Never seen the word hideous used so much on so many great watches

Other wise you'd regret never getting it. lol i sweat nights when i don't get what i really wanted and could have and pass up on a great opportunity

exciting week for both of us I presume, are you heading out to your dealer to take another look at that BP ?

My Dealer just emailed me yesterday with a pic, saying I should grab it since it's something I've been asking them so much about lol.

I'm heading there tomorrow morning ASAP after work

Of course I'm getting it, it's at less than half the french retail price, and they told me it's 99%, really like new, not even 1 micro scratch, everything I found on the net about them when it comes to "like new" all buyers say they really got like new, the OP RO is easy to come by, there are many, maybe will get one later, this one at this price and in this condition is practically impossible, at the same time it's normal, BP makes very low annual quantities, less than 10.000, like I said with them it's 1 watchmaker who makes 1 watch from A to Z, don't know how many RO's AP make every year but I would say many.

Especially disturbing is my grey dealer telling me about their 25% return of new watches for defects, you don't expect this from such a brand…

Of course tomorrow will be heading to the BP boutique to take another look at it

You're heading for which one tomorrow? The BLNR? One advice get it, it's really a great watch, and this from a guy who doesn't like the normal GMT II.

LOL that's true, but I can understand because when I saw it the 1st time on pics I wouldn't have said hideous but not far

As for me, tomorrow will not be the BLNR

But here's a clue

Great news Arnaud, congrats. I am delighted that I not only helped save you some coin, but also helped push you to what you really wanted.

Always enjoy your posts, keep 'em coming.

Nice the blue is amazing so I guess it's what is called if I'm not wrong the sunburst? TT sub with blue dial?

Oh ok, I thought you were showing this one to give a hint about the one you were getting, didn't think it was the actual one yeah this dial of blue is really great, I too don't like very much the YM with the other dials, boring as you say, but this one really pops out, congrats

[lapince]

When it comes to blue dials Rolex can make great ones, like the WG sub, the blue is also amazing...

It's a very cool watch but I would have made it pass after the BLNR

That went over my head I was still half asleep at 4:20am hahaha. Go with the AP

went with the BP LOL, like new for less than 50% of the retail price in Europe, from a very reputable grey dealer in the US, couldn't miss out on such a deal

GET IT, you clearly love it, and whilst you have an amazing collection, there a quite a few that I would flip in order to get that BLNR inside it's definitely my favorite of my Rolexes, even my favorite of all the watches I have,
