<--- Tried it on today. Was at the mall, and walked into the AD. There it was. Wow.

Yes, the blue and red look exactly like the pictures. I was amazed at how the white gold just melts to the wrist. With the BLNR, I wear it. The BLRO felt like it became a part of me. It did sing to me. I started to take a wrist shot, but couldn't... I'd keep looking at it all night.

Oh well... Just dropped almost 30K cash on a new Harley a few months ago. Maybe in a few years.

Thanks Tom! Believe me, it's just a matter of time before I have a solid gold or platinum GMT. The question is how long.

We bought a new house AND put a new Harley in the garage this year alone. Ouch. Realistically, it will be a couple of years... But it will happen someday barring incident. After yesterday, even the wife knows it is an inevitability.

I am still curious what the platinum GMT offering will be... Coke perhaps? It will be a tough decision. IMHO, there will be a platinum release in the next few years.

Off to work... Have a great weekend.

A truly wonderful watch. The weight is superb.

After some reflection, it is obvious why Rolex made this watch in white gold.
It is an elite piece- distinguished from the other GMTIIc & I love the BLNR

Like the Platona, it is a timeless piece that has a unique place in the pantheon of Rolex

Add me to the wannabe list. Can't wait to see one in the flesh. Still waiting for my AD to get one. Probably be a while for me to acquire one due to the price, but hopefully someday. In the meantime, I am loving my BLNR. For now, color me green with envy!! Lol.
