Another newbie from San Diego!
Hello everyone..
Glad to have found this community. I wanted my first Rolex to celebrate my 45th b-day earlier this month. I was set on getting a 116710 but I was debating between the LN or the BLNR.. knowing the BLNR is a lot more popular in this forum. Like many others, I visited two of my local ADs one day hoping to at least make it onto a waitlist. One of the two ADs wouldn't even entertain the idea of a waitlist and was steering me towards the DJs. A little disappointed, I went to the second AD where I received a much better customer service but again no SS models to be had there. At least they took my name and number to put me on "the list" which I doubt they keep track of. The next day, just for kicks, I called my third AD in North County and the nice lady that answered said, I just received this GMT Master II black like 10 minutes ago and it hasn't been spoken for. I confirmed the ference number and paid for it over the phone. I went to pick up my new 116710LN a couple of hours later. I guess it was meant to be! I'm now thinking of a Tudor Pelagos or GMT to continue my collection. |
