Congrats on the BLNR and welcome!
Is this an AD? Only asking because of the watches wrapped in plastic.

Congrats!. A pretty good selection right there. If this was in the US, it’ll be bought out in an hour.

Oddly, Bucherer did that when I was looking at some Blancpains.

Same, I’ve never seen that before I suppose it’s possible.

OP, let’s see a wrist shot of your BLNR in the wild.

Oh, and welcome to the forum

I would take the GRNR... I had the chace to try it on and it's a pretty amazing piece. It's one of the few TT I would buy. The gold details on the jubilee are stunning.

Thanks!

Yes an AD, the GRNR is pretty readily available as I've seen it at 2 ADs here.....do have a small collection going, Batgirl being my 6th Rolex, sadly don't wear them much as you can see just store them in a safety deposit and the way they have been stored will probably make people scream in here 😆 I do keep all the boxes/cards/papers safe though

Strange, that’s not a Rolex tray and the watches have the stickers removed but are wrapped in plastic?

Also strange is that the BLNR is set at a different time on your wrist but the date is not correct. When an AD sells a watch it is set for you by them while being sized.

Something Arabic. Likely an Emirati/Bahraini/Qatari/Kuwaiti seal.

OP: Out of curiosity, which country is "the old country?"

Congrats on the bat girl.

If you don't mind me asking, what is the price you paid for the blnr because in some GCC countries like KSA and Bahrain, ADs sell Rolex watches with a premium as Rolex official pricing is not always adhered to by the ADs

They may do things differently, in ADs, in the Middle East.

Sorry for delayed response

Seems like my posts need to go through a moderator now 😕

The Arabic stands for Fahd as in King Fahd of Saudi Arabia, a gift from His Royal Higness to my father....

And I'm sorry but I am enjoying all the guess work on where I purchased the watch from, so let me leave you with another clue.....

It's not in the GCC where I work and reside but a south Asian country once ruled by the British

Traveling straight back so didn't bother with time/date but did resize and removed a link
