Now you've started buying Rolexes you will soon realise all the issues you will have to consider.

I assure you, no one made him buy it. He’s been stalking the piece since an unveiling event.

Great piece Jerry, that thing crushes the SS BLRO indoor or out. Congrats my friend!

Thanks Tom!! Can’t wait for you to try this on when we get home brother 🤜🏽🤛🏽. I realize this isn’t everyone’s “cup of tea”, but when I saw it, I had to have it. It really is a thing of beauty in the flesh 🤩

That is absolutely stunning! Perhaps my favorite GMT. Blows away the WG BLRO and the SS BLNR. How is the weight compared to the WG Sub? Same?

Thank you Jaime. Surprisingly it’s substantially lighter than the WG Sub. I don’t know how or why, but it feels very similar to the weight of my TT 5 digit Sub. They took two links out to size it but I guess that would be the same for the Smurf. I got two compliments on the watch this morning, seemingly by those who really don’t know what it is. It’s absolutely stunning and I feel a little ashamed that I’m so blessed to own one.

Thank you Sir. The sales rep made it very clear that it was the only one in Mexico so the price was 39,750. I didn’t even try to get a discount. He told me that if no one had bought it by the weekend, it was being shipped off to their bigger store in Cancun. Even the coffin it came in had the word “SOLD” in big bold letters on it. I’m getting 8.9% back in 60-90 days. Something to do with taxes since I’m not a Mexican resident. So out the door it should be around 36,213 plus whatever it costs when I declare it on my way back. I’m very happy paying MSRP on this beautiful time piece

They did however give us a very good price on a Cartier Santos that my wife really loved. The Cartier “rose gold” is really nice. Not as pink as Rolex’s Everose.

Crushing the Cartier! Omg nothing but class you two. We just left a wine event, Andrea with her DJ on the jubilee and my Dblue on rubber. Life is good my friend. See you soon. Say hi to Augie.

Congratulations!!! I can’t wait to see this in the metal. I have never liked rose gold, however I have a feeling I am going to love this one.

That is just a stunning shot, congrats to the both of you!

The CHNR looks amazing in that shot. When these were announced I immediately felt the full RG version was the one to get. Wear it in good health

I will be slumming it with the SS BLRO (if I can find one) and dreaming of the CHNR.
