To celebrate a goal achieved, I went ahead and bought this grail watch.

Dealer said it will take anywhere from 1 month to 12 months to arrive and he didn’t have a clue.

Hoping to post some pictures here in a month!

Anyways thanks for reading my obvious brag post lol.

The black-dialed version was technically discontinued, since it was replaced by the blue-dialed version. However, Rolex did not change the reference number.

Great watch. I look forward to seeing the pictures when it arrives.

Odie-r · 22 September 2018, 10:18 PM

Exciting! And congrats!

this is why i also think it's the reason they will swap the black dial to blue. Had it been a different reference then they probably wouldn't. They change the hands/dial on the Explorer I as well and that didn't change numbers either.

Congrats OP

Congrats...you'll love it!

Old Geezer · 22 September 2018, 10:31 PM

Hopefully it comes in quickly. I would think a PM reference could be easily sourced from AD.

HogwldFLTR · 22 September 2018, 10:36 PM

Congratulations!!! Great watch!!! Looking forward to seeing the incoming sooner than later!!!

2807 · 22 September 2018, 10:39 PM

Lucky you. A dream watch for me too.
Congrats on reaching that goal.

rmlovett1 · 22 September 2018, 11:38 PM

They are discontinued but stock still available in some countries as far as I understand. Aurum group in the UK don’t have any and can’t get any. They are the largest Rolex AD’S here.
Great choice by the way.

RayShepherd · 23 September 2018, 01:26 AM

Nice choice

Batchelor22 · 23 September 2018, 02:27 AM

Well done, that’s a great choice!

FYI, the blue version debuted at Basel '18, so many dealers just haven't gotten it yet.

Snow-Dweller · 23 September 2018, 05:08 AM

Good choice. I’m wearing mine today, although it hasn’t had much wrist time since I got my Tudor...

My AD confirmed today that it has been discontinued!

mbalmz · 23 September 2018, 05:50 AM

tkerrmd · 23 September 2018, 05:56 AM

So you're saying the new, blue-dialed 116719 BLRO, which was just released this year, has already been discontinued? Are you sure your sources weren't just talking about the black-dialed 116719 BLRO? That was discontinued earlier this year to make way for the SS Pepsi and the blue-dialed 116719.

lee fowler · 23 September 2018, 07:48 AM

Interesting article here as well.
