I just placed an order for one on Saturday and my AD have 3 in the queue in front of me and they are saying that if the other 3 pick up their watches then i will be waiting around 6-8 months. they are getting one every 2 months on average.

It's an update, the watch arrived on Saturday so only a 7 week wait. Fortunately the 3 people in front of me in the queue backed out so I got bumped up to the front.

Thank you for a terrific video review. While researching the BLNR I found that about a third of the video reviews were helpful and the other two-thirds either focused solely on fashion or on brand-building for the presenters.

Your quiet, understated 9 minutes is just a fantastic overview of this amazing watch. I've now had mine for a month and am astonished every time I put it on, and, as you've noted, by the subtlety of the blue (it really does look different in bright and subdued lighting). I also love being able to tell my reference time at a glance with the gorgeous blue GMT wand.

I know I can have every world time on my iphone but being able to discreetly check the time and know the time in Stockholm is one of the pleasures of these amazing Rolex machine works of art. Even an Apple watch is not discreet because it lights up like a Christmas tree when you raise it to check the time : )

VERY nice review. I love my BLNR too. I love the details in your review too along with the history for those that aren't aware.
