Have you seen a 126710BLRO in the wild?

[thesharkfactor]

I wear mine daily but it’s mostly always hidden under a sleeve. No one sees it.

[1William]

I see them routinely at watch club events and at my AD, on customers wrists.

[fishingbear]

I’ve only seen one 126710BLRO other than mine.
I do see the 5 digit GMTs here and there.

[monsieur_z]

Spotted a few in Singapore recently in Ion, Taka and Bugis.

Haven't noticed any when traveling to France, USA, Italy. Not even in lounges.

Once at a coffee shop. I was never into the watch, but that changed then. It’s a great looking watch. It’s got (for lack of a better word) presence.

[rolexjackson]

I’ve seen maybe a dozen or so out in the wild. It’s clearly a very popular reference.


Life is short, buy the watch.

I live in Seattle, the only time I see people wearing nice watches is when we vacation in Naples Florida. I can go months without seeing anyone with a Rolex.

Ceramic Pepsi? Just once, and surprisingly, I saw one on a young guy ( early twenties? ) with his skateboard in a parking lot. Did a double take….could’ve been fake but I couldn’t tell and was really studying it. Really nice looker.

[fly4food84]

I see more Daytonas than Pepsis.

[MRBolton]

I think I've seen it 3, maybe 4 times, since I started looking for them on people's wrist around 2019.

I've been scouting everywhere I've been since 2019 or so. For BLRO:
1. In costco at honolulu, some young asian guy had one walking in
2. United Polaris Lounge, older Asian gentlemen had it on
3. Lisbon, Portugal older European guy had it on, dressed very well
4. My own wrist all the time!

I live in bay area where tons of people have money and have never seen one out in wild here. Also keep in mind who knows how many are real in terms of rolex watches. I've spoken with a watchmaker here who services a ton of watches for all brands and he estimates 6 or 7 out of 10 rolex watches are fake which is a crazy high number

[Onequik135i]

Never other then a local buddies, he purchased a naked example from a local dealer.

[rohada]

One…mine.

[ltmgeller]

I've seen quite a few

[gossler]

Last Summer traveling in Germany, I saw two. I distinctly remember where I saw one as I was blown away by the look of the watch. A gentlemen in Munich, sunny day in a beer garden. I said to my self, what a beautiful watch.
The other was on a lady's wrist.

Thankfully my AD came through for me, and right in time for my 40th 5 months ago!

[S.Explorer]

No not the steel version, but I have seen the white gold version (blue dial) in the wild.

[DC116710LN]

Only once and it was being worn by a gentleman browsing in my AD. We had a brief conversation and he told me how lucky he felt to have it

[Krash]

I saw one at the local supermarket. I was standing in line and the guy in front of me had one on. I have to admit, it is much more stunning in person than what you see on the internet.

I wear mine daily but I've never seen anybody else with one. I see a ton of Submariners, Daytonas, and BLNRs. Have also seen several Explorer IIs surprisingly.

[EvelynWaugh]

Nope, not once.

I was gonna make the point about all the less-than-authentic Rolex watches riding around on the general public’s wrists. This may account for how many more white dial SS Daytonas have been seen in the wild vs BLRO, because based on secondary market pricing VS. MSRP the Daytona is even more rare. There are some shockingly convincing super clones of the Daytona out there and if someone is the type of person to buy a fake and wear it like the real thing, might as well wear a fake of a more expensive piece for the faux flexing lol.

The only place I’ve seen Rolls Royce Phantoms parallel parking on the street.

[sgt10p]

None. But now I'm retired and travelling for 6 months of the year I see very few Rolex. In fact only 2 Date justs and one TT Sub this year!

[slus]

One time, on a guy walking down the street in Napa. It was a real stunner, bezel gleaming in the sun, he saw me looking and we exchanged a nod. I had just got married maybe a month or two before that, and my wife started getting pissed thinking I was checking out the guy's girlfriend, then fully disgusted when I started talking in watch model numbers again.
