Blnr

Got a call from my AD that my BLNR I ordered 5 months ago is ready for pick up. But I bought one three months ago. I had to take a pass. Trying to get on a wait list for a SD 43.

5 months!!! I strolled into an AD today and saw one, second AD to have one in a week...tried it on after drooling over it from pics on here. I've got to say, as much as I love the black/blue ceramic dial I'm not a fan of the huge numbers and PCLs...which is kind of a bummer because I was looking at this as my potential next piece.

Yeah, Op is Canadian. Rolexes are meaningfully cheaper there, so finding the popular models is harder.

(See also: why folks in the UK sometimes struggle to find even a basic black sub.)

That's a bummer..I was aware of folks in the UK struggling to find some of the SS Subs but man, our Canadian friends too..that stinks.

5 months is still crazy for a blnr. I asked my Canadian AD about one two weeks ago and he said come get it.

Also, with the current exchange rates and 13% tax in Ontario...the difference is meh.

My BLNR took 2 weeks from a Vegas Boutique. Crazy how there is such variance for wait time between stores from different parts of the world selling the same product.
