Not yet. Supply is very slow in Canada!
Should be in Aug that’s when I got the 116500LN in 2016.

Overall I like the look of the watch but I’ll be honest, even with these “newer” lugs they still look too thick and a bit odd with the jubilee bracelet. This is of course my opinion but part of the reason why I like the 16710 is because of the slimmer profile, they shaved the lugs for the SD43 wonder why they couldn’t do the same for the BLRO.

I’m with you, after seeing the sd43 lugs I was hoping Rolex would start updating the rest of the line, but I guess not.

To me the jubilee bracelet does help to remove the squarish look of the case, the oyster seems to emphasize it more

Got the call today. Picking up tomorrow.
It was easier to get from my AD than the Hulk. When I placed my Pepsi order, I was given first refusal on a Hulk if one came in. (they don't expect any Hulks any time soon, if ever).

Congrats in advance!

I've been on the waitlist since day 1 for this one. We'll see how long it takes (still haven't received my Daytona call 2 years later).

Boy what was I thinking...

Always been a huge watch enthusiast but Rolex never appealled to me except the new ceramic Daytona. Even though my father owns a Rose gold Yacht master.

Than the Pepsi happened this year. Usually I take 378 days to decide but this time I just went for it on day 2 of Baselworld. Paid 25% of the amount in non refundable deposit.

Reality struck later on when I began browsing this forum and I realised my watch will probably be arriving in 2023

I wish you a great wait ! :D

Same here in NZ. Both ADs in Auckland told me that they cannot sell me this watch

Just got back from my ad.

They took out a tablet with ETAs. Been quoted April 19.

Let's see if it really turns out to be true...

I got on the waitlist at two different AD's within the first hour of release at Basel. I literally went into the stores and asked to "be put on the list for the watch that was released half an hour ago"

I don't expect to get it anytime soon though, even though my girlfriend works in one of them

I've been on a waiting list since an April reveal at my one of two ADs I've purchased from, I'm definitely not holding my breath. I think I was no. 50, maybe 40 will bail.

Present. Bought a different watch and asked to be put down on the list a couple of days after Basel. They say I'm not too far down but very few have come in.

Count me in. Not dying since I’ve acquired my Daytona C and SD43 in the last couple of months so patience is easier.

I am waiting on a white Daytona too... getting impatient. I think once that comes in I will be a lot more settled.

Patiently waiting.

If anyone on the list ended up buying theirs, please consider the link in my signature. (Sorry for the shameless self-plug)

patiently waiting.

and like so many who have said so, i rang my AD whilst he was on the floor at Basel (i could hear sausages cooking) and he said “you’re on the list already, but it’ll be a little while.”

fast forward more than a year (and a 116500 white dial) and he has assured me that i shall have my 126710BLRO by the end of the year. which is all well and good.

i also told him in march that i was on board with the 126719BLRO as well and i expect that literally any time now.

*sigh* it’s a bit of a palaver really but my guy is solid and i enjoy the business we have done together.
