Congratulations on the purchase. I happened to purchase mine last week. It also happens to be my first Rolex. I went in looking for the Rolex Milgauss 116400GV and wound up trying on both the Milgauss and the Black Ceramic GMT Master II. I liked the way the GMT Master II looked on my wrist but instead of purchasing outright that day, I decided to put in on lay-a-way while I did a bit more research.

My research led me to the GMT Master II BLNR and I fell in love with it as soon as I seen it. I called the AD and told them to order the BLNR and use the lay-a-way money to use as a deposit. The AD told me that there was a waiting list and they were unsure when they were getting any more in.

Fast forward a week and I'm getting antsy after seeing a few videos and posts saying that Rolex was rolling back production on some SS models (BLNR included) and dealers were unsure when models were coming in. I started calling other ADs in the tri-state area and found one about 75 minutes from here that had one in hand and was willing to hold it for me. I went in to the AD and told them I was going elsewhere to purchase the watch since they had no ETA on the watch I wanted.

I drove the 75 minutes and as I was pulling up to the jeweler, the AD calls me and tells me that they received a shipment with an extra BLNR in its contents and asked if I would come back to complete the purchase. I obliged , thanked the store I was at for holding the watch and explained the situation to them. They were very understanding and I wound up driving back home and getting the watch from a local store here in the Area. It's funny how things worked out.

Sorry for the long story.

Enjoy the watch.

What's even nicer is there is an apparent lack of inventory from Rolex on the Sub, Hulk, and this GMT BLNR. My ad told me it's just a rumor to benefit the Gray market. I then asked him how many he had in stock of either of these models and he said, none, there's a waiting list for all of them. Nuff said. Wouldn't it be grand it they came out at Bazelworld and said the bezel that takes 40 hrs to make and they have to discard many will be discontinued.

Congrats! I am a fan of the 5 digit refs due to my wrist size. In the BLNR I love the technology they developed for the ceramic bezel insert. Pics or it never happened...
