Congrats !!

shkure · 25 April 2019, 01:12 AM

I had the exact same issue with the clasp as you. The dealer removed 1 oyster link from 12 and added it at 6 a clock side. Since you have a jubilee bracelet, i suspect you need to do it with 2 links.

Really beautiful! Congratulations!

Didn't we read here a lot lately it seems that there have been many more incomings and supply of these is improving. If you want one perhaps an AD is doable if you have a little patience. Maybe not who knows. I bought one in January just sitting in an AD's case unsold. New Rolex policy I am told. Put everything in the case and no lists.

Congratulations!

I think the OP purchased gray not through an AD FWIW

Congrats on finding one in an AD case unspoken for. That’s a real unicorn

That's awesome - hope to be that lucky one of these days! I was always confused at how people could walk in and buy hot models in the case. Mentioned this when I was getting the pepsi sized at the AD and he said it's all over the place..

1. Some AD's don't do lists and just put everything in the case.
2. Some AD's pull the bundling game for the hot pieces
3. Some AD's have a "list" but really offer up the pieces to their VIP clients

Sounded like they were in the camp of #3. He said that they have customers that spend hundreds of thousands with them and noted that those folks would be unhappy if a hot piece was sold to average joe shmoe just walking in.... To an extent, I understand that logic. It sucks and I don't like it... but it is what it is.

I asked if they have been seeing more BLNR and BLRO or if they are expecting to because of the fact that they are the only two GMT's in production now. He said he wasn't sure and wouldn't be surprised if those in search still end up waiting a few years before getting theirs. I hope they end up shipping out more and they are more readily available for the greater community. But in the mean time - I'll sit here and enjoy mine :)

Correct

RichM · 25 April 2019, 01:40 AM

Congratulations

I’d say leave it. Your 4th picture shows the blade under the clasp is centered.

Psmith · 25 April 2019, 04:38 AM

Congrats

For those of you that have the jubilee - how does your clasp look? I got it sized and the clasp isn't in the center. They told me it's normal / is the way it should be as the clasp underside (not fully visible) is center although optically it is not.

How it sits on the wrist

Looking at the underside of the clasp is actually center

Congrats on the BLRO! I have also done business with Chase in the past.

My AD said GTFO. But in a nice way, of course.

ocwatching · 25 April 2019, 05:08 AM

congrats...my blade under the clasp is centered on my wrist which will result in a slightly off centered clasp for both the daytona and gmt

I have plenty of that also - doesn't mean I am going to spend 16K on some SS Rolex watch that just tells me the time. If the AD gets me one, fine, but I'm no social worker here to enrich the greys. You can get better value for money for that amount.

I follow a couple of them on IG and they sit front row at games and drive Lambo's .. that just makes me laugh cause they add zero value to the chain just like real estate agents and financial advisors. Still, everyone defends then and feels they are needed...

That being said its a beautiful watch and I am sure you will enjoy it.

GarageBMW · 25 April 2019, 07:12 AM

congratulations, looking great.

Castlesinthesky · 25 April 2019, 08:04 AM

Loving my BLRO, hope you enjoy yours just as much. Congrats.

Carry The Interest · 25 April 2019, 08:49 AM

Big congrats on the BLRO!

Agree with some that the clasp does look a bit odd to me. None of my 6-digit reference models that have been sized look like that, but I also don't own the BLRO (yet!) so no experience with the new jubilee + sports clasp.

sensui · 25 April 2019, 08:50 AM

Good one. Looks great on the wrist.

KBurke · 25 April 2019, 09:12 AM

Great acquisition! Chase is a stand up guy and a pleasure to work with him.

Enjoy this terrific watch!

Congrats what a beauty!

I think the enjoyment of wearing it will continue long after the pain of the grey price has been forgotten.

Yup
