Blnr

Got my BLNR this morning from my (UK) AD at RRP, I’d been on the waiting list since shortly after it came out and had got other sports models from them/servicing on my older models in the past so they know me. They took the stickers off and are keeping the card for 12m - standard these days! Interestingly now 5 year warranty with Rolex is extended to 10 by Goldsmiths - in house for the remaining 5 years. I’m intending to enjoy it and not sell any time soon! Here’s a pic alongside my black GMT everyday wearer. I find the jubilee bracelet more comfortable and love the look in real life.

They kept your card for 12 months? That’s BS!

Agree, but I'd also happily accept that condition to get the watch at retail price.

Yup, I hate it but it’s a good strategy. Would gladly let them hold it a year too.

Yeh UK market is mad at the moment - going for a bit more grey Market than in US - poor supply due to Brexit uncertainy? So UK dealers especially big retailers are under pressure to not sell to flippers - broadly good for those who refuse to pay grey Market prices.

Will post pic later :)
