Congratulations! Those are some of the best real world pics of the BLRO I have seen.

Apparently these are making their way to South Africa in the not too distant future. Can't wait

Mostly pics, but a few thoughts…

The watch is amazing in person so im glad from the wait from the first demo model i saw in real life to delivery of mine was only two days so the wait was not that hard.

Ive always loved the WG BLRO, but having a SS LN already, the oyster bracelet on the WG version was the one thing holding me back from a second GMT II. IMO the jubilee is the perfect bracelet for this watch and although i had never been a jubilee fan previously this watch has me converted for sure.

As for the colors, anyone who as seen or owned the WG version, this is no surprise as its the same bezel. Pics do not capture it that well but to me they are perfect and unless you are buying the watch with the intention of its social media pic value instead of real life wearing experience then the watch is a winner.

The bracelet is blingy AF, so its not an understated Rolex by any measure and it reminds me a lot of a RO bracelet with the way the light reflects off it.

Yes, i got to keep my warranty card. My AD has also been sitting on it for the past two weeks and wanted to wait until after the Rolex lunch I went to on Monday before giving it to me. They didn’t want to tell me not to wear it, but if i did they also didn’t want to upset their other customers who would be there and who had also requested it, but didn’t get it yet. So there are still good AD’s around.

Big congratulations Tyler! I saw your posts on IG yesterday and left you a note there and now giving you a second round of congrats!

One thing I'd love to know, especially since you own a SS LN, have you noticed any real difference in the case size/dimensions? I know everyone has been chatting for months on how the case is supposedly slightly different. From just the trained naked eye only, do you notice a difference? Enjoy the BLRO in good health!

I dont notice any actual difference at all. There might be but the only thing i notice is it wears bigger but that is because of the bracelet and the bezel.

It feels lighter than the oyster bracelet. I haven't weighed it but its lighter than i was expecting. The bracelet fits really well and jubilee is probably going to hold up better than a PCL oyster IMO

It was the basel new model event. My AD has been going through some pretty major renovations so they did not get the basel releases in their store. They organized an event at Rolex's event space just around the corner from the RSC in London. It was my AD's clients, but hosted by Rolex.
