Does anyone have one? Was it only made for a year? I am thinking of moving on my blue dial SS SkyD, and this looks like the perfect upgrade.

Please go meteorite!!
I have asked, but was told no hope, seriously oversubscribed.Please go meteorite!!
Apparently, one blue dial (their first of the new movement) has just come into the Group from Rolex, and my name has been put forward. Just waiting for the interview date.😉
Congratulations. Indeed a nice pair.
Latest model is 126719 BLRO with new movement 70 hour power reserve
Did not know that.
Thank you for the info.
Mmm, that’s the baby.
Now just sell my the SD for retail and everyone is happy!!
Fine, if you have the £17k equivalent for aftermarket retail, then please PM me.👍
That model is still on the website but has been discontinued was made for a year. I had mate waited for one since launch to be told cannot have one.

Unless I’m wrong, the one that was a short production watch was the white gold, blue dial, and ‘old’ movement?
You might be right I thought it was the new one not new one with ok'd movement

Was chatting to the local AD; he reckons the ‘hot’ watch is still the 116509.....that’s the absurd power of John Meyer for you. Since he singled it out, the lemmings have been out in force.
Of course, i sold mine; always seem to get it wrong.
I do like the Yachtmaster 42mm, which is why I was talking to the AD. But that’s another story. Getting what you want from Rolex can be like clambering around an assault course.
Fortunately, I’m immune to the charms of the GMTs. Visually just too much for me.

^^^^yet they are being offered for sale under retail? WF as an example.
Lands tomorrow.
Was reading up on this recently as it's a watch I really like. The above is correct and lots of people thought it was to then be discontinued. However it wasn't but did get the newer 3285 movement. Also read that Rolex will do a dial swap on the black dial to blue at service although personally do not know if that is the case. I think my preference would then be for the black dial 3186.
Indeed. AD says three to four weeks for delivery, for which I read eight to twelve! Blue dial.
Didn’t they go:
Black dial, old movement - 4 or so years?
Blue dial, old movement - a year or less
Blue dial, new movement - current watch
Doing this from memory rather than a source.
I was chatting with my AD prior to Basel and he was saying how the price of these had gone mad. He has a customer who boasted he had paid nearly 90k for a minter 😂🙈 after they were discontinued. Obviously after Basel he was guessing Rolex had done this on purpose to put two fingers up to grey’s
Fabulous watch with the blue dial.
So the AD has said that the very few pieces they will be receiving from Rolex will be allocated by a decision of the Group’s board, based on the value of individual customers. He is putting my name forward, but neither he nor I are hopeful!
Didn’t the 116719 blue have a 3 month production run? Sure they were trading for late 30s last time I looked.
Should of got one at a discount when I could!
For 30 it’ll take the green yellow gold Daytona ever time

Sorry, far too gawdy, in my opinion.
Sorry, doesn’t do it for me.

And the blue white gold Pepsi does?
Trust me, the green Daytona is the better watch in multiple ways

Beautiful watch skyman . Enjoy and wear in good health
Me too but I can’t pull full yellow gold off!
For the price i’d go white gold Daytona or a day date if possible.
It’s been asked before but I can imagine a precious metal watch is lighter than an SS one? I love the blue WG Sub!
There’s the white gold, silver panda one (on bracelet too) which no one ever talks about. It’s stunning, and if they released it in steel it’d probably be no less expensive from greys.
That’s a lovely watch but I prefer the blue dial for the white gold bracelet version
That might be a good alternative, and one which is more likely to be available.
My brother has that and it’s stunning.
And the white gold blue dial Pepsi is oh so subtle and class...no display of wealth here...
I really didn't like the blue dial when I saw it in person. Think the black dial suits it better.
The blue looks flat, I’d much prefer a sunburst finish.
All hypothetical as I couldn’t ever afford one without selling every watch I own and then be terrified of wearing the thing anyway!
I can see what you are saying. If I get the nod (unlikely), then I would need to be happy with the blue when seeing the watch in the flesh.
A couple of years ago, every Rolex window display seemed to have a white gold BLRO as its cornerstone.
Looks very cool with the blue dial, I've never seen on in the metal though!
Looks lovely. Look forward to more pics when you get it.
Excellent choice - just check the cyclops alignment is ok!
Martyn
It is on my list!
Cool looking watch that! Blue dial is sick.
Well, looks like my name has come up. However, there is a but. I am out of the U.K. until the end of the month, and the watch needs to be bought and paid for this week. So, I would need to buy sight unseen. Bit of a quandary.
That’s only been about 3 weeks since you registered your interest with them. If they really can’t hold onto it for you until you get back, you wouldn’t have to wait too long for the next one, surely?
You would think so. It is the first one received by the Group, apparently.
Rolex manager has just negotiated a two week hold for me. So, we shall see.....
