerland in royal exchange and goldsmiths in oxford. Both quoted me a 3 year waiting list, although I didn’t try any harm tactics like “I have cash ready” (if they even work?).

This is crazy especially when there are plenty available online - but do you think the markup is worth it?

I noticed BNLR is no longer on the Rolex website after Baselworld 2018. Is this a sign?

I hope you hold on to this and wear it/love it! Don't be another guy flipping his BLNR for $1500-$2000 profit out of the gate, just makes me sad. Gotta enjoy that beautiful black and blue beast!

Very nice and the BLNR is the perfect everyday watch, specially if dont feel like throwing on an AP or PM watch in general. Congrats

That is fake new. It is on the site though it may not be trivial to get to the configurator to select the Batman/Pepsi/Black bezel.

Crissing my fingers for some stort of "no new BLNR" orders after Basel 2019.

Congratulations! Who knows, it might be one of the last blnr incomings if the rumor is true!
