Ad Stock and Incoming!!

Just stopped by the AD in Busan, Korea (Shinsaegae mall).

Was expecting the usual but to my surprise a case full of SS sport models!

Sub no date, sub date, exp 1, exp 2 both colors, milgauss, and....... BLNR!!!

I ended up purchasing the BLNR but the rest of the stock is still available as I type this.

I tried to take photos of the case to post but they wouldn’t allow it. They said the shipment just came in and they don’t do wait lists!

Will post pics of the incoming later!

No daytonas.. i wish . Honestly I’m in a state of shock at the moment. I’ve been on a waitlist for a blnr back home in the states for a while and practically gave up after basel announcement.

No wait list AD relationship BS - that’s how it should be and that’s how I got my BLNR, a walk-in-win.

Congrats !!!!!

Huge Congrats! This should be the proper AD experience. I really hope the SS supply will be back to normal soon.

Nice to see that there are still some AD’s who stick to normal business practice.

I am sure it will pay off for them in the long run.

Enjoy wearing it.

Congrats on the BLNR! Rare find...!

Miracles do happen! Congrats! You should have bought a couple more haha. This is how it should be, back to a couple of years ago.

I am going to do a very exciting incoming soon, also from an AD in Asia :)

Great result- gives me hope that I will get one of Oyster BLNR’s from an AD but I know it’s slim. I can’t bring myself to pay way over the odds for one from a grey, so I will wait

Very nice find! It seems like stories like this are very rare these days. I remember when it was commonplace to see a blnr in the display case. Not it virtually never happens.
