Incoming: Rolex 116719 BLRO

Just picked up a Rolex GMT-II 116719 WG BLRO. I have owned a lot of PM watches over the years from Platinum, YG, RG and WG. I had worked my way down to a YG DD II as my only PM watch and was happy just having one and a few, 9 SS watches, in my collection. I have always admired the BLRO from afar and had the chance to add it to the collection. I did not want to trade a watch so I made up my mind that I would pay cash for it and keep the collection together and add one. I am please so far, a few hours, and like the look and the wear of the watch. Only time will tell but this appears to be a keeper.
