Congratulations. I have almost bought the BLRO a couple of times but have opted for other PM watches. It is on my list and when I do some flipping at some point in the future I am sure it will make it into the collection.

Thanks for all the positive feedback. The BLNR is gone. Great watch but fairly common here in the DC area. I've never seen a BLRO in the wild and love it's exclusivity, color/contrast and weight.

So, how does the white gold feel as compared the stainless of your BLNR?
Noticeable difference?
