Rolex

About once a month I like to spend a little time browsing the watch shops which are cluttered around the more popular shopping districts. Many are in malls, with others spilling out on to the adjoining streets. Out-of- towners will be overwhelmed and awed...  

Congratulations my friend on a great impulse buy. If only one watch for the rest of your life, this is a likely candidate for me. Rolex have been seducing me for 25 years ever since I was an options broker and the Barrow Boys would try to flog Subs to all... 

you resisted up till now Dean! I'm sure this year will be a propitious one for you and all your wishes will be granted.:) Thanks for the very kind words. Best fernando

.. you are going to love that new addition to your collection, same as I do, from the first moment onwards. Wear " him" in the best of your health ! All the very best, hs

for opening my eyes hs. I have no doubt I will enjoy this one immensely! Cheers my friend. :) fernando

Huge congratulations, this is a lovely catch, my friend... I fell I will fall...I am just waiting for Basel, with not many hopes. Best, Nicolas

Maybe for the black/red? Hmmm..... I quite understand.:) Thank you for your blessing my friend. ;) Best fernando

.. is Top of the Crop !! BTW, today I am also quite happy with my 5513 .. Tomorrow will again be a GMT - day for me.. :)) Best, as always hs

Congrats! The Bruiser is definitely not something readily available in Singapore. Many ADs I asked told me have to order and wait. Some wrist shots pls! :) Cheers Robin

I'm sure they will arrive in due course. I can see why there is such interest in this piece. Are you on the list for one? I've quickly put together a few wrist shots after sizing it perfectly for my wrist. Pls. excuse some of the stickers that are still p...  

I love it! I am not on the list in Singapore... not sure if I want another Rolex for now but if I do, this will be my top 2 choices! Your wrist shots are fantastic!! cheers robin

These nicknames are far easier to remember than 116710 BLNR. :) cheers fernando

I would like to get the proper sized screw drivers to make the adjustments on my DeepSea bracelet, along with the new DateJust I purchased for my wife. Additionally Fernando, what grade of Loctite are you using? Thanx in advance, Jeff

of the screwdriver should be 1.6 Jeff but make sure the head is flat for a proper fit. It says FM on the side of the screwdriver. I'm using Loctite 222 which is recommended for the purpose. If you need information on where to purchase them and other watch... 

If I search on chrono24 for 116710BLNR I find 61 pieces for sale that are available from stock of the seller. So they are not that hard te get at all?

Which is more interesting, IMO... Best, Nicolas

Superb decision....you won't regret this one. Congratulations to you!

you have been thinking about this since day 1 last year.....back then you decided you didn't like it.....bezel too busy.....cyclop...."never into GMT".....I have to endure all this cr*p from you..... then you saw baron......and was asking me about it........ 

you are trying to be humorous but you have a funny way of expressing yourself. :) Pls. post something more constructive or share something related to horology. I've always encouraged you to post but what I said to you in fun should be related in such a ma... 

A bruise to display proudly! Congrats, Fernando! Funny how those monthly walks always have a similar conclusion, don´t they? :-)))) All the best, my friend, Alex

are dangerous Alex but hard to resist. :) In this case only my wallet got bruised. A great week-end to you my friend. fernando

Congratulations! I had a chance to help my friend to purcahse his first Rolex, and he chose this.. I thought, it's actually much nicer than I thought it was gonna be like, initally... Congrats again on such a fine purchase Sam

to warm up to it Sam. I had the previous GMT 116710 LN and after a while it played second fiddle to the subs. However, with the BLNR it has taken on a new lease of life and the cool blue/black bezel is just what it needs to differentiate it from the other... 

had a doubt when the first time I saw it.. But then it grows on me.. As much as I want to get one, I think to have 2 ceramic GMT is too much for me… And the LN one is irreplaceable as it was a gift from my precious one So I guess, I'll just have to enjoy ... 

Cool gift from your wife! Happy man. Nicolas

A dealership just across the state lines has one in stock right now. I'm very tempted to make this my first Rolex purchase.

Congrats on the new watch! I like it!
