Incoming!!! Wow!
I purchased a Sub Date from my AD a little over a year ago and brought up casually at the time that I was in the market for a GMT as well. Over the next few months I would stop by periodically to chat with the assumption that he remembered what I wanted as my next piece but never explicitly brought it up. About two weeks ago, I dropped by again and we had our usual banter, and he asked me if there was a particular piece I was looking for as I hadn't asked for anything the last few trips. When I reminded him of the GMT on Oyster, he hinted that he may have something available and that I shouldn't take any distant trips in the next few days.
A few days later, I called him to see if there was an update, and he apologized saying that the client who a BLNR had been allocated to picked it up last minute though I was "next in line". Given today's Rolex climate I wasn't expecting much. 4 days after that conversation, I got another text: not for a BLNR but for BLRO. Needless to say I am ecstatic! |

Happy for you, congrats. Funny thing is I would like the same watch a blnr on oyster and if they offered a blro I don’t know what I would do. I’m 80% sure I would pass as that’s not the one I really wanted. I’m sure it’s great though, good luck.

I bet the guy who was allocated the BLNR wishes he’d waited for the BLRO. Well done OP
