Hello everyone from NJ

Hey guys, I’ve been a long time lurker and finally decided to make an account. I’ve owned the following Rolex watches: 16570 Polar, 11610LN. and 216570 Black. I recently sold off my collection and started rebuilding with an Omega Speedmaster Pro. So for the first time in 5 years I am without a Rolex. My goal is to have a balanced collection starting with a chronograph, then adding a GMT (BLNR), and finally a diver (TT bluesy sub)... in an ideal world I’d replace the speedy for a white ceramic Daytona, but I don’t think I’ll ever be willing to pay way over MSRP for a watch. I am currently hunting for the BLNR, and am hoping to find one at an AD. I’ve called several ADs, but nothing sounds promising. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I look forward to learning from all of you!

- Chris

Welcome. I'm sure you can find A BLNR with a little patience. Put yourself in a list or two.

Welcome. I would call AD's in Las Vegas and get on every list available. It will not take long.
