A few months into the Submariner I banged the watch and the bezel flew off, insert popped out, and lost the springs/balls. I discovered this forum and took to my closest AD (hour away). Upon return of the Submariner from RSC, I began to eye the GMT II BLNR. The salesperson asked if I would like to register my interest and I agreed. She clearly told me it could be months to even longer than a year. Since then, I bought my wife an OP 34 and turned down a GMT VTNR back in June. Well 2 years and 4 days after my initial interest (have a receipt with the date on it when I picked up the Submariner), the text came last night that my BLNR could be picked up today, so here are some pictures. Needless to say the itch has been scratched (for now) and I am stoked. Will be worn and likely scratched as that does not bother me. Have a great day and thanks for the free education on all things Rolex!

CONGRATULATIONS!

It is a spectacular watch - I’ve had mine since July 2019 and it is still my favorite watch!
