The BLRO is 'THE' GMT in my humble opinion. Congrats

Were you (Are you) concerned you may now be in the doghouse with AD should they find out somehow? I think you did a smart move and played the cards you were dealt. Enjoy , looks great

I am a little concerned, but tend to lean towards thinking it would be fine if they found out. The SA I've worked with knew I wanted the Pepsi for the last two years, and even said she was happy to finally get me a GMT but was sorry it wasn't the one I was truly after. So, I think she may understand. It's not like I took the GRNR and just sold it outright, which definitely would have put me in the doghouse. Plus, it's now one less person hounding them for a BLRO! :)

Very nice! I gave my son my 16750 BLRO for his college graduation so I think I need to start the hunt for a new replacement.

Probably not the next time (not on purpose, anyway), but at some point.

I would have that in SS and GRNR in TT, in SS it is a bit too stealthy and flat for me.

I would have kept the GRNR, as it came from an AD, and I like it. Congrats, though, if it’s what you wanted. Hope you didn’t have to give the dealer any cash, and hope you didn’t damage your relationship with your AD by flipping the brand new GRNR.

Does any AD every worry about being out of my graces by not being able to get me the watches I want in a reasonable time frame. I think not. The AD relationship dance many do is just that, until the music stops and they are left out on a popular or hard to get watch.
