My name is on the waiting list for a BLNR for about 6 months now, so hopefully only 18 to wait at the most ��

This has been worn every day for more than 2 years. The clasp and bracelet are marked up some but I think it still looks great!

Some Cape Cod cloths would work miracles if you'd want to buff some of the scratches out on the clasp. I use it +- once a year on my polished surfaces of the Milgauss, works really fine.

But it still does look great after 2 years!

Bought my BLNR yesterday at my AD I'm tormenting myself to wait for Christmas to receive and wair it :D Stoked to be a BLNR owner after wanting one for more than 2 years.

Congratulations! I’ll likely just leave it and let them clean it up whenever it needs service. It’ll look the same in no time anyway. I’m fairly hard on watches.....

Got the call right before Christmas, and picked this one up on the 27th. No need to say that it was the best Christmas gift ever (from myself to myself)
What a great watch!

Love my new GMT II, BLNR

Good Morning Rolex crew! I have been reading the forum for a while now, and finally decided to post. I just picked up a new Rolex, the GMT II BLNR. I purchased my first Rolex, the Explorer II 6 years ago and have been wearing it daily. I several months I have been looking to get something new and was set on the Daytona with a while dial. I have been obsessively reading the forums, researching prices at resellers, and calling AD's. Not wanting to pay such a significant premium to a reseller and having no luck sourcing the Daytona from an AD, I decided I would go for the GMT II BLNR! I was able to get one from my local Torneau 2 weeks after inquiring about the piece. They were willing to ship to CT to save me tax, and they even had an 18 month no interest promo through TD bank. So far I am very happy with the watch. Having worn the previous gen Explorer II for years, this is a nice change. The watch has a larger presence on the wrist. I like the solid center links and adjustable deployment clasp.
