Got tired of waiting for the call...
Got tired of waiting for a BLRO so been looking at 5 digit GMTs. Wow, I had no idea what I was missing! This 16700 wears SO nicely, and I can’t stop looking at that patina! The dial is also very subtly spidering - a contentious topic I know, but I like the character it adds.

Great one, quite frankly if I had to part with one of my pepsi it would be the new one

And, love the contrast between the classic GMT and the Tesla. Congratulations.

You can pick up a 62510h jubilee and a black bezel and still have less than you’d pay for a BLRO on the gray market. Congrats, and welcome to the vintage GMT club!

Congrats to You, Great move! I saw the new Blro when it was first announced at an AD showing. It was a little underwhelming to me. My AD pulled through with a New Batman in Oct'18 but still having the pepsi itch I was looking until I eventually found my 16710. There's just something special about a 5dgt Gmt.. Enjoy that Beauty!!...

Congrats! The 5 digits are the best-kept Rolex secret. Charming, understated, nicely proportioned, super wearable, and with materials that will age gracefully. Enjoy, enjoy - these are the models to have, the end of the tradition that built the brand.

That’s a beauty for sure! I passed on a 16700 before I got my 16710, both fantastic pieces and you’ve got that rich patina too

The vintage looks great! Have you considered swapping the bracelet for a nato?
