Congratulations!

I'm floored by that selection at an AD. If faced with that, I'm not convinced that I'd have the self restraint not to just buy the lot (financial probity be damned!!).

Huge congrats! It's a really lovely model and that's an impressive display with so many popular stainless steel models in stock. It's been years since I saw such a similar display in England. Enjoy it in the best of health!

Sure was a sight to behold. I wasnt sure if they would allow me to take photos or film, but they insisted! They also gave me a thick catalogue book as well that has all the rolex models and descriptions, etc.

Lucky to see all that stock in the same place too. I have to say though, that is one ghastly shirt the dude holding the LVc is wearing.
Yessir! Interestingly enough, this whole mess started in May when i saw a 5 digit polar explorer 2. From then on I bounced to the 6 digit Polar, Subc no date, SubC date, Sub hulk and then BLNR. Im very happy with my choice!

Originally I was after either the Submariner Hulk or this GMT Batman. I'm from Vancouver, Canada but work in the US so I took a look there to see if any were available.

But turns out with the weak Canadian dollar, and the fact I work in the US, when I convert the currencies at the Rolex AD in Canada, it's alot cheaper to purchase in Canada. Both the Hulk and Batman were roughly the same price, so it was a hard choice!

Onto the pics!





They had almost every model in stock:




The HULK and all it's glory!



Some "Rolex Water" from the boutique !



I'm VERY excited about this purchase and would like to say Hi to everyone from this forum. I lurk but never post lol. So here it is!
Wow - the AD's shirt! Nearly as amazing as your new BLNR...lol Enjoy your new purchase!

Regards
